Image: Helen Chen/Marvel ComicsAll the way back in 2020, it was reported that Sony and Marvel were teaming up to create a TV show for Silk, one of the more recent heroes to spin from Spider-Man’s (Peter Parker’s) supporting cast. In the years since, news on the show has been hard to come by: after an announcement late last year that it was retitled Silk: Spider Society and was headed up by The Walking Dead alum Angela Kang, there’s been pretty much nothing on the show—partly because the WGA strike meant the writers room…

Image: Hot ToysHere’s a first look at the latest Spider-Man figure from collectible giants Hot Toys.This rendering of the Amazing Spider-Man is inspired by Marvel’s web-slinging action, complete with pop-out comic book style framing. Featuring a title card along with cityscape base, the figure can be posed in action going up against the Green Goblin. The figure’s accessories help create different looks for posing, like a webbed torso, web-shooters plus string, and a camera (paging J. Jonah Jameson!). Not much more is…

When you make the third highest-grossing film of all time, the first thing people will ask about is a sequel. That’s exactly what happened when 2021's Spider-Man No Way Home had its incredibly successful run. For the film’s star though, Tom Holland, a sequel isn’t a sure thing. To him, there’s more to it than money. There’s legacy and reputation—and in a new interview, he discussed all that, while also teasing what may be coming.“Even AI Rappers are Harassed by Police” | AI Unlocked“All I can say is that we have been…

Image: Marco Checchetto/Marvel ComicsThe original incarnation of Marvel Comics’ Ultimate Universe lived (and basically died) on Ultimate Spider-Man. Brian Michael Bendis’ run on that book with a number of artists including Mark Bagley, Sara Pichelli and plenty more was so consistent that it remained a bright spot among the larger messiness of its home universe. And in the same way that much of the Avengers draws on the Ultimates incarnation from by Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch, the same is true for the webhead: pretty much…

Even before Miles Morales got brought over to the main Marvel universe by way of Secret Wars to hang out with Peter Parker more easily, it was a given that the two Spider-Men would eventually team up on adventures. And while they’ve saved New York and the world several times in various comic events or certain other media, they haven’t actually gotten a chance to share an ongoing series.io9 Interview: Oscar Isaac Was 'All In' on Moon KnightThat’s finally set to change with a new series fittingly dubbed Spectacular…

Insomniac Games has had busy couple of decades. The American developer has been making beloved video games since 1994 — the hands and minds behind early PlayStation classics like Spyro the Dragon and Ratchet & Clank — but past few years have seen the studio take on a different beast altogether. It started with 2018's Marvel's Spider-Man, a Game of the Year nominee that brought back the iconic web-crawling superhero into the gaming spotlight. Outside of its legacy in comic books and films, Spider-Man is a video gaming…

It's perhaps difficult to grasp — especially for younger fans — how vibrant the legacy of Spider-Man, the world's favourite web-crawler, is in video games. Over the years, we've come to know Spider-Man from his many incarnations in animated TV shows, films, and comic books. Sam Raimi's take on the character propelled it to new heights of popularity. More recently, Spider-Man films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Sony Pictures' Miles Morales animated features have established their own identity. But the web-swinging,…

What makes a good Spider-Man story? Aside from capturing the mythology of the quippy, affable, web-swinging hero, it also must present great adversity for him, and not just when he's wearing the mask. It cannot be a Spider-Man story without Peter Parker. Unlike other superheroes who can wear a cowl and leave their identity behind, the two are inseparable. Spider-Man swings into a fight, but it's Peter who takes the punch. It must also ground Spider-Man in the fragility of human experience. The wall-crawler is strong, but…

Image: Travis Charest/Marvel ComicsWith Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse being a theatrical success and Spider-Man 2 set to hit the PlayStation 5 in October, everyone’s got Spiders on the brain. Ahead of the film’s release, Marvel made an effort to push specific Spider-Man variants such as Pavitr Prabhakar (Spider-Man India) and Hobie Brown (Spider-Punk). But there’s one Spider who doesn’t appear in that movie, but is surprisingly coming back to comics after a few years of being retired.io9 Interview: Oscar Isaac Was…
