Marvel announces new 'Spider-Man' series
Published Tuesday, Jul 14 2009, 18:52 BST | By Mark Langshaw
The new monthly comic book will follow on from the events of Amazing Spider-Man #600 and will see the return of one of the hero's "most controversial" foes.
"With the Gauntlet storyline starting up and many classic adversaries of Spider-Man coming back to the book, we wanted to find a place to tell you more about them without it eating up too many pages of the thrice-weekly Amazing Spider-Man," explained series editor Steve Wacker.
"So while we're tossing ideas around on where to best put that stuff, beleaguered assistant Tom Brennan came up with the notion to bring back the Web title as a way to give a home to stories to people caught up in Pete's life.
"Starting with the first issue's Kaine story by JM DeMatteis and then continuing onto stories about Electro, the Rhino, the Lizard and many more by Web-Head Fred van Lente and regular Spidey artist Barry Kitson, the stories here directly impact what we're doing in Amazing Spider-Man!"
The series will be the first new Spider-Man title in over two years.
Web Of Spider-Man #1 arrives in comic book stores this October.
