2022 marked the 30th anniversary of Marvel's Spider-Man 2099 and the publisher revisited its alternate dꦜystopian far-future with Spider-Man 2099: Exodus, a nꦚew series by writer Steve Orlando that revisited and expanded on that world.

But it wasn't just a round number anniversary one-off, Orlando will return to 2099 in Spider-Man 2099: Dark Genesis, ﷺa f♍ive-issue weekly series in May that will force Miguel O'Hara to "defend his broken world from an overwhelming new threat!"

"It's great to be back to 2099 - and not just build on Exodus but also the past three incredible decades of pioneering, innovative cyberpunk work done in the world of 2099," Orlando says in Marཧvel's announcement. 

To help combat the threat, Spider-Man 2099 recruits a 🌳team of heroes including "redefined fan-favorites" like Punisher 🦹2099 and Daredevil 2099 and new characters like Blade 2099.

"As society be🐟gins to crumble, Spider-Man 2099 will need all the help he can get – but does the public even want his help? Or do they all just want to watch♐ this world burn?" reads Marvel's description. 

"I'm so 🔯excited to be back and to be working with Justin Mason," continued Orlando. "T🦄ogether, we've got even more 2099 classics coming your way, along with new debuts, of course! Earth-2099 is set for Carnage like none it's ever seen."

Spider-Man 2099: Dark Genesis #1 (of 5) goes on saleไ May 3 and continues weekly through May 31. Check out all five Bradshaw covers bel🍎ow.

I'm not just the Newsarama founder and editor-in-chief, I'm also a reader. And that reference is just a little bit older than the beginning of my Newsarama journey. I founded what would become the comic book news site in 1996, and except for a brief sojourn at Marvel Comics as its marketing and communications manager in 2003, I've been writing about new comic book titles, creative changes, and occasionally offering my perspective on important industry events and d⛄evelop🌞ments for the 25 years since. Despite many changes to Newsarama, my passion for the medium of comic books and the characters makes the last quarter-century (it's crazy to see that in writing) time spent doing what I love most.
