Free Comic Book Day is here, and Insomniac Games and Marvel are teaming up to give Spider-Man fans something special. They’re releasing a special comic book prequel to its upcoming title “Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.”
The original title and the Miles Morales follow-up are two of the finest Spidey games ever made. That’s partly because the storytelling was so good. The sequel will follow both superheroes and MJ Watson, who are all playable characters in the previous games.
The prequel comic is written by Christos Gage, who also worked on “Marvel’s Spider-Man,” and artist Ig Guara’s beautiful artwork graces the panels. In the PlayStation blog entry, narrative director Jon Paquette said the comic delves into a few themes such as the idea of magic, and the Spider-Men and MJ face off against a familiar villain.
“Marvel Snap” fans will know who he is. He’s a pretty good card in the game. Fans can pick up the comic at participating stores or download it digitally via the Marvel Unlimited app. If you do go, you should head over to Flying Colors in Concord. That’s where the whole idea for Free Comic Book Day originated. It’s owner Joe Field’s idea.
Interestingly enough, there’s a “Street Fighter 6” comic as well, starring Luke. I wrote about the upcoming fighting game this week.
