Oh God, what the Hell is Marvel thinking? (thanks NHDJ1) They’re redesigning the Spidey costume, and from what it sounds like they’re hinting at, the Scarlet Spider will make a return visit. This is why I don’t really read comics anymore.
Word has been building for months now, and comic fans have been dying to know- what is Spider-Man’s new costume?! Well, folks, here it is! Recognize the color scheme? You should, it’s playing an important role in the future of the web-slinger!
After the shocking events in “The Other” storyline, Peter recieves this new costume to help him adjust to his newest developments, as well as giving him some added muscle! Designed by Marvel Editor-In-Chief Joe Quesada, this new design has a few tricks up its sleeve. “The Iron Spider design- as I like to call it- came to me during a Spider-Man story meeting we were having, we were talking and I was involuntarily sketching on a pad. It’s inspired by a sketch that Chris Bachalo did that showed a new Spidey costume with . I thought that was brilliant, especially since it echoed one of Spidey’s greatest villains, and I took the idea and imagined it as though seeing it through the eyes of Tony Stark. The sky’s the limit with respect to gadgetry when it comes to Tony inspired costumes.”
Every couple of years, I poke my head back into comics to see if it’s safe to get back in the water.
See you in 2008, Marvel.
