The animated TV show is set to air on Disney+ on 29 January, 2025 and will take place during Peter’s freshman year of high school.
However, to get us in the mood ahead of its release, Marvel Comics has taken to social media to share our first look at the Your Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man prequel comic.
The special prequel comic book series is written by Christos Gage with art from Eric Gapstur and will consist of five issues.
Now thanks to Marvel Comics, we can see Peter Parker take his first steps into becoming a superhero as he develops his powers, picks out a name and even designs his own costume.
Thanks to stunning cover art and even our first-look at some panels, we can see Peter in the early stages as he struggles between juggling high-school life with fighting crime.
"I've had the privilege of writing a lot of Spider-Man's adventures, both in comics and in the Insomniac video games, but one thing I've never gotten the chance to do is recount his earliest exploits," Gage said.
"And the exciting part about this book is it's a brand new take on those formative times. While this is definitely Peter Parker, the Spidey we know and love.”
Your Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man #1 hits shelves on 11 December so you have just a few weeks to read it before the Disney+ show kicks off.
As for the show, it will fill the gap between now and the release of Spider-Man 4.
However, Your Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man will take place in an alternate timeline where Normal Osborn becomes Peter's mentor instead of Tony Stark.
Needless to say, with both a comic book series and animated show on the way, it is an exciting time for Spider-Man fans.
