Miles Morales and Peter Parker are teaming again in Spectacular Spider-Men by Greg Weisman and Humberto Ramos, and Marvel Comics shared the foil variant cover with us (to share with you).
The big news here is Spectacular Spider-Men is scheduled as an ongoing series.
Weisman, known for writing the beloved animated Spectacular Spider-Man animated series and his work on Gargoyles, returns with all the web-slinging drama and adventure that made Spectacular Spider-Man a fan-favorite series. And who better to bring these new sagas to life than one of the definitive Amazing Spider-Man artists, Spidey legend Humberto Ramos! Together, they’ll mold a rewarding mentorship between Peter and Miles as the two heroes swap intelligence and tips, combine their strength against threats, and learn from each other’s differences in age and experience. The pair’s journey kicks off with an epic run-in with the Jackal.
“I’m so thrilled to be writing Spidey again, and the fact that I get to write both Spideys, together, makes the gig doubly sweet,” Weisman said in a press release. “It’s fun for me, because in this book, I see the younger Miles trying really hard to show his maturity to his mentor Peter, while the older Pete feels free to let out his inner 16-year-old with Miles. So there’s a bit of role reversal to the normal mentor-protege relationship than one might expect to see. But I think both Pete and Miles still feel very true to character. And when things get serious, so do our boys (quippage notwithstanding.) What we’re seeing here is the evolution from mentor and protegee to them simply being good friends. And that change of status (in process, as it is) really interests me as a writer. Oh, and Humberto’s art is so damn gorgeous.”
The Spectacular Spider-Men #1 arrives on March 6, 2024.
