Marvel's Spider-Man faces the return of the Sinister Six this June (as well as a lot of vampires, and a brand new Goblin, to boot!)
This summer, Peter Parker (and friends) can't catch a break
Popverse's top stories of the day
- Hannibal wouldn't be a fan of Chicago's local food scene, according to Mads Mikkelsen (but, then again, he's a cannibal)
- Watch: Artist's Alley Asks: Superman or Fantastic Four? Gene Ha, Cully Hamner, Jarrett Melendez, Rachael Stott, Soo Lee, and Tim Seeley weigh in on their cinematic preference
- Brandon Sanderson tried (very hard) to change one character arc on the Wheel of Time show
The start of summer brings with it the end of the X-Men’s Krakoa era, a lot more Blood Hunting (including a vampire Hulk?!?), the arrival of a familiar face to the Ultimate X-Men, War Machine having had too much (finally!), and far far more — including Skottie Young returning for a new variant line at the publisher, and a special line of Pride Month-themed covers, to boot. Really, June is a very, very busy month at Marvel — and that’s even before we get to the Dazzler Omnibus collection.
When it comes to what Peter Parker and his amazing friends are getting up to, the answer is... certainly not anything close to taking a break. Both Peter and Miles Morales are taking part in this summer's big Blood Hunt storyline, but that's not enough for Mr. Parker: he's also got the return of the Sinister Six and a brand new Goblin to deal with... one so spooky that Marvel can't even share what he looks like just yet! (Oh, and the Venomverse is back, as well.)
Read on to find out everything happening in Marvel's Spider-Man titles this June.
