Today, Marvel.com released an interview with Chris Yost. The interview itself was pretty straight forward: it talks of a cross-over between Superior Spider-Man Team-Up and Scarlet Spider. The two-part story will be called ‘Sibling Rivalry’ and WHOOO-Boy, does it have implications for the future of the Spiderverse.
Let’s list the highlights:
1. Kaine vs. SpOck. Yes, Yost knows the history of these two. Yes, its likely to be acknowledged.
2. Jackal is still running around. (A plot point of Superior Team-Up’s predecessor, Avenging Spider-Man Yost seems to be building off his brief appearance in AvSM 16.)
3. THIS QUESTION. I leave it to you to interpret how you will. What does this mean for Spidey going into the latter half of 2013? We SHALL SEE.
Marvel.com: Looking even further down the line, the solicitation for SCARLET SPIDER #21 promises
that “everything has changed for Kaine” following the events of Sibling Rivalry, and that he’s about to cross paths with none other than Ben Reilly. What more can you say about what the end of this story means for SCARLET SPIDER going forward?
