Spider-Man: “Renew Your Vows” Summer 2015 teaser

Media Release

This past Tuesday afternoon Spider-Man writer Dan Slott tweeted this warning to Marvel readers: “Set your watch. Your next Spider-Man related freak out is on the way.” Slott wasn’t just whistling Dixie.

Spider-Man joined by Silk, New Female Superhero

Media Release

Lightning can strike twice — and so, apparently, can radioactive spiders. Marvel Comics is introducing a brand new character, a mysterious female super powered figure named Silk, in this Wednesday’s Amazing Spider-Man #1. And though she’s brand new, her origin is familiar to comic book fans. That’s because her spider-based powers come from the same irradiated arachnid as the one that changed the course of Peter Parker’s life. “The spider lived long enough to bite one more person,” explains writer Dan Slott. “When I pitched that idea at one of…

Peter Parker the True Spider-Man

Walt

This is a review of Superior Spider-Man 30 so if you have not read it yet (So where have you been) I suggest you don’t read this post right now but after you read #30. SPOILER ALERT.
