But inevitably his Parker luck spoils things, even as Spider-Man.
Thats the fun of Spider-Man, youre playing with the outside perception of two characters.
What are your favorite Spider-Man stories?
The mystery of the Hobgoblin hooked me as a kid.
I also loved the stories that made you feel like Spidey was up against impossible odds.
Adam Kubert is obviously a legend.
What excites you about working with him on this book?Its crazy!
I cant believe Im getting to work with someone so synonymous with superhero comics.
Spider-Man obviously has a long, complex mythology.
Im also introducing Rebecca London, a recent transplant to NYC looking to have a career in stand-up comedy.
Marvel is thrilled with me that shes (sigh) age appropriate.
The book sounds almost like a back to basics approach for Spider-Man.
Hes the only street-level superhero who could beat a herald of Galactus in a fight.
He feels things stronger than any other hero and covers that up with jokes.
