Solicit Synopsis
The stars of two of Marvel’s biggest series come together in their first ongoing series ever!
That’s right, Peter Parker and Miles Morales are going to team up on the regular, comparing notes and using said notes to take on some of their most dangerous bad guys. This duo is better than dynamic, amazing, sensational, superior…they’re SPECTACULAR! And with GREG WEISMAN, writer of the fan-favorite animated Spectacular Spider-Man series, returning to Spidey along with Spider-Legend HUMBERTO RAMOS, you know it’s going to be epic.Notes
- Two trailers were released by Marvel on YouTube to promote this issue:
Spectacular Spider-Men - Offical Trailer - Marvel Comics
Spectacular Spider-Men -1 - Official Trailer - Marvel Comics
Trivia
- Peter jokes that it feels like he's "been at it for sixty years". His first appearance, Amazing Fantasy #15, had been released almost 62 years earlier at this point.
- Miles makes a similar joke, saying it feels like he's "been racing to homeroom for a decade". He started High School in Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1, released 12 years before this issue.
- Miles mentions he's "seeing someone". He's referring to Tiana Toomes, with whom he's been romantically involved since Miles Morales: Spider-Man #22.
- The workers at the Coffee Bean are Kenny Kong and Shelly Conklin, both of whom were introduced (and last seen) in Starbrand & Nightmask, also written by Greg Weisman. They have since started dating.
- Sha Shan Nguyen dated Flash Thompson from Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man #19 until Amazing Spider-Man #275. The two reunited when she became his physical therapist in Amazing Spider-Man #622, but the two have not been seen together since his previous death in Amazing Spider-Man #800.
- Professor Warren's full name is revealed to be Raymond Aaron Warren. When the character was previously adapted in the Spectacular Spider-Man, which was created by Weisman, he was named Aaron Warren.
