The world fell in love again with Skottie Young during the Marvel NOW! renumbering over the last two years. Skottie Young’s baby variant covers featuring chibi like baby characters from all over the Marvel Universe were so popular, shops couldn’t keep them on the shelves. They were so popular that Marvel included several promotional prints that retailers could give out to customers. I have a few of the baby variants myself but the book I’m the happiest with is the Skottie Young variant to “The Superior Spider-man”. Much to my delight Young is not only the writer and artist of the upcoming Rocket Raccoon book but he is also going to reprise his popular variant covers at Marvel as well. This time though, it will be for the highly anticipated “Spider-Verse” series.
The “Spider-Verse”, as it is currently known, will feature just about every iteration of Spider-Man put into print or animation. The variants will span across Marvel’s Spiderman titles and will start with a return of Spock in “Superior Spider-Man” #32 this August. That book will be soon followed up by “Amazing Spider-Man #9 in November where the first chapter in the “Spider-Verse” event begins. For more news on Skottie Young’s Rocket Raccoon, check out our coverage of the even here. If you’re interested in what this “Spider-Verse” is you can get a better idea of that over here. Before you go off to read those articles though, check out the full preview art from Marvel Entertainment below. Don’t forget to name as many of the Spidey’s as you can in the comments.
