About this Issue

Spider-Man 2099 #32 marks the debut of Strange, the Earth-928 Sorceress Supreme — a young woman who would go on to become one of the most consequential supporting figures in the entire Marvel 2099 line, appearing repeatedly across later volumes and alternate-timeline stories. The issue is also notable for being the first installment published under the retitled 'Spider-Man 2099 A.D.' cover branding, signaling the book's participation in the interconnected 2099 A.D. crossover event that restructured the whole line. Structurally, Peter David uses a split-narrative approach that simultaneously advances the present-day 'Day of the Dead' zombie crisis in Mexico City and the 'Young Miguel O'Hara' flashback arc, weaving together two timelines in a way that deepens the emotional stakes of characters like Tyler Stone, Kron Stone, and Angela Daskalakis.

History

The issue was written by Peter David — the sole writer on the title for the vast majority of its original run — and features art split between Roger Robinson (handling the present-day story) and David Boller (handling the flashback sequences), with Jimmy Palmiotti as inker on the Robinson pages and Ken Lopez lettering throughout. It was edited by Joey Cavalieri and Lia Pelosi, part of the same editorial team that would be at the center of the line-wide disruption in early 1996. The issue also coincided with a production upgrade: the paper stock shifted to glossy beginning with this issue, a change that coincided with the 'A.D.' rebranding of the cover logo.

Trivia · 9 facts

  • First appearance of Strange (real name Jeannie / Jean Davidson), the female Sorceress Supreme of Earth-928 in the Marvel 2099 universe.
  • Strange is depicted from her debut as a young, inexperienced mystic who unknowingly shares her body with a possessing demon, a duality that would define her character throughout the series.

  • Beginning with this issue, the cover logo changed from 'Spider-Man 2099' to 'Spider-Man 2099 A.D.,' reflecting the issue's placement within the line-wide 2099 A.D. crossover event; the branding lasted through issue #39.
