Jon Kasiya

A figure woven into the early mythology of one of Marvel's most exciting Modern Age creations, Jon Kasiya made his debut in 2005's Araña: The Heart of the Spider #2, brought to life by writer Fiona Avery and artist Roger Cruz. He moves through a world populated by compelling characters like Anya Corazon, Amun, and Miguel Legar, and his presence was notable enough to earn him an entry in the All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z — a mark of genuine canonical standing. With appearances stretching across the Araña series and into Spider-Man & Araña Special: The Hunter Revealed, Kasiya is a rewarding discovery for collectors digging into the rich, underappreciated corner of mid-2000s Marvel where this distinctive corner of the spider-mythos first spun itself together.
