Spider-Man Free Comic Book Day Makes Ben Reilly The Real Spider-Man

Published Sat, 14 Aug 2021 09:27:10 -0500

The Spider-Man/Venom Free Comic Book Day comic book arrives in comic book stores today for Free Comic Book Day, August 14th. We looked at it before and we can afford to be slightly more spoilery now.

The featured Spider-Man in a story called "Test-Drive" by Zeb Wells and Patrick Gleason, has a new look costume, but it also has new abilities, courtesy of the Beyond Corporation.

Takes more of a battering than Spider-Man's usual costume which may make him bulletproof in the right circumstances. Because sometimes you need to do more than dodge bullets with Spider-sense, you need to stop them.

Especially, as Spider-Man says, when that dude has guns for hands. How Random. But it's not Random. it's Bushwacker.

And as teased, it's not even Peter Parker, but the return of his clone.

Once upon a time, Ben Reilly was to take over from Peter Parker in the Marvel Universe to give us a single Spider-Man, no longer married to Mary Jane. Eventually, Marvel went for a supernatural option instead, erasing the marriage from reality courtesy of the devil Mephisto. In the current comic books, however, Peter Parker has been getting closer to popping the question again, and Mephisto is returning, courtesy of Kindred and Harry Osborne. Could Ben Reilly taking over from Peter Parker suggesting that Peter is retiring with Mary Jane as originally planned? Maybe not…

Looks like both are in operation., As well as Miles Morales' Spider-Man or course. And Miles Morales' own clone. Man, there are a lot of Spider-Men around right now. FCBD 2021 Spider-Man/Venom will be available as part of Free Comic Book Day, today, the 14th of August. Odds are your comic shop will have a copy or two.
