Today, JJ Abrams and Henry Abrams announced they are collaborating with artist Sara Pichelli on a Spider-Man miniseries comic featuring a new villain.
JJ Abrams and his son Henry have partnered with artist Sara Pichelli on a five-part Spider-Man comic book series that will debut this September and introduces a new villain named Cadaverous. Although JJ Abrams and Henry did not divulge plot details on the Spider-Man series, the elder of the two noted it will show “Peter Parker in a way you haven’t seen him before” and his son commented on continuing Stan Lee’s tradition of making a superhuman feel human:
“Spider-Man is one of those superheroes where the more you read about him, for me at least, the less I understand him. He’s so anti-everything that you’d expect from a hero. I think Stan Lee said something about putting the human in superhuman. That is what we’re trying to do.”
