Neither, for that matter, should Sajani Jaffrey, who Peter shouldn’t meet until he started working for Horizon Labs at the beginning of Dan Slott’s run on Amazing Spider-Man. If Spidey is telling stories of the Peter Parker of Earth-616 (the main Marvel universe), then they should not be at Midtown High with him. In the original Stan Lee/Steve Ditko run, Peter met Harry Osborn and Gwen Stacy on his first day of college at Empire State University. And that’s not to mention the “all-ages” series and one-shots Marvel has put out over the years, including Marvel Adventures Spider-Man and the perplexingly named Marvel Universe Ultimate Spider-Man…īut, while it’s great to see so many familiar faces, they don’t mesh up with the promise that Spidey is telling in-continuity stories.
We’ve even seen the specific premise of Spidey before: Kurt Busiek and Pat Olliffe’s Untold Tales of Spider-Man also told in-continuity stories from Spider-Man’s early days. After all, retelling Spider-Man’s early adventures to make them accessible to new readers was the original point of Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley’s Ultimate Spider-Man. If you’re asking yourself if the world really needs another “Peter Parker in high school” book, I can’t entirely blame you. Even more surprising is that Spidey is targeted simultaneously at both kids and adults-it is meant to be genuinely all-ages, instead of “all-ages” (i.e., strictly for kids), as evidenced by the caliber of the talent on the book.
One of the more surprising titles in the All-New All-Different Marvel relaunch is Spidey, an in-continuity series set during Peter Parker’s early days as Spider-Man, written by Robbie Thompson, art by Nick Bradshaw, colors by Jim Campbell, and lettering by Travis Lanham.
