The mash-up of characters with Spider-Man is another example of what's become a very popular creative aไnd marketing conceit for Marvel Comics.🧸 

Mixing and matching heroes and villains with another has become a go-to practice, with the current limited series featuring a mash-up of Doctor Octopus and three-quarters of Marvel's '澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:New Fantastic Four' line-up of Ghost Rider, Wolverine, the Hulk, and Punisher, and limited series starring Spider-Gwen and Miles Morales - 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Spider-Gwen: Gwen-Verse and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:What if...Miles Morales, respectivelꦬy, that mash their characters up with other ꩵMarvel heroes. 

And then there is the new ongoing series that includes Multiversal character🌄 mash-ups like Tony Stark the Invincible Ant-Man. 

Lookꦇ for Marvel's full April 2022 solicitations later this week. 

Peter Parker AKA Spider-Man was of course the most popular new character Marvel Comics introduced in a storied 1962, with included the debuts of the Hulk, Doctor Doom, Thor, and Ant-Man-Henry Pym.

Wow.

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 offe🐼ring my perspective on important industry events and developments 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.
