Spider-Boy, the sensational "new" sidekick of Spider-Man, is Marvel’s most exciting new hero!

Spider-Boy may be able to run from Mister Negative, but he can’t run from his past! Just kidding: He can’t run from either! More than one old foe is back to absolutely wreck Bailey’s life, and he and the Amazing Spider-Man are about to be tested like never before! Spidey’s one rule for Spider-Boy is that he can’t face any A-list villains on his own — but nobody told Mister Negative that! And he — and his deadly Inner Demons — need something that our junior wall-crawler has! Uh-oh! Plus: Boy-Spider steals the spotlight! He could never replace Spider-Boy, but maybe Briggs Bailey could replace Bailey Briggs! And get ready for the historic first meeting between Spider-Boy and Kidpool! Can the Adolescent-Arachnid keep the Murderous Middle-Grader from causing the return of the Comics Code? 

COLLECTING: Spider-Boy (2023) 17-20, Kidpool/Spider-Boy (2024) 1
Dan Slott has built a loyal fan base by combining old-school fun with stories and characterizations friendly to new readers. Following his run on She-Hulk, Slott moved into the upper echelon of Marvel writers, launching Avengers: The Initiative and taking the reins on Mighty Avengers from Brian Michael Bendis. When Marvel gave Spider-Man a fresh start in 2008, Slott was one of several rotating writers on the thrice-monthly Amazing Spider-Man. Slott became the writer most closely identified with the web-slinger’s “Brand New Day” era, and the title hit the “Big Time” when he took over as full-time writer for a decade-long run. Slott has also turned his talents to other iconic Marvel heroes — including soaring the spaceways with Silver Surfer; helming Tony Stark: Iron Man toward Iron Man 2020; and masterminding the glorious return of Fantastic Four, leading to his long-awaited “Reckoning War.” In 2022, Slott made his way back to the Spider-Verse, teaming with legendary penciler Mark Bagley on Spider-Man.

Christopher Yost got his start in animation writing for the series X-Men: Evolution; he quickly worked his way up to head writer of shows like Fantastic Four: World’s Greatest Heroes, Iron Man: Armored Adventures and Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, and the animated DVDs Hulk Vs. and Next Avengers. Yost broke into comics with his work on X-23 and is known for hard-hitting series like New X-Men, X-Force and the runaway hit Scarlet Spider.

Paco Medina has illustrated a range of Marvel Comics — including New X-Men: Academy X, Captain Marvel, Thor, Venom, Marvel Team-Up, New Mutants and New Warriors, as well as relaunches of Deadpool and X-Men. Firmly established as a Marvel mainstay, Medina has enjoyed lengthy runs on Ultimate Comics X-Men, Nova and Legendary Star-Lord, as well as a major role in the Avengers storyline “No Surrender.”
