Comic book fans, this one’s for you! After years of speculation, a gay Spider-Man is officially landing.The new superhero, ‘Web-Weaver’, is described as “A not-so-mild mannered fashion designer,” and “a very different kind of Spider-Slayer”.
Web-Weaver joins the brand new ‘Hunter-Spider’ on getting his debut in the final edition of the Edge of the Spider-Verse series, with the latter being described as “the most hardcore Spider yet!”Rounding off Pride month by revealing the exciting news on Twitter, series writer Steve Foxe said: “he can’t–and shouldn’t–represent ALL gay men.
No single character can.“His fearless femme identity is central to who he is, but it’s not the STORY”.Something I realized immediately when conceiving Web-Weaver is that he can't–and shouldn't–represent ALL gay men.
No single character can.His fearlessly femme identity is central to who he is, but it's not the STORY…which you can experience for yourself in September!.
