Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #2
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue marks the first comic-book appearances of the Earth-86445 versions of the Enforcers — Fancy Dan (Daniel Brito), Montana (Jackson Brice), and Ox (Raymond Bloch) — in their new animated-universe incarnations, deploying them as Silvermane's enforcers against a Spider-Man who has barely learned to use his own web-shooters. It is a rare example of a Marvel tie-in comic that deliberately fills a narrative gap flagged by the TV show's own creative team rather than simply retelling the screen story, expanding the animated universe's canon in print. The issue also stages the alternate-continuity debut of Crusher Hogan as Peter Parker's first real test of his powers, transplanting a Golden/Silver Age touchstone into a modern Disney+ multimedia framework. Together, issues #1 and #2 represent the first sustained, in-continuity origin retelling for this Earth-86445 Peter Parker, making them the foundational records of that universe's earliest Spider-Man history.

Marvel announced the five-issue prequel series on November 1, 2024, positioning it explicitly as a bridge between the spider-bite and the 'months later' jump at the opening of the Disney+ animated series. Showrunner Jeff Trammell explained that the comic fills a specific timeline gap from the show's first episode, and noted that further comics could address other gaps in later seasons. Writer Christos Gage and artist Eric Gapstur handled all five issues of the limited run, which was published from December 2024 through April 2025, with issue #2 releasing on January 15, 2025 — two weeks before the animated series itself premiered on Disney+.
