What if Your Comic Book Had a HUD? Spider-Man: City at War #1 Preview

Published Mon, 18 Mar 2019 17:30:02 -0500

Spider-Man: City at War is a much-needed additional Spider-Comic in this abysmal wasteland of not nearly enough Spider-Man comics. It's also a comic based on a video game based on a comic, part of one of our favorite comics strategies, the snake eating its own tail. To tie it closely together with its video-game roots, the comic appears to have integrated a HUD for notifications Spider-Man is getting during the story.

It's a device which… is probably going to get annoying, fast.

Okay, it's already annoying. Sorry, but notifications are annoying enough in real life! Comics should be about escapism. What we're trying to say, is… get the notifications out of our comics!

Spider-Man: City at War #1 hits stores on Wednesday.
