Marvel Rising: Battle of the Bands

Marvel Rising: Battle of the Bands

Music by
Michael McCuistion

Ghost-Spider is no stranger to having to balance a secret identity and her normal life, but she’s never been a part of a team in this series. Learning to deal with those expectations is a lesson that kids can learn a lot from. Not to mention, Spider-Man has made an entire career of being barely on-time for everything. Luckily for Gwen, she has all of her teammates to help make sure the bad guys see justice. The team might just get to see her perform in the Battle of the Bands too.
