#Comics NEWS! the return of Spider-man 2099

Is this real...?!


Apparently, Spider-man 2099 will finally come back in an all-new series. And written by original series creator Peter David (this time, under the art of Will Sliney).

So... huh.. yay?!

But there's a catch!

The series will be spin-off from "SpiderOck" aka the Superior Spider-man series. Which simply means this is an all-new Miguel O'Hara (the fourth one following the Timestorm version and Exiles). And the series will be in fact set in present day, following the plot of Superior which left our 2099 hero in modern New York, working at Alchemax to prevent its rise.

So...huh.. nay?!

I mean, at least the very convulsed pitch and the fact it's all meant to tie-into the upcoming event (that whole SPIDER-VERSE thing) doesn't bode well for starters.


On the bright side, it's announced as a new on-going and not a mini. That means if the book survives past these first events, we might actually get our good ol' regular 2099 back once our first conflict's resolved...

Oh, well.. Perhaps it's just some random joke on Marvel's part... Let's see if they announced the return of the whole Marvel MC2/Spider-girl before the end of the day....

CBR Spider-man 2099


Time for another comic book review, and a Marvel one for a change.
For someone who grew up with Spider-man, I've actually never been much of a fan of his more recent on-going series.
Running out of ideas or trying to spin the book on new "more interesting" directions (note the "quotes") , whenever they resort to symbiotes, clones, satanic deals or vampires is usually when they lose my interest.

I always found the earlier classic stories or the origin story more appealing to a broader audience.

That is why I usually like What if...? stories or tales from alternate Marvel Universe that go back to basics with a different interpretation of the myth behind The Amazing Spider-man.


Today's comic is easily one of my all-time favorite (as DC Comics would have named it) Elseworld-take, the futuristic dystopiaof 2099!!
