It will be sometime before players can expect a sequel to last year’s Game of the Year nominated Marvel’s Spider-Man, but for those looking to spend more time in that world, Marvel has you covered with the release of Marvel’s Spider-Man: Velocity, a spin-off comic book series launching this August. From Dennis Hopeless, the writer on the adaptation of last year’s hit video game Marvel’s Spider-Man: City at War, Velocity will explain the origins of the Velocity Suit that was designed by comic artist Adi Granov and added to the game post-launch. From Marvel:
“After the events of CITY AT WAR, Spidey continues to balance his colliding worlds as he attempts to protect New York City against Super Villains like Swarm, while reporter Mary Jane Watson delves deep into an investigation with legendary Daily Bugle journalist Ben Urich. Learn the never-before-told backstory behind the Velocity Suit as unexplainable occurrences bedevil the city and our heroes come face-to-face with… a poltergeist?!”
