Peter Parker and Miles Morales are partners in crimefighting in Spectacular Spider-Men

AFTER CREATING animated series Spectacular Spider-Man, Greg Weisman is now delving into the wall-crawler's comic book adventures. And as if one Web-head wasn't enough, The Spectacular Spider-Men pairs Peter Parker with Miles Morales for their first monthly title team-up.

"It's always nice to have someone for your lead to talk to, and if you have two equal leads, as we have in Spectacular SpiderMen, then the job is done for you," Weisman tells Red Alert. "You play the dynamics between the characters, testing them under different circumstances and challenges." Along with Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli's original 2012 series Spider-Men, Weisman has taken inspiration from the classic Spidey-starring Marvel Team-Up and the Thing-centred Marvel Two-In-One. "I'm sure books like Team-Up and Two-InOne are swimming in my head, and I've read the previous Spider-Men series," says Weisman, who says that he's adopted a mor fluid approach.
