Spider-Punk: Battle of the Banned

In 2023, Marvel unleashed Spider-Punk: Battle of the Banned, a one-shot by writer Cody Ziglar and artist Justin Mason that expands the anarchic, music-fueled corner of the Spider-Verse. This single issue pits the punk-rock Spider-Hero against a new threat that strikes at the heart of his counter-culture world, blending high-octane action with the series' signature DIY aesthetic. It matters as a standalone blast of creative energy from a creative team that fully understands the character's rebellious spirit.
