It’s not like Spider-Man and Wolverine were ever best friends, but certainly there was a level of mutual respect between the two heroes. And if you know Peter Parker, he’s not the type to turn down a dying request from a fellow super hero.

That’s exactly why Spidey finds himself tackling a new and totally unexpected job in Spider-Man & The X-Men #1: Special Guidance Counsellor at the Jean Grey School. Everyone’s favorite non-mutant super hero is there at the specific request of Wolverine, only Logan didn’t fill his teammates in on the details.

That could get tricky enough, but when you throw villains like Sauron and Stegron, the Dinosaur Man (teaming together for the first time, incredibly) into the mix and add in the fact that not all of the X-Men are super thrilled to have the wall-crawler around, it’s almost guaranteed to be a fun ride.

“He’s there because Wolverine asked him to do it, though being a teacher isn’t the extent of his mission,” series writer Elliot Kalan said in an interview with Marvel.com, “Before Wolverine died, he had a suspicion that something was amiss at the school and that one of the students wasn’t what they seemed. Only he didn’t know which student. It’s Spidey’s job to find the truth – though he can’t help but hope to also have a positive influence on the lives of the students.”

Spider-Man & The X-Men #1 heads our way on December 10 from Kalan and artist Marco Failla, but you can get a first look at some of the action and variant covers by Skottie Young and Bengal just by scrolling down the page right now.
