Marvel will reveal Symbie’s origins in Amazing Spider-Man: Symbie #1, a one-shot by writer Joe Kelly and artist David Baldeón. Symbie originally appeared in Spidey and His Amazing Friends and has since become a fan favorite.
“From the moment I saw the Symbie design from the Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends show team, I was giddy – both because he’s adorable and also oddly… sinister,” Kelly said. “There’s something intriguing about a symbiote in the Marvel Universe that runs around without a host… it’s weird and unnerving, right? Even when it’s adorable, maybe moreso because it’s adorable. That is a fun character – layered and built to subvert expectations. Much like Symbie himself, this book is funny, layered, surprisingly dark, and flat out weird. It’s a blast.”
Amazing Spider-Man: Symbie will go on sale December 9. Take a look at the main cover by Pepe Larraz, alongside variant covers by David Baldeón and Pere Pérez and Marvel’s full press release below:
