Spider-Man #1 Hip Hop Variant

Marvel Comics, April 2016.

This is the Adi Granov "Hip Hop" variant from the 2016 series, written by Brian Michael Bendis with interior art by Sara Pichelli.

Miles Morales has been doing the super hero thing for a while, now, but after SECRET WARS, he'll be a full-fledged member of the Marvel Universe. Swinging next to The Invincible Iron Man, The Mighty Thor and the All-New Captain America as a card-carrying member of the Avengers is an adventure, but it's not all fun and games for New York City's main Spider-MAN! What happened in the eight month gap? It all starts in SPIDER-MAN #1! Rated T
