Comic fans will be feeling the festive spirit this Christmas season, as Marvel will be launching a new Christmas-themed Spider-Man one-shot comic called Spider-Man: Holiday Spectacular No. 1. And it seems like this new comic will perfectly encapsulate the festive season of the holidays and the selfless and heroic outlook which Spider-Man is known for. And it goes without saying that fans will be eager to get their hands on it.
As reported by GamesRadar+, the book will be written by Rainbow Rowell, with the confirmed artists including Bob Quin and Luciano Vecchio, with more to be announced shortly. If Rowell's name sounds familiar, it is because she wrote the popular novels Eleanor & Park and Fangirl, in addition to penning comics such as Pumpkinheads from publisher Macmillan Children's Books and Runaways and She-Hulk for Marvel. Since she is clearly a mainstay of the Marvel Universe, fans can no doubt expect Rowell to deliver a worthy addition to Marvel’s vast catalogue with Spider-Man: Holiday Spectacular No.1.
Furthermore, fans always eagerly await the Christmas-themed stories which Marvel releases around the holiday season, and it looks like Spidey's upcoming adventure might be one of the publisher’s best Christmas adventures to date. Spider-Man and Christmas? Best Christmas present ever!
GamesRadar+ also confirmed that Spider-Man: Holiday Spectacular No. 1 will arrive in stores on November 19, so fans do not have very long to wait before experiencing this comic for themselves. And it has also been confirmed that the comic will feature Spider-Man teaming up with the likes of Daredevil, the Avengers, the Thing, and the X-Men throughout the holiday season, although other plot details are scarce at the moment. It is also not yet clear which villains will be featured in the book, although we can expect to learn more details about the plot soon. But for now, it looks like this will be a very fun and wholesome comic which can be enjoyed by fans and casual readers alike.
And the cover by Luciano Vecchio shows Spider-Man and various other heroes engaging in a snowball fight, which brilliantly highlights the fun and playful tone of the book. Even for a hero like Spider-Man, the holidays are all about fun and friends, and the wholesome tone of Spider-Man: Holiday Spectacular No. 1 will clearly make it a relaxing read for those who are enjoying the Christmas season. So, if you happen to know anyone who is a dedicated or even a casual Spider-Man fan, this one-shot comic will certainly make a fantastic Christmas gift.
Spider-Man: Holiday Spectacular No. 1 is on sale from November 19.
