We've seen the teasers about the SPIDER-MEN. We've had a pretty good idea who they could be. Now we know.
Marvel has revealed details on the upcoming SPIDER-MEN five-issue story by Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli (with covers by Jim Cheung).
This June, Peter Parker, the Amazing Spider-Man, will cross worlds and meet Miles Morales, the all-new Ultimate Spider-Man.
When Spider-Man tracks down one of his deadliest villains, he suddenly finds himself thrust into another world where Peter Parker is dead…and there’s a new Spider-Man in town. As these two heroes learn the truth about their identities and their universes, they’ll embark on a journey that’ll leave them forever changed—and reveal a startling truth about a key player in the Spider-Man mythos!== TEASER ==
With Spider-Man's 50th anniversary, it was felt this would be a great way to celebrate. Bendis has been working on the character for some time and is the best person to take on these two web-slingers.
This year is the 50th anniversary of Spider-Man and we’re so happy that the stars aligned for us to tell a Spider-Man story that nobody has ever seen before. It’s an honor and a privilege to present both this story and these characters to fans on such an auspicious occasion. The work Sara has done on Spider-Men is a step above the already high standard that she has set for herself on our Ultimate Comics Spider-Man series. For me, this is a celebration of the best character in mainstream comics and some of the best art mainstream comics has to offer.
It's going to be an interesting story. There's bound to be a bit of confusion among the characters. Miles will have an advantage as he will already know Spider-Man is Peter Parker.
