'Spider-Man: Long Way Home' Presents a Showdown Between Spider-Man, Punisher, and Hulk

This Summer, legendary creators Jonathan Hickman and Adam Kubert present a 5-issue series, Spider-Man: Long Way Home, that’s poised to be the grittiest Spider-Man comic story of the modern age.

Nowadays, DC is dominating the comic book space, but Marvel Comics has just announced a new 5-issue Spider-Man series from legendary creators Jonathan Hickman and Adam Kubert, and suddenly our spider-senses are tingling. This project feels like a smash hit in the making. The five-issue limited comic series, titled Spider-Man: Long Way Home, is poised to be the grittiest Spidey comic of recent memory, putting Spider-Man, Punisher, and Hulk on a high-stakes collision course as they desperately pursue a missing Cosmic Cube.

The official synopsis reads: It’s a world before the Punisher. A world where the existence of the Hulk is but a whisper of a rumor. A world where A.I.M. has just developed a Cosmic Cube in the jungles of South America. Frank Castle, Bruce Banner and Peter Parker are all on a mission to keep the Cube out of the wrong hands – including each other’s. In this three-way free-for-all for the power of the cosmos, who will come out on top?

Hickman and Kubert tease Spider-Man: Long Way Home

“I’m so happy to be working with Adam Kubert again and even happier that we’re getting to work on SPIDER-MAN: LONG WAY HOME,” Hickman shared. “Absolutely no one is going to see this one coming.”

“Jordan [D. White] barely got the words out before I yelled ‘Yes!’ to SPIDER-MAN: LONG WAY HOME,” Kubert said. “A five-issue Hickman saga with Spidey, Hulk, and Punisher? Total no-brainer. With Frank Martin making the mayhem pop! Just Make Mine Marvel!”
