Marvel Announces 'Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man' Prequel Comic
Marvel Comics announced Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, a prequel comic book to the Disney+ series of the same name. The five-issue miniseries from writer Christos Gage and artist Eric Gapstur will debut December 11th. Check out the main cover by Leonardo Romero and a variant cover featuring animation from the series below!
“I’ve had the privilege of writing a lot of Spider-Man’s adventures, both in comics and in the Insomniac video games, but one thing I’ve never gotten the chance to do is recount his earliest exploits,” Gage said. “And the exciting part about this book is it’s a brand new take on those formative times. While this is definitely Peter Parker, the Spidey we know and love, he’s got a new cast of supporting characters – including Nico Minoru, who you may know from Runaways – and some surprising twists!”
Marvel also shared more on what the series is about:
In Marvel Animation’s Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Peter Parker is on his way to becoming a hero, with a journey unlike what we’ve seen before and a style that celebrates the character’s earliest comic book roots. In this new comic book series, you can take the very first steps along with him as he discovers his powers, decides to become a hero, and even picks out his name and costume. Now Peter’s gotta survive an entire Freshman year as a newbie crime-fighting vigilante…and if you think you know how this story goes, you are in for a surprise!
