Spider-Men revealed, and it’s exactly what everyone thought it would be. Say what you will, but it’s still Bendis writing Peter Paker and Miles Morales, which he obviously is great at. Also, how can you not like everything Sara Pichelli draws?

While I’m glad to see a larger pic of the illo I posted last night - which was via Bleeding Cool, FWIW - I have to point out that the above art is by Jim Cheung (as per the New York Daily News story), not Sara Pichelli. See the signature above? (No, not the IGN watermark, smartass.) That’s how Cheung typically signs his work.

I know this is a big deal and people are excited, but since this was highlighted in the comics tag, I must stress: doublecheck before you post. (And I would especially hope that the comics ‘editors’ had the sense to be more diligent about such things.)

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Spider-Man, Marvel Comics is bringing together two versions of the iconic character…in a mashup that pays homage to everyday New York.
A new five issue mini-series, “Spider-Men,” available starting in July, uses a common villain to bring the two heroes from different alternate realities.
“For the 50th anniversary of Spider-Man, what everyone was looking for was a Spider-Man story that mattered,” says series writer Brian Bendis. “Well, here you go.”
When Marvel introduced Miles Morales — a half-black, half-Latino teen — as the new Spider-Man in one of its comic lines last year, it made national headlines. Critics grumbled it was a character who would never make it alongside the original Spider-Man known to generations of fans since he was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko in 1962.
But Morales got a key stamp of approval from Lee. “Doing our bit to try to make our nation, and the world, color blind is definitely the right thing,” the comic book legend told The News.
Bendis agreed. “Someone had once said to me, ‘When I was a kid, I could only play Spider-Man, I couldn’t play Batman or Superman because my friends would say you’re not the same color, but I could play Spider-Man because when I fantasized about Spider-Man, he looked like me under the mask.’
“That was a big inspiration.”
