Spiderman underwent a radical transformation at the beginning of the year.
As the saying goes, new year, new life. And, although it is not always true, for the followers of Spider-Man in Spain, it could not be more true, because fate allowed that, although it was published a little earlier in America, in our country number 22 (231) of The Amazing Spider-Man ( (The Amazing Spider-Man, with scripts by Zeb Wells and illustrations by Patrick Gleason) will be published in January 2024, corresponding to the 33rd and 34th American collections.
In question, in this comic, Peter Parker’s alternate friendly neighbor decided to stop being Spiderman, although we will examine it below, even if you are not up to date with the adventures of this character and do not want to eat him. , no spoilers, you probably shouldn’t continue reading this article.
We know that Kraven’s son, who was intended for Norman Osborn, was speared by Spider-Man, but we don’t know how far this new Spiderman can go. However, the beginning of this new year made it clear to us.
The plot in the said comic has a clear similarity to the Spider-Man saga known as Kraven’s Last Hunt, since the return of the black suit of the spider-hero, as shown in the image below this paragraph. (That’s why, in our country, the adventure is called Spiderman’s Last Hunt).
In addition to burying alive Sergei Kravinoff’s son, who was spared that fate thanks to Norman Osborn’s timely intervention, the new version of the Spider-Man also performed unthinkable feats like cutting tombstones from the machines. Either he’s alive or he beat the aforementioned Norman. Additionally, his plans include dropping Otto Octavius into a nuclear reactor and having Eddie Brock eat his own brain. This all happened after he threw Mary Jane’s boyfriend, Paul, off the top of a bridge.
However, at the same time that Norman Osborn saves Kraven’s son’s life, Spider-Man gets a less-than-favorable visit from the Goblin Queen, so things may get even more complicated before the waters return to normal. . We all think that sooner or later, Peter Parker will return to his normal self, just like what happened with Norman Osborn, but until that happens, we all think that Spider-Man is going into the great darkness of the unknown inside him. whole life..
However, this was not enough. 2024 also brought us the Spaniards the return of Spiderman Superior, although it started at number zero, the seventh edition of the lost title called Spiderman (2023) occupies the second number. ) easily.
As all the regular readers of Wall Visitor will surely remember, in 2010 Between 2013 and 2014, one of the most important changes in the history of Spiderman, as we mentioned before, was the death of Otto Octavius. He was able to transfer his consciousness into the Spider’s super-powered body. As expected, things returned to their natural state, but this did not prevent, for thirty-four issues, directed by Dan Slott, the usual Peter Parker alias The Superior Spider-Man, the main characters will be distributed. Justice in its own special way.
The previously mentioned number zero, promises to bring back this distorted vision of Spider-Man, although we have yet to find it, Otto Octavius tells us an unpublished story from when he was Spider-Man, the result of which continues in the present, the Doctor sees the Octopus again usurping the identity of the hero. But obviously they weren’t going to open Masterhead with that title if they weren’t going to bring him back into action.
Therefore, between the events of both titles, there is no doubt that Spiderman 2024 began in an unprecedented way and in a way that no reader of the character could have predicted. Although it is clear that all this will end sooner or later, one thing that cannot be denied is that the formula is available, even after many years, it can surprise readers with a good creative team. So, like it or not, there is nothing friendly about the current neighbor Spiderman.
