Marvel Announces New Spider Man Comic Spinoff Bridging Animated Series Finale

The finale of Marvel Animation’s Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man featured time loops, paradoxes, and the arrival of Doctor Strange. Showrunner Jeff Trammell confirmed that season 2 will include a time skip. This change allows the story to return to the action with a more confident Peter Parker.

Fans who worried about missing the repercussions of the first-season finale can follow a new comic spinoff series that bridges the gap between seasons.

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!

The four-issue comic book series is titled Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. Christos Gage wrote the series, and Eric Gapstur drew the art. Both creators previously worked on the prequel comic of the same name, which followed Peter Parker discovering his powers during his freshman year. Leonardo Romero and Luciano Vecchio provided cover art for the new series.

Christos Gage and Eric Gapstur set the stage for the animated series second season by exploring Oscorp and introducing classic Spider-Man allies and supervillains.

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.

Christos Gage also praised the artwork for the new issues.

Best of all, Eric Gapstur returns on art, and while he was great before, he’s leveled up. Wait until you see his work on Spidey, Daredevil, and classic Spider-Man villains finally making their debut here…whoops, spoiler! 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!

The first issue of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man debuts on Dec. 9. Pre-orders are open at local comic stores.
