Furthermore, Chip Zdarsky and Cafu will introduce a brand-new character, one who is expected to play a significant role in the Marvel Universe moving forward. This introduction could have major implications for future storylines and potentially introduce new dynamics within established narratives.
Editor’s Bold Claim
Spider-Editor Nick Lowe expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating, “Everyone always says Giant-Size X-Men this, Giant-Size X-Men that. And I’m sick of it, so we put together the best and coolest Giant-Size book ever.”
Lowe further elaborated, “Kevin Smith and Giuseppe Camuncoli spin an instant classic! Al ewing and Mark Buckingham use Spidey as a prism to the whole Marvel Universe and it’s history!

And that’s not even all!” The editor’s bold claims set high expectations for the one-shot, suggesting that it will be a standout addition to Spider-Man’s extensive library.
