Marvel reveals a new cover for the upcoming issue of Scarlet Witch that shows Aubrey Plaza's Rio Vidal from Agatha All Along.
"I've had the privilege of writing a lot of Spider-Man's adventures, both in comics and in the Insomniac video games, but one thing I've never gotten the chance to do is recount his earliest exploits," Gage said in Marvel's press release for the prequel series. "And the exciting part about this book is it's a brand-new take on those formative times. While this is definitely Peter Parker, the Spidey we know and love, he's got a new cast of supporting characters - including Nico Minoru, who you may know from Runaways - and some surprising twists!”
