THE EARLY 2000’S ACTIVISION SPIDER-MAN TIMELINE

THE LATE 90’S ARE BORN AGAIN IN A NEW BATTLE CHASERS GAME AND COMIC

If you don’t, I won’t hold anything against you, and to be honest, the only thing I really remember is the busty red-headed female character and that the comic had an incredibly sporadic release schedule. Series creator Joe Madureira is returning to this franchise along with Vigil Games (Darksiders) co-founder…
