A big web of Spider-Man announcements at the final day of New York Comic Con. The biggest is that two of Peter Parker’s greatest foes will face each other!
Superior Spider-Man Annual is coming in November by Christos Gage where Aunt May sees a darker side of this Spider-Man.
“The things that happen in this annual count. Stuff that happens in this annual will lead into the next big Spider-Man story.” said writer Dan Slott.
It’s been a year since Otto Octavius became the new web-slinger.
“We’re celebrating the 1 year anniversary of the death of Peter Parker with some special point ones.” said Editor Stephen Wacker and unveiled new art for the issues, Amazing Spider-Man #700.1-5 coming in December.
“The End is leading directly into Superior Spider-Man #27.NOW” says Editor Stephen Wacker about the new arc: Goblin Nation.
“Everything we’ve set up so far leads to this. Green Goblin on this side, Doc Ock’s Spider-Man on this side.” said writer Dan Slott.
“Something’s going to happen in Superior #26 and then we’ll come back a month later.”
In a later interview with Comic Book Resources Slott could hardly contain his excitement for the story and to remind fans the importance of this showdown:
“We’re heading toward the “Goblin Nation” story where we’ll see what happens now after the rise of Spider-Man’s greatest enemy, the Green Goblin and what happens with Otto Octavius, the Superior Spider-Man. Because let’s be honest. He’s fought characters like Cardiac, Screwball and Stunner. [Laughs] THIS IS THE GREEN GOBLIN! Has everything you’ve seen this so-called “Superior” Spider-Man do risen to the level of the Green Goblin?”
“It’s not just the Green Goblin either, though. It’s a Green Goblin who’s had 26 issues to plan and scheme [Laughs]; a Green Goblin who’s secretly the Kingpin of Crime in all of New York thanks to the Superior Spider-Man. Oh my! THIS IS IT!”
