Tom Hardy Explains How Close His Venom Came to Crossing Over With Spider-Man
In a conversation with the Discourse Podcast from the Playlist, Tom Hardy looked back on his journey as Venom and revealed that the world very nearly got a Sony cross-over between his bumbling violent anti-hero and the heroic web-slinger.

The Latest Marvel Comics Stunt Choice Makes Mary Jane Your Newest Venom
In Marvel Comics’ latest Spider-swing, Al Ewing and Carlos Gómez are giving Mary Jane Watson a new venomous lease on life.

Spider-Noir May Get Black-and-White Release
Spider-Man stories are typically colorful, splashy affairs, especially when translated to live-action or animation. The upcoming Spider-Noir show will continue that trend, it just may also do it without the vibrant palette we’ve become accustomed to.

Magic: The Gathering’s Spider-Man Cards are Truly Spectacular
Last year, a set of Marvel-themed cards came to Magic: The Gathering—one of the card game’s many ongoing brand crossovers—and featured A-list heroes like Black Panther, Wolverine, and Captain America.

Madame Web’s Love Language Is Hitting People With Cars
The season of love is in the air once more, but a different anniversary is joining it this year: it’s been one year to the day since Madame Web‘s web dared to connect us all, often in spite of itself. In the last 12 months I have found myself embracing the camp period movie vibe that Madame […]
Marvel Wants to Dig Up Gwen Stacy’s Corpse (Again)
Death, metatextually or otherwise, has long been something of a revolving door in superhero comics. Not even the most famous deaths have ever really stayed truly permanent–but at Marvel if there’s one that’s stayed pretty close, and stands among a rarefied group at the publisher, it’s Gwen Stacy’s. Gwen’s legacy at this point, even as […]
Marvel Finally Gives Its New Spider-Man Cartoon Some Promo
In a few days, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man finally hits Disney+.
