Marvel has announced a new ongoing Spider-Man 2099 series, which will be written by Peter David, who wrote most of the issues of the original series back in the 90s. It will feature art by Will Sliney (Superior Spider-Man Team-Up), with cover art by Simone Bianchi (Wolverine Vol. 3, Uncanny X-Force: Fear Itself).
The series will launch in July, and will pick up in the present day after the events in Superior Spider-Man, which brought back the Spider-Man 2099 character. Miguel O’Hara is stuck in the year 2014, and is working undercover in the employ of mega-corp Alchemax, hoping to change the future and prevent the rise of one of his greatest foes.
Although a number of the original 2099 series, including Spider-Man 2099, were well-crafted and sold well for a time, the 2099 universe was symptomatic of Marvel’s push at the time to increase the number of titles it published, which eventually exceeded the ability of the market to support them. The return of the characters and universe appears to be handled more carefully this time around, but it still makes our Spidey sense tingle when Marvel begins publishing books that appeared at times of glut in the past.
