Written by Reginald Hudlin
Penciled by Billy Tan
Cover by Steve McNiven
Hollywood heavyweight
Hudlin (House Party, Boomerang) has already brought
you his searing vision for Black Panther. Now he’s teaming up with
red-hot artist Billy Tan (X-23) to shake up everyone’s favorite
web-slinger. In part one of "Wild Blue Yonder," Peter
Parker’s life is turned upside down. He’s got an incredible new
pad (you won’t believe where), a new job, and — although he doesn’t
know it — a new nemesis who’s everything that Peter isn’t. But first,
Spider-Man’s got to deal with a more pressing problem — a shape-shifting
super-villain who’s developed a nasty habit…and will do anything
to feed it. And Wait — Who’s that hitting on Mary Jane!?
