Marvel Comics has revealed season two of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man will receive a four-issue prequel comic ahead of its premiere next year. Writer Christos Gage and artist Eric Gapstur, who previously teamed up on the prequel for the first season of the animated Disney+ series in 2024, will reunite for this installment, which picks up after the finale, when Norman Osborn (voiced by Colman Domingo) obtained a sample of a symbiote.
The full synopsis says, “Your favorite web-slinger is back! Peter Parker is ready to save the world thwip by thwip! But things aren’t perfect. He’s been drifting away from his friends. And Norman Osborn may be out of the spider business, but Harry doesn’t think things are over just yet. Something’s happening at Oscorp, and Spidey and his friends need to figure out what it is!”
Gage comments, “I’m beyond excited to return to the world of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man! Just like last time, showrunner Jeff Trammell has been incredibly generous about coordinating in a way that makes our story a firm part of the show’s continuity.”
He adds, “Best of all, Eric Gapstur returns on art, and while he was great before, he’s leveled up… wait until you see his work on Spidey, Daredevil, and classic Spider-Man villains finally making their debut here… whoops, spoiler! It’s a real pleasure to be a part of this take on Spidey that combines the feel of the Silver Age with new and exciting characters and situations. I hope I get to do it again next year!”
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man premiered in 2025, and is set in an alternate version of the MCU where Norman Osborn became Peter (Hudson Thames)’s mentor instead of Tony Stark/Iron Man. The second season is set to add Spectacular Spider-Man star Josh Keaton as Eddie Brock/Venom, and an unannounced cast member as Gwen Stacy/Ghost-Spider.
Issue #1 of season two’s prequel will be released on December 9, with a main cover by concept artist Leonardo Romero, and variants respectively by Luciano Vecchio, an unannounced contributor, and David Baldeón. You can check out Vecchio’s artwork below in the meantime. Season two of the show itself (which has already been renewed for a third season) will premiere in January 2027.
