The DC Versus Marvel omnibuses released last year have been enormous hits, and it seems likely the upcoming Deadpool/Batman #1 and Batman/Deadpool #1 will do the same. So Marvel is keeping the hype train rolling with Spider-Boy #1 Facsimile Edition, reprinting the classic issue from the Amalgam crossover.
Written by Karl Kesel with art by Mike Wieringo, the one-shot was first published in 1996 by Amalgam Comics, a joint imprint from Marvel and DC that jammed together heroes…. In this case, Spider-Man and Superboy. The issue, per usual for facsimiles, will be represented in its original form, with ads and all.
You can check out the synopsis and cover below. Spider-Boy #1 Facsimile Edition will hit stores on October 1.
As iconic heroes of two worlds collide in the Amalgam Universe, get ready to meet Pete Ross – your friendly neighborhood clone known as Spider-Boy! Join the amazing Arach-Kid mid-fight as he protects Project Cadmus from the deranged D.N.Alien, Bizarnage! But even if he can solve that problem, big trouble lies ahead courtesy of a somehow giant-sized King Lizard! Can Spider-Boy bring his reptilian rogue down to size in time to meet the blind date lined up for him by his ally, Otto Octavius? Face it, tiger – you’re dying to find out!
