As a seasoned gamer and comic book enthusiast with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the upcoming animated series “Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man” is shaping up to be a masterpiece. The prequel comics are a delightful addition to the lore, offering a fresh take on Peter Parker’s earliest adventures.
In “Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man”, Spider-Man can create webs of any size and catches criminals as easily as one traps flies. Before Marvel Animation’s upcoming animated series premieres on Disney+ on January 29, a prequel comic based on the MCU-inspired show will be released by Marvel Comics. This comic follows Peter Parker, a high school freshman voiced by Hudson Thames, as he begins his journey to become Spider-Man. Unlike any other journey we’ve seen before, this story pays tribute to the character’s early comic book origins.
Diving into the latest issue #3 of “Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man” (one of five), I find myself facing off against a plethora of foes from my early days as the web-slinging hero. Characters like the cunning trio, the Enforcers, make their appearance in this issue. These three hired thugs – the skilled martial artist Fancy Dan, Montana with his lasso, and the brutish Ox – were initially under the command of the infamous crime boss known as the Big Man, way back in 1963’s “The Amazing Spider-Man” #10. Interestingly, it was Norman Osborn, the voice of Colman Domingo, who later enlisted them to aid him during his debut as a costumed villain (in “Amazing Spider-Man” #14), after other mercenaries like Scorcher and Headsman failed in their attempts to take me down (in “Untold Tales of Spider-Man”).
In various comic book series like “Amazing Spider-Man” (issue 19 from 1964) and “Marvel Team-Up” (#138), we see that the Enforcers initially worked for a character known as Sandman. However, later on, this villain reformed and joined forces with Spider-Man to combat a new group of Enforcers. Over time, they have also been hired by figures such as Techmaster, Lightmaster, and the notorious crime boss Wilson Fisk, who is infamously known as the Kingpin.
Christos Gage, who’s penned numerous Spider-Man tales across comics and games, shared that he’s yet to narrate his early escapades. The intriguing aspect of this upcoming five-issue comic series is its fresh perspective on those critical stages. Although this is still Peter Parker, our beloved Spidey, he has a unique set of sidekicks – among them, Nico Minoru, a character you might recognize from the Runaways. Additionally, it offers some unexpected turns!
