About this Issue

Spectacular Spider-Men #11 marks the first appearance of Cobweb (later nicknamed 'Spider-Sprite' by Peter Parker) and introduces the broader Seelie Court of Central Park — a hidden fairy community ruled by Queen Mabh and Prince Obheron — as a fully realized corner of the Marvel Universe. The issue is the opening chapter of the 'Strange Love' arc (chapter four in the series' internal numbering) and the first issue collected in the third trade paperback, making it a structural entry point for new readers into Greg Weisman's ongoing world-building. It also deepens the series' central thesis — pushing Peter and Miles past a mentor/protégé dynamic toward genuine equal partnership — while threading the emotionally resonant reversal of Curt Connors now being the only non-lizard member of his own family.

History

The Spectacular Spider-Men was announced in November 2023 as the first ongoing co-starring series ever to unite Peter Parker and Miles Morales under one title, pairing writer Greg Weisman — showrunner of the beloved 2008 Spectacular Spider-Man animated series — with veteran Amazing Spider-Man artist Humberto Ramos. For issue #11, interior art duties shifted to Andrés Genolet and Von Randal (with Ramos's kinetic house style established in earlier issues), while the cover was provided by Emilio Laiso and colorist Edgar Delgado; the book was edited by Nick Lowe with Tom Groneman as associate editor. The series was ultimately cancelled after fifteen issues, making the 'Strange Love' arc (issues #11–15) the final chapter of Weisman's run.

Trivia · 8 facts

  • First appearance of Cobweb, a blue-skinned Seelie Court fairy who receives the blessing of Spider-Man and is nicknamed 'Spider-Sprite' — a spider-themed hero whose costume draws visual inspiration from the Spectacular Spider-Man animated series.
  • First full appearance of the Seelie Court of Central Park, including Queen Mabh and Prince Obheron, who practice powerful elemental magic in secret beneath the park.
  • The issue is titled 'Strange Love Chapter 4: Spider-What?' and was released January 1, 2025 with a March 2025 cover date.
  • Written by Greg Weisman with interior art by Andrés Genolet and Von Randal; cover by Emilio Laiso and Edgar Delgado; lettered by Joe Caramagna; edited by Nick Lowe.
  • Elementary (Juliet Marcos), who debuted in issue #10, continues her early hero training in this issue, with fellow new character Gust (Jade Jackson) serving as her mentor for air-based powers — a relationship that advances the series' theme of young heroes finding their footing.
  • The two Electros — Max Dillon and Francine Frye — are depicted rekindling their antagonistic romance while using Billy Connors as leverage to coerce Dr. Curt Connors into helping them, a plot strand that inverts Connors's own long history of failing to cure himself.
  • A Morales Spider-Man clone named Shift, along with Jaime Morales and Miguel Fuentes, appear in flashback sequences, expanding the mythology around Miles's side of the story.
  • Issues #11–15 were later collected in The Spectacular Spider-Men Vol. 3: Strange Love (Penguin Random House / Marvel, ISBN 9781302964481), the final trade paperback of the series before its cancellation.
