Marvel’s favorite webslinger stars in the first of three new series in the revived Marvel Knights imprint.
Marvel Knights: Spider-Man #1 The Amazing Spidey takes on 99 of his deadliest foes in a tale by Matt Kindt and Marco Rudy.
The writer takes the hero way out of his element and confirmed Arcade, Nuke and Kraven the Hunter will appear in the series.
“Once you take Spider-Man out of New York, you can’t really have him swing around,” Kindt told Marvel.com. “Put him in a desert, how do his powers work? What advantages does he have? That was part of the fun. Stick him underwater in a submarine, what can he do? Trying to think of scenarios we might not have seen before. We’ve all read 1000 Spider-Man stories, so I wanted to come up with something a little different.”
“I was just trying to think of his psychology and how his powers work,” he explains. “One of the things that I thought was kind of fun is his Spider Sense. It goes off whenever he’s in danger. Well, what if he’s in danger for a week straight? What does that do? What kind of toll does it take on him? What happens if he’s under constant duress for a week straight?”
The Marvel Knights: X-Men, Hulk are on the way. Marvel Knights: Spider-Men #1 (of 5) arrives Wednesday.
