Superior Spider-Week is in full swing.

Earlier today, Marvel announced another new spider-series that will launch (along with Superior Carnage and Superior Foes of Spider-Manthis July. This one’s called Superior Spider-Man Team-Ups. Written by Chris Yost, and drawn by David Lopez, Foes is set to replace the current regular title, Avenging Spider-Man (which makes sense… seeing as he won’t be a part of the Avengers much longer).

According to the press release, ‘team-up’ may not accurately describe what we’re set to see. The very first line of the series description states that “There’s only one thing that’s on the mind of the Superior Spider-Man when he encounters the heroes of the Marvel Universe–it’s how can he beat them?! First on his list? The Avengers!”

Sounds good to me. Check out the first issue’s cover (featuring art by Paolo Rivera) below, and let us know what you think of the announcement!

There’s only one thing that’s on the mind of the Superior Spider-Man when he encounters the heroes of the Marvel Universe–it’s how can he beat them?! First on his list? The Avengers!

This July, Superior Spider-Month turns it up a notch as Yost and Lopez let loose in SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN TEAM-UP #1!“SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN TEAM-UP #1 takes fans across the entire Marvel Universe and pits Superior Spider-Man against heroes and foes you wouldn’t necessarily think he’d rub shoulders with,” explains Stephen Wacker, Senior Editor, Marvel Entertainment. “More and more people in the Marvel Universe are starting to sense a change in Spider-Man, and being able to see Chris put Spidey in those situations is going to have my inbox full of team-up requests! So stay strong Songbird fans!”

Marvel teased this event at Wondercon earlier this year but has kept pretty damn quiet about it up until yesterdays The Amazing Spider-Man panel at Comic-Con. This upcoming event will kick off with Minimum Carnage: Alpha this October and then run through Venom and Scarlet Spider. The story will see Carnage escape into the Micro-verse, as the two heroes pursue him. Cullen Bunn and Chris Yost will handle writing duties in the prologue before the story moves into the two titles.

“Carnage is the worst case scenario for both Venom and Scarlet Spider,” Bunn said. “For Kane, it’s all about how terrible a killer can be. And for Venom, it’s how terrible a symbiote can be. This is a situation for various reasons that only Venom and Scarlet Spider can deal with Carnage…it isn’t a thing where Peter Parker can swing in and save them.”

If you haven’t been reading Venom or Scarlet Spider you should be. These are both awesome titles and I am really looking forward to see where they go with this crossover event.
