SPINE-TINGLING SPIDER-MAN Comic Launching In October; Will Put A Horror-Filled Spin On The Web-Slinger

When you think about horror, we're guessing Spider-Man doesn't immediately come to mind. However, the web-slinger will soon find himself embracing a whole different genre in what's being described by Marvel Comics as "the scariest Spidey story of the year."

Following September's Spine-Tingling Spider-Man #0, the print version of the acclaimed Infinity Comic, writer Saladin Ahmed and Juan Ferreyra will reunite for an all-new Spine-Tingling Spider-Man series in October.

Ahmed and Ferreyra's horror saga shook readers to their core when it debuted in 2021 on Marvel Unlimited, but that was just the beginning of Peter Parker's nightmare. Spidey will continue to lose sleep as he swings his way into another unforgettable, mind-bending journey that promises to grip the fears of readers in a new four-issue adventure. 

After a fight with Spider-Cide, Spider-Man gets taken on the scariest ride of his life as he finds himself in the most terrifying haunted house possible. Who took Peter's powers? Who took Peter's friends and family? Who stands the best chance of taking Spider-Man down permanently?

"We're putting Peter through a gruelling horror movie grinder, and that resilient spirit of his will be tested like never before!" Ahmed promises. "I tapped into some darkness writing this, but the real star here is Juan's mind-blowing, visionary work - which is genuinely some of the best Spider-art I've ever seen."

This sounds like a blast for Spider-Man and horror fans alike, and we're definitely intrigued to see what this tale adds to the wall-crawler's mythos. 

Seeing the MCU's Spider-Man pulled into a horror story would be fun, though that doesn't seem likely. Both Venom and Morbius were eyed as potential horror franchises by Sony Pictures, but the former was a comedy and the latter...it doesn't seem unfair to say it was a joke. 

Spine-Tingling Spider-Man #1 arrives in comic book stores on October 18.
