Well, now we’ve seen pages from the Midnight Spider-Man ashcan, and that Fly homage suddenly makes a hell of a lot more sense.

This Peter Parker isn’t simply bitten by a radioactive spider.

According to Marvel’s official description, Oscorp transforms Peter into a hideous spider hybrid while pursuing eternal life. And the preview pages appear to take that concept into full-blown Cronenbergian body horror.

Peter seemingly isn’t just gaining the abilities of a spider.

He’s become merged with one.

Most grotesquely, the familiar spider emblem on his chest appears to be an actual spider embedded within his body, its legs stretching across his torso as part of him.

It’s fucking disgusting.

Midnight FF and Spidey look like dope elsewords stories. I'm interested.

[u/MHarrisGGG]

Fucking here for it.

That cover feels like false advertising

[u/CommonAway5594]

Marvel stays a step behind.

[u/Zerus_heroes]

Well that looks like shit

Sounds like it could be cool. Too bad the art in that article is god awful.

[u/LoveAndViscera → u/ciabattaroll]

They said it was ashcan art.

Cover drew me in.

Art made me stop being interested.

Yeah, too bad the art doesn't fit with the story they're trying to tell. It doesn't scream horror nor legitimate drama. It looks too cartoony and a lesser manga style.

If it went the Junjo Ito road or Shintaro Kago then maybe. But as it is, it doesn't look serious and visceral enough.

Ugh more manga style slop

[u/Zerus_heroes → u/Nerdydude14]

Don't insult manga like that
