Swing Into The World Of Marvel Animation's Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man With A Special Prequel Comic Series

Wed, 11 Sep 2024 18:38:26 +0000

Marvel Animation’s Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is coming soon to Disney+, and before it does, fans can swing into these new Spidey stories in a special prequel comic book series.

Written by Marvel superstar Christos Gage and drawn by rising star artist Eric Gapstur, YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD SPIDER-MAN will be a five-issue limited series that introduces a young Peter Parker, his supporting cast, and some of Spidey’s legendary villains. The comic series introduces some of the amazing adventures to come in this highly anticipated animated series that takes place during Peter’s earliest days as Spider-Man.

PREQUEL TO THE ALL-NEW ANIMATED SERIES!

In Marvel Animation’s Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Peter Parker is on his way to becoming a hero, with a journey unlike what we’ve seen before and a style that celebrates the character’s earliest comic book roots. In this new comic book series, you can take the very first steps along with him as he discovers his powers, decides to become a hero, and even picks out his name and costume! Now Peter’s gotta survive an entire Freshman year as a newbie crime-fighting vigilante…and if you think you know how this story goes, you are in for a surprise!

“I've had the privilege of writing a lot of Spider-Man's adventures, both in comics and in the Insomniac video games, but one thing I've never gotten the chance to do is recount his earliest exploits,” Gage said. “And the exciting part about this book is it's a brand new take on those formative times. While this is definitely Peter Parker, the Spidey we know and love, he's got a new cast of supporting characters - including Nico Minoru, who you may know from Runaways - and some surprising twists!”

Marvel’s Zodiac Sets 2028 Release on Disney+ as New Details Emerge

Fri, 09 Oct 2026 03:08:40 +0000

Marvel Television is bringing a new spy thriller to Disney+ with Zodiac, a mysterious live-action series scheduled to premiere in 2028. The studio unveiled the project’s first logo and shared additional details during its presentation at New York Comic Con on October 8.

Brad Winderbaum, head of Marvel Television, Animation and Comics, confirmed that production is scheduled to begin in London in spring 2027, with casting expected to get underway within the next few weeks.

Although Marvel has yet to reveal specific plot details or announce the cast, Winderbaum confirmed that Zodiac will take a spy-thriller approach. He also suggested that the newly revealed logo contains clues about the series’ direction.

“If you're a fan of the comics, there's a lot hidden in that logo,” Winderbaum teased during the presentation, adding that the project’s secrets would remain under wraps for now.

The series’ title draws from Marvel Comics history, where several characters and organizations have been associated with the name Zodiac. One notable incarnation is a criminal organization known as the Zodiac Cartel, which has pursued political and economic control on a global scale.

The organization’s connections to the wider Marvel universe have fueled speculation about the series’ potential ties to S.H.I.E.L.D., the intelligence agency previously led by Nick Fury. However, Marvel has not officially confirmed which version of Zodiac will serve as the foundation for the show.

The spy-thriller format could provide Marvel with an opportunity to explore the more secretive corners of its cinematic universe, potentially shifting the focus away from the superhero spectacle that has defined many of its recent productions.

The announcement of Zodiac comes as Marvel Television continues to shape its upcoming streaming lineup. The series is among the studio’s new projects following changes to its television slate, including the cancellation of Wonder Man after its renewal and the planned conclusion of Daredevil: Born Again with its third season.

Meanwhile, VisionQuest, the concluding chapter of the trilogy that began with WandaVision, is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ on October 14. The animated series Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is also set to return for its second season in January 2027, while X-Men ’97 is expected to continue with a third season.

With filming planned for next spring and a 2028 premiere window, Zodiac remains one of Marvel’s more closely guarded upcoming projects. More details about its cast, creative team and place within the Marvel Cinematic Universe have yet to be announced.

Marvel Zombies To Return With Three Annual Animated Specials Beginning In 2027

Fri, 09 Oct 2026 03:35:56 +0000

Marvel Zombies is getting a new lease on life at Disney+, with Marvel Television and Marvel Animation chief Brad Winderbaum announcing plans for three annual animated specials during the studios’ panel at New York Comic Con.

Rather than moving forward with a traditional second season, the series will return with a trio of two-part specials, each scheduled to premiere around Halloween in consecutive years, beginning in 2027.

The first installment, Marvel Zombies: The Winter Soldier, is set for Halloween 2027 and will focus on Bucky Barnes. The special is expected to address the character’s fate following his encounter with Wanda Maximoff in the zombie-themed episode of Marvel’s What If...?

The second special, Marvel Zombies: The Fist of Khonshu, will arrive around Halloween 2028, shifting the focus to Moon Knight and his connection to the Egyptian moon god Khonshu as the undead apocalypse continues.

The trilogy will conclude with Marvel Zombies: The Last Guardian in Halloween 2029. Winderbaum did not reveal the identity of the titular guardian, leaving the door open for speculation about which Marvel characters could take center stage in the final installment. A connection to the Guardians of the Galaxy remains a possibility, though Marvel has not confirmed any such link.

The announcement establishes a multiyear future for the animated property, with each special set to expand the franchise’s zombie-infested corner of the Marvel universe.

All three installments are scheduled to stream on Disney+.

Marvel and WEBTOON Set November Launch for New Digital Comics App Comics

Tue, 06 Oct 2026 18:19:00 +0000

Marvel Comics and WEBTOON have announced that a new Marvel Comics app will launch November 16, taking over as the primary digital home for Marvel’s massive comics library. The platform, built and operated by WEBTOON, will eventually replace the longtime Marvel Unlimited service, which is scheduled to shut down completely on December 28.

The new app will feature more than 35,000 digital comics spanning the Marvel Universe as well as franchises including Star Wars and Alien, bringing a broad selection of titles from Walt Disney and 20th Century Studios under one digital roof.

For existing Marvel Unlimited subscribers, the transition is designed to be relatively painless. Readers will have the ability to migrate their libraries, reading histories and pull lists to the new platform.

The service will launch with two subscription options. The Base tier will cost $9.99 per month or $69.99 annually and will provide access to the full archive, with new print issues arriving digitally three months after their physical release.

For readers who want newer comics sooner, the Ultimate tier will cost $12.49 per month or $99.99 per year. Subscribers will be able to access new print issues just 30 days after they arrive in comic shops.

There’s also an early deal for fans, tied to New York Comic Con. A limited-time Founding Member offer gives eligible users a full year of the Ultimate tier for $59.99 if they pre-register online or sign up at the convention booth.

Beyond its massive catalog, the new platform aims to make finding and keeping up with comics easier. WEBTOON is bringing its digital expertise to features including personalized recommendations, digital pull lists and a redesigned interface intended to provide a faster, smoother reading experience across mobile and web.

Amazon Nears Green Light for Spider-Man Clone Saga TV Series

Wed, 30 Sep 2026 14:54:15 +0000

Amazon MGM Studios is nearing a green light for a new television series based on Marvel Comics’ Spider-Man Clone Saga, according to Deadline.

The potential Prime Video series would focus on Spider-Man clones Ben Reilly and Kaine Parker. The project is being developed by Kelvin Yu, creator of American Born Chinese.

Representatives for Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television declined to comment.

The series would follow Spider-Noir, which Prime Video canceled this month after one season. The series starred Nicolas Cage as Ben Reilly, whose superhero identity was the title character. In the comics, however, Spider-Man Noir is an alternate version of Peter Parker. The television adaptation changed the character's identity as part of the rights arrangements surrounding the project.

Plot details for the new series remain limited, and sources caution that the eventual adaptation could differ substantially from the comics.

In Marvel's comics, Ben Reilly is a Spider-Man clone who eventually adopts the superhero identity Scarlet Spider. His name combines the first name of Peter Parker's Uncle Ben with the maiden name of Aunt May. Kaine Parker is an earlier, physically flawed clone of Peter Parker.

The original Clone Saga is known for one of its most controversial story developments: Ben Reilly was temporarily revealed to be the "real" Spider-Man, while Peter Parker was identified as the clone. The storyline was later reversed following a strong backlash from readers.

The new series is part of a broader agreement between Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television to develop multiple television projects based on Sony's Marvel-related intellectual property. The slate is primarily focused on characters connected to the Spider-Man universe.

Like Spider-Noir, the proposed series is expected to receive a linear debut on Amazon's MGM+ before becoming available to stream on Prime Video.

Amy Pascal, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who oversee Sony's Spider-Man television universe and executive produced Spider-Noir, are expected to executive produce the new series alongside Yu.

VisionQuest Premiere Date Announced

Wed, 13 May 2026 13:16:27 +0000

Marvel Television's upcoming Disney+ streaming series VisionQuest will premiere on Wednesday, October 14. The premiere date was announced by lead actor Paul Bettany during Disney's 2026 Upfronts presentation in New York City.

Marvel officially considers the 8-episode series to be the concluding chapter of a television trilogy that began with WandaVision and continued with Agatha All Along.

The series is spearheaded by showrunner Terry Matalas (Star Trek: Picard). Alongside Bettany, James Spader is reprising his role as the voice of Ultron. The series will also introduce a grown-up version of Vision's son, Tommy (played by Ruaridh Mollica). Other confirmed cast includes Emily Hampshire, T'Nia Miller, Todd Stashwick, James D'Arcy, and Orla Brady.
