The Spectacular Spider-Men #15
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe Spectacular Spider-Men #15 carries the weight of a proper series finale, serving as the concluding chapter of Greg Weisman's fifteen-issue run — his longest continuous comics work at Marvel — and the only ongoing title ever to star both Peter Parker and Miles Morales together as co-leads. The issue resolves the arc around Juliet Marcos/Elementary, an original character Weisman crafted specifically for this book, whose journey from civilian victim of Arcade's simulation to practicing superhero gave the entire 'Strange Love' arc its emotional spine. Rather than closing with a conventional battle, Weisman and artist Andrés Genolet chose a character-driven epilogue that gathers a remarkable cross-section of the Marvel Universe — heroes, civilians, and the book's deep roster of supporting players — for a communal farewell that doubles as a love letter to the shared-universe concept. Its massive ensemble splash, with dozens of characters gathering at the Coffee Bean, stands as one of the more unusual send-offs in recent Marvel history.

The Spectacular Spider-Men launched in March 2024 under writer Greg Weisman — the creator of the beloved 2008–2009 animated series The Spectacular Spider-Man and the co-creator of Gargoyles — teamed with artist Humberto Ramos for its opening 'Arachnobatics' arc. The title was cancelled before Weisman could complete a planned third arc, compressing his remaining story beats into the final issue; Weisman himself has publicly discussed what the series might have looked like had it continued past issue #15. Andrés Genolet, who penciled and inked the final arc ('Strange Love'), handled the art on issue #15, while colorist Edgar Delgado maintained visual continuity across multiple artists throughout the run, and the book was edited by Nick Lowe.
