Get ready for an exciting new adventure in the Marvel Universe! Marvel Comics has just released a thrilling first-look preview for Dan Slott and Paco Medina’s Spider-Boy #1. This highly anticipated comic kicks off Bailey Briggs’ first solo series, and it’s set to hit the shelves early this coming November.
In this exclusive preview, Marvel gives us a glimpse of four unlettered pages from Spider-Boy #1. Brace yourself for epic battles as Bailey Briggs, also known as Spider-Boy, teams up with his mentor, Peter Parker, a.k.a. Spider-Man, to take on a formidable new villain named Gutterball. It seems Gutterball wasn’t too happy that the name “Kingpin” was already taken!
But that’s not all! Marvel has also unveiled all the different covers that will accompany Spider-Boy’s debut issue. Feast your eyes on the stunning artwork, including the newly-revealed foil variant cover by the talented Kaare Andrews.
And the excitement doesn’t stop there! Additional alternate covers include variants by Chris Campana, David Aja, Skottie Young, John Tyler Christopher’s “Negative Space” variant, and Luciano Vecchio’s homage variant paying tribute to the iconic cover art of Amazing Spider-Man #1.
Spider-Boy #1 features a captivating main cover by Humberto Ramos, which will also be available as a virgin variant.

What to expect from Marvel’s Spider-Boy
Prepare for a wild ride with Marvel’s Spider-Boy! This thrilling new series by Slott and Medina is a spin-off from their previous Spider-Man run, where they introduced Bailey Briggs as Peter Parker’s secret sidekick.
Slott shared his excitement about the new series, saying, “Spider-Man isn’t supposed to have a sidekick. That’s just wrong on so many levels. And that is exactly why we are going to have so much fun with this. Both this character — and this new title — are going to break all the rules. Bailey Briggs is going to have over-the-top adventures in the Spider-Man corner of the Marvel Universe. He’ll be facing off against a mix of both all-new villains and fan-favorite Spidey bad guys.”
But that’s not all! Slott promises that every story in Spider-Boy will take the weirdest and wildest swings, leaving readers asking, “What in the hell did I just read?!” and eagerly anticipating the next issue.
Mark your calendars! Spider-Boy #1 will be available for purchase on Wednesday, November 1 from Marvel Comics.
