Marvel Animation's Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man swings back onto Disney+ next January, but this December, you can get ready for what’s to come with an all-new comic book series set between Seasons 1 and 2.
Writer Christos Gage and artist Eric Gapstur reunite following their work on the 2024 Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man prequel comic for an all-new four-issue series that, according to Marvel Comics, "sets the stage for the show’s highly anticipated second season, including the official debut of iconic Spidey supervillains."
The last limited series, exploring Peter Parker's adventures before we met him in the series, was a blast, so this follow-up should be a must-read for fans of both the web-slinger and his latest animated series.
Here's the official description for Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #1:
Your favorite web-slinger is back! Peter Parker is ready to save the world thwip by thwip! But things aren’t perfect. He’s been drifting away from his friends. And Norman Osborn may be out of the spider business, but Harry doesn’t think things are over just yet. Something’s happening at Oscorp, and Spidey and his friends need to figure out what it is!
Gage said today, "I'm beyond excited to return to the world of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man! Just like last time, showrunner Jeff Trammell has been incredibly generous about coordinating in a way that makes our story a firm part of the show's continuity. Best of all, Eric Gapstur returns on art, and while he was great before, he's levelled up."
"Wait until you see his work on Spidey, Daredevil, and classic Spider-Man villains finally making their debut here...whoops, spoiler!" the writer teased. "It's a real pleasure to be a part of this take on Spidey that combines the feel of the Silver Age with new and exciting characters and situations. I hope I get to do it again next year!"
Marvel Animation's Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man follows Peter Parker on his journey to becoming a hero, putting a fresh spin on the iconic character’s foundational stories with a style that celebrates the character’s early comic book roots.
