Spider-Man fans received terrific news today as Marvel confirmed that there will be a new Spider-Man 2099 comic coming to shelves this July!

In 1992 Marvel had a successful comic with Spider-Man 2099 as fans loved to take a glimpse into the future of the Marvel Universe. In the year 2099 it was the character of Miguel O'Hara who was web slinging through the futuristic city and capturing the attention of fans. 


The truly exciting new is that the original creator of the character, Peter David, has agreed to return to team up with artist Will Sliney and Simone Bianchi (who will be doing the cover for the book).

Last year, the character of Miguel O'Hara returned to comics in Superior Spider-Man but in the present day. When O'Hara returns to his own comic he is going to be looking to try and fix his broken future by influencing the present day, aka his past.

"In the original Spider-Man 2099 series set in the far-flung future year of 2099 (of course), the world was at the mercy of a tyrannical mega-corporation known as Alchemax, headed up by Tyler Stone – O’Hara’s father, and Tiberius’s son.

"Miguel is going to be endeavoring to reform Tiberius Stone; to make him into someone who cares about other people and might actually do a better job of raising Tyler Stone and thus make Miguel's life easier,” David reveals, picking up on stories he established back in 1992’s original series. “Not to mention that he will try to exert influence over what sort of company Alchemax develops into."
