A Spider-Man suicide squad assembles in this Spider-Force #2 preview
Christopher Priest has a long history with Spider-Man, serving as a writer and editor on Marvel’s Spidey titles in the ’80s. As a writer, he would drop in for a few issues and then depart, and that pattern holds true with Priest’s new Spider-Force, a three-issue miniseries tying into the Spider-Geddon event. The plot of Spider-Verse was nonsensical, and the same holds true for its follow-up, which brings back the original crossover’s interdimensional vampires rather than creating a threat that is actually interesting. What makes these events fun is all of the alternate universe Spider-People, and the tie-in books are where these characters take the spotlight. Spider-Force has Priest working with a team that includes Jessica “Spider-Woman” Drew, Kaine, Ashley Barton of the Old Man Logan future, and new characters Astro-Spider and Spider Kid, and he sends them on a suicide mission that ups the stakes at every turn.
