Marvel has announced final details of its May Insert program, which will encompass every comic the publisher will release that month to sample the additional readers that are expected to pick up comics as a result of the Spider-Man movie. Each week half the books will carry a new Spider-Man insert and half will include five pages from The Call, a new series being developed with THQ Games (see 'More Marvel Videogames On Tap'). The five Spider-Man inserts are composed of a 3-part Spider-Man and Jay Leno story by Ron Zimmerman and Greg Capullo and a 2-part Spider-Man You Can Call Me Al by Zimmerman and Al Rio. The Lardneresque You Can Call Me Al leads into June's Spider-Man: Get Kraven mini-series.
Chuck Austen and artist David Finch are responsible for the five-part introduction to The Call, which will be included in all the books that don't have the Spider-Man inserts. Here's the final list detailing which title gets which insert:
