Marvel Comics has released a new official trailer for Greg Weisman and Humberto Ramos‘ upcoming Spectacular Spider-Men series.
Spectacular Spider-Men launches early this coming March. Written by Weisman and illustrated by Ramos, the new ongoing series stars both the Peter Parker and Miles Morales incarnations of Spider-Man. In the new trailer, Peter promises Miles that the two will start hanging out more — not as superheroes, but as normal friends. However, he’s forced to go back on this promise when the two find themselves in a battle with the villainous Jackal.

An official synopsis for Spectacular Spider-Men #1 reads as follows: “The stars of two of Marvel‘s biggest series come together in their first ongoing series ever! That’s right, Peter Parker and Miles Morales are going to team up on the regular, comparing notes and using said notes to take on some of their most dangerous bad guys. This duo is better than dynamic, amazing, sensational, superior … they’re SPECTACULAR! And with GREG WEISMAN, writer of the fan-favorite animated Spectacular Spider-Man series, returning to Spidey along with Spider-Legend HUMBERTO RAMOS, you know it’s going to be epic.”

“I’m so thrilled to be writing Spidey again, and the fact that I get to write both Spideys, together, makes the gig doubly sweet,” Weisman said when Marvel announced the series back in November. “It’s fun for me, because in this book, I see the younger Miles trying really hard to show his maturity to his mentor Peter, while the older Pete feels free to let out his inner 16-year-old with Miles. So there’s a bit of role reversal to the normal mentor-protege relationship than one might expect to see.”
The writer continued, “But I think both Pete and Miles still feel very true to character … And when things get serious, so do our boys (quippage notwithstanding). What we’re seeing here is the evolution from mentor and protegee to them simply being good friends. And that change of status (in process, as it is) really interests me as a writer. Oh, and Humberto’s art is so damn gorgeous.”
“From a very young age, my goal was to draw Spider-Man for Marvel Comics, and now that it has become a recurring reality in my life, I enjoy every occasion in which I am called to do so, or as I like to say ‘come back home,’ and I could not ask for a better way to do that than alongside Greg Weisman, who gave us the greatest Spider-Man TV series!” Ramos added. “Not only that, but in this book, I not only have the joy of drawing not one but two Spider-Mans. Drawing Peter’s adventures was exciting enough, I can only imagine how it will be drawing both Peter and Miles’ adventures! I love my job!”
Spectacular Spider-Men #1 goes on sale Wednesday, March 6 from Marvel Comics.
