Spider-Man Activision [To Trap a Spider!]

This one-shot comic from 2000 served as a promotional tie-in for Activision’s Spider-Man video game, bridging the gap between the game’s story and the Marvel Universe. Written by Brian Michael Bendis and TQ Jefferson with art by Chris Gossett, it features Spider-Man in a self-contained adventure that echoes the game’s interactive feel. While a brief piece of Marvel’s licensed publishing, it stands as an early example of Bendis’s take on the character before his celebrated run on the main series.
