The video game Spider-Man is officially meeting up with the mainstream Peter Parker
The Peter Parker of the video game world of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is traveling across the Spider-Verse himself for a new ongoing digital first Infinity Comic series which brings back the classic title Spider-Man Unlimited.
Written by Christos Gage with art from Simone Buonfantino and Fer Sifuentes-Sujo, Spider-Man Unlimited #1 is now available on the Marvel Unlimited comic reading app, with new chapters planned to release every Tuesday.
