Questioning if it’s a kind of Mighty Marvel Coincidences that The Superb Spider-Man comedian e book collection at the moment options Peter Parker in space with a member of Warlock’s alien race, the Technarchy? After all not — as a result of, in Marvel Comics, there’s no such factor as coincidence… particularly on the subject of creators’ personal fandom.
“New Mutants was the primary ever comedian I purchased for myself,” Superb Spider-Man writer Joe Kelly revealed through the Spider-Man and his Venomous Buddies panel at New York Comedian Con 2025, speaking in regards to the collection the place Warlock (and the techno-organic Technarchy) was first launched, again in 1984’s New Mutants #18.
Warlock — a mutant amongst his technological race for his compassion and absence of want to kill in an effort to maintain his personal life, and due to this fact deserving of membership within the junior X-Men crew the collection centered round — was a common within the New Mutants collection by way of 1990’s New Mutants #90, at which level he apparently died. (It’s comics; he acquired higher years later.)
After all, the truth that Peter Parker is now sporting a go well with made from the Technarchy — a race that, as I stated above, must kill in an effort to maintain its personal existence — does counsel that issues is likely to be awaiting Spider-Man sooner fairly than later. No surprise that Kelly is teasing that a “wardrobe malfunction” is awaiting the hero in The Superb Spider-Man #15, due out November 5.
The query is likely to be, what are the percentages that we’ll get some extra New Mutants-related shout-outs, realizing Kelly’s personal fandom? The place’s Lila Chaney lately, anyway?
New York Comedian Con 2025 continues by way of Sunday, October 12.
