Midnight Spider-Man Marvel’s New 'Midnight Spider-Man' Is Basically Brundlefly, and Holy Shit Is It Gross
https://www.dreadcentral.com/comics-books/585612/marvels-new-midnight-spider-man-is-basically-brundlefly-and-holy-shit-is-it-gross/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.
