Keep the SPIDER-MAN Party Going This Week and Beyond!
It feels good to have people excited about Spider-Man on the big screen again! SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING was a huge success last week and proved that the old web-slinger still has a bright future swinging around with the Avengers. Never thought a Spidey/Iron Man team-up film would be cool, but it was.
If you’re anything like me, watching a good comic book movie really makes me wanna…well…read some comics! If HOMECOMING is going to get you to visit a comic shop you’re in luck. These days there are a plethora of Spider-books to choose from. There are so many in fact that even I have a hard time keeping up with it all. Let’s take a look at what’s available this week!
SPIDER-MEN II #1
THIS IS IT, TRUE BELIEVERS! The moment five years in the making is finally here! The first time Peter Parker and Miles Morales met ended with a question - WHO IS THE MILES MORALES OF THE MARVEL UNIVERSE?! Now that the Miles you know and love is with Peter in the Marvel Universe, you’re finally going to get that answer to who the OTHER Miles Morales is! And that’s just the tip of the iceberg as Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli bring you the next heart-stopping adventure for both Peter Parker and Miles Morales!
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (vol. 4) #30
SECRET EMPIRE TIE-IN! Otto Octavius is back, but he’s not returning to his old ways…No, this time, he’s THE SUPERIOR OCTOPUS! And he’s allied himself with Steve Rogers and Hydra! What does Ock have planned for Peter and Parker Industries? Nothing good for Spider-Man, that’s for sure!
EDGE OF VENOMVERSE #2
A PINK NIGHTMARE! The wall-breaking wunderkind we call Gwenpool gets ahold of the VENOM SYMBIOTE and turns into a sword-slinging, web-swinging master of disaster! But it won’t all be fun and games when Gwenpool comes across something huge… something that will directly lead to the Venom event of 2017!
VENOM #152
THE LAND BEFORE CRIME’ CONTINUES!
Eddie Brock and the Venom symbiote are reunited, but something’s wrong! The symbiote can’t contain itself within Eddie’s veins and has started seeping out of his pores as he sleeps. To make matters worse, Stegron is aiming to turn all of New York into dinosaurs by sunrise…and Venom is DINNER!
Needless to say, Marvel was prepared and has littered the shelves with some great Spidey-books to keep the party going after the film credits roll.
And don’t forget, we have a slew of trade paper back collections for iconic Spider-Man stories, and there are other great titles on shelves in the Spiderverse including SPIDER-MAN, SPIDER-MAN DEADPOOL, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: RENEW YOUR VOWS, PETER PARKER SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN, SPIDER-MAN 2099, and y personal favorite SPIDER-GWEN just to name a few!
