When Spider-Boy first debuted in Spider-Man #7 “no one” expected the character to be so popular that he would spin off into his own series, but that is exactly what is happening at Marvel Comics.
Dan Slott will take on the writing duties, with art by Paco Medina. The series will also feature covers by Spider-Boy co-creator Humberto Ramos.
Here comes the spectacular SPIDER-BOY! After the events of THE END OF THE SPIDER-VERSE story arc, Spider-Boy’s secret history as Spider-Man’s sidekick was nearly forgotten forever. But now those mysteries will be revealed while they embark on exciting new adventures…TOGETHER! The freaktacular first issue will feature two pulse-pounding tales as Bailey team up with Squirrel Girl and then confronts the mad scientist who made him into a monster… MADAME MONSTROSITY!
“Spider-Man isn’t supposed to have a sidekick. That’s just wrong on so many levels. And that is exactly why we are going to have so much fun with this,” Slott explained. “Both this character– and this new title– are going to break all the rules. Bailey Briggs is going to have over-the-top adventures in the Spider-Man corner of the Marvel Universe. He’ll be facing off against a mix of both all-new villains and fan-favorite Spidey bad guys. The one thing we can promise you, whenever you pick up a copy of SPIDER-BOY, we are going to take the weirdest and wildest swings with every single story! Our goal is to get every reader to ask two questions: ‘What in the hell did I just read?!’ and ‘When is the NEXT one coming out?!’”
Spider-Boy #1 arrives in November 2023.

#YO. SPIDER BOY IS MY FAVORITE SPIDER-PERSON. EVER. UNTIL I DIE. (probably not. it’s a lil’ extreme.) I love spider boy because it’s the spider person that’s most like me. crazy origin, (Not that I have an origin) age, & nobody knows me. If the series is a big hit, it MUST go to either Beyond the spider verse or MCU. (I know it’s maybe too early, but hey! it’s possible!) I’ll do ANYTHING to get the first issue. Even if I have to get on my knees & beg to my parents.(and you DO NOT want to beg to my parents.) GO SPIDER-BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
