Spider-Man: Fake Red

In this 2023 manga-style reimagining from Viz, a high school student stumbles upon a discarded Spider-Man costume and decides to use it for his own purposes, setting off a chain of events that blurs the line between hero and impersonator. Written by Caleb Cook and Molly Tanzer with art by Yusuke Osawa, the series explores identity and responsibility through a fresh, standalone lens. Though only a single issue in, Spider-Man: Fake Red offers a compelling what-if scenario that recontextualizes the classic web-slinger mythos for a new audience.
