NYCC 2026: Marvel’s Spider Web Expands in 2027 with Spider-Punk, Spider-Man: Noir, Marvel SFX: Thwip, and more!

Posted on by Leave a comment

The web of Spider-Man and his allies continues to expand across the Marvel Universe! New comic series for Spider-Punk and Spider-Man: Noir, a new anthology series Marvel SFX: Thwip and a teaser for an upcoming Amazing Spider-Man/Miles Morales: Spider-Man crossover were revealed to fans during the jam-packed Marvel Comics: The Spider-Web panel at New York Comic Con on Saturday.

SPIDER-PUNK’S GOING SOLO!
The Spider-Band is MISSING, and Hobie Brown’s in L.A. to unravel the mystery of what happened to his friends. But he’ll have to confront his inner demons along the way, and those of a new adversary — MZ. NEGATIVE! And if that weren’t enough, she’s teamed up with SCORPION to be the ultimate thorn in Hobie’s side. It’s more musical magic with your favorite rock ’n’ roll Spider-fam!

The new titles will start to kick off in January as readers thrill at the return of Hobie Brown aka Spider-Punk with writer Cody Ziglar and artist Justin Mason reuniting alongside cover artist Taurin Clarke. Spider-Punk #1 will introduce Mz. Negative, a new adversary for Hobie as he searches for the missing members of his band in a rock ‘n’ roll mystery adventure. The first issue features variant covers by Olivier Coipel, Jerome Opena, Simone Di Meo, and Justin Mason.

READY, SET, THWIP!
One of comics’ best innovations is the visual sound effect, and the House of Ideas is celebrating the best of all SFX with our new anthology THWIP! Some of comics’ best creators alongside luminaries from outside the field bring their Thiwpiest stories to bear!

A bold new anthology series with a focus on the iconic sound effects from Marvel Comics begins in January with Marvel SFX: Thwip #1, featuring stories by Jed MacKay, multi-Bram Stoker Award and Nebula Award winning author Stephen Graham Jones, and Rainbow Rowell with art from artists Alessandro Cappuccio, Lucas Werneck, and more. Future issues will feature creators including Eric Zawadski, Simone Di Meo, and many more, with additional Marvel SFX series to follow. The first issue features covers by Alessandro Cappullio and Mark Chiarello.

VENOM JOINS THE NOIR UNIVERSE!
Just as life seems to be going Peter Parker’s way, a new foe threatens to engulf him in total darkness—literally! As he untangles the mystery of what happened to his new girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend (it’s fine, we’re fine, everything’s FINE), Peter will have to choose between the allure of infinite power or catching a murderer…and his choice may cost him everything.

In February, an all-new Spider-Man: Noir series from writer Alex Segura and artist Farid Karami, finds Peter Parker caught up in an investigation involving a mysterious underworld artefact, his new girlfriend’s ex, and…VENOM NOIR?! Spider-Man: Noir #1 features a main cover by Stephen Mooney.

Teased at the end of the panel with a stunning promotional image by artist Ryan Stegman, the “Crisis of Faith” crossover slated for 2027 from Miles Morales: Spider-Man writer Bryan Hill and Amazing Spider-Man writer Joe Kelly is set to drastically alter the trust and relationship between the two Spider-Men and their allies, with more details to be revealed in the months ahead.

Two of a Kind! Gambit Trades Hands with his Age of Apocalypse Counterpart in Gambit: Gone!

Posted on by

When X-Men of Apocalypse: Omega #1 hit stands earlier this month, readers were startled to learn that one of the Age of Apocalypse X-Men’s trip to the main Marvel Universe had only just begun! Jeph Loeb and Simone Di Meo’s epic anniversary series ended with the Gambit of Age of Apocalypse swapping places with his 616 counterpart. Now, the story continues in the previously announced Gambit: Gone limited series by Steve Orlando, Edoardo Audino, and Gerado Sandoval, hitting stands next month. The saga follows the dual journeys of the two Gambits with Audino handling the Age of Apocalypse Gambit’s quest in the 616, while Sandoval catches up with our Gambit in the dystopian Age of Apocalypse.

Two worlds. Two Gambits. Two quests. One for redemption…and one for personal gain. In two intertwined tales, Remy LeBeau will face his demons… and the demons of all mutantkind… in an adventure that pushes the limits of the reformed Gambit to their breaking point. What kind of hero will emerge? And face-to-face with different versions of the woman they love—what kind of husband will he prove to be?

Check out all four covers from Simone Di Meo, ACO, Russell Dauterman, and Meghan Hetrick along with a never-before-seen first look and preorder Gambit: Gone #1 at your local comic shop today! The first issue comes to shops September 23.
