Marvel Comics announced today at an afternoon press conference that Zeb Wells and Joe Madureira will be collaborating on a new Spider-Man comic book series, Avenging Spider-Man that will debut in November.  Marvel editor Stephen Wacker noted that the impetus for the new series was a suggestion of doing another Marvel Team-Up book centering on Spidey, which he didn’t like, but he did like a subsequent pitch based on the idea of Spider-Man as a member of The Avengers, and Avenging Spider-Man was born.

 

The first story arc in Avenging Spider-Man will pit Spidey and the Red Hulk against the Moloids, and is currently slated to run for three issues.  Madureira noted that he loves drawing Moloids, and is salivating at the chance to draw Wolverine at some point in the future.  The second story arc hasn’t been chosen yet, but Wells did indicate that there was going to be “a Vulture story” in the not too distant future.
