Spider-Boy #20
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeSpider-Boy #20 is the finale of Dan Slott's complete 20-issue run with Bailey Briggs, the character he co-created, bringing the 'Full Circle' arc to a close by reuniting Bailey with virtually every ally and antagonist he encountered across the series. As the last chapter Slott would write before departing Marvel for DC, the issue doubles as an authorial farewell — acknowledged explicitly by a dedicated Humberto Ramos 'Farewell Variant' cover from the character's co-creator. The issue crystallizes the central thesis of the entire run: that Spider-Man's youngest sidekick had earned genuine standing in the Spider-family, demonstrated through Toy Soldier's in-story declaration that Peter Parker, though he'll never say it aloud, is proud of Bailey Briggs.

Spider-Boy (2023) was conceived by Dan Slott during his Spider-Man vol. 4 run with Mark Bagley, with Slott describing the character's genesis as a half-joking editorial-room question about what would happen if there were 'one more guy' that no one in the Marvel Universe remembered. The solo series launched in November 2023 with artist Paco Medina taking over interior duties from co-creator Humberto Ramos, under editor Nick Lowe — the same editor who had overseen much of Slott's prior Spider-Man work. Slott's announced move to DC Comics in 2025 set a hard endpoint for the series, making issue #20 a planned rather than abrupt conclusion.
