Spider-Man 3099 to debut in THE END 2099

2 days ago 11

After teasing it at San Diego Comic-Con last week, Marvel Comics has announced The End 2099, a five-issue series by writer Steve Orlando and artist Ibraim Roberson beginning this December. Ostensibly depicting the final battle of the Marvel 2099 universe, the series sees a multiversal war between Mephisto and Abyssus (a fusion between Knull and Galactus) unfold on another planet, where Miguel O’Hara/Spider-Man 2099 et al. can only hope to survive.

As the Devourer in Black descends upon the world, a deal is struck with the devil — literally — as Mephisto bets the fate of 2099 in a brutal battle of survival, pitting the warriors of 2099 against fan-favorite characters from across the multiverse — like Age of Apocalypse’s Wolverine, Cyclops and Marvel Girl from Chris Claremont and John Byrne’s era of Uncanny X-Men, House of M’s Wanda Maximoff and so many more — each battling for their own universe’s survival! It’s hero against hero in this no-holds barred war against extinction! As Marvel’s heroes past and present duke it out, only one thing is certain: the future is coming, and it’s arriving in the form of… SPIDER-MAN 3099??!!

Orlando states, “Every time the door to 2099 opens, it’s not just an honor — it’s an adventure! This is the one for it all, folks. With all existing 2099 timelines united into the one, true, Universe-2099, the stakes are higher than ever when Abyssus, the Devourer in Black, comes to dinner! But not all is as it seems! Mephisto, 2099’s dark dealmaker, pivots from annihilation to a war of champions — with 2099’s greatest battling Abyssus’ finest, plucked from the multiverse!”

He continues, saying, “Putting together a team not just from 2099, but from all of Marvel’s banquet of realities, was the best kind of challenge — each warrior from the multiverse reflects a warrior from 2099 they’re meant to take down. And each warrior is a moment to celebrate some of Marvel’s most iconic realities and timelines. And best of all? In the spirit of Marvel’s greatest events, we’re debuting a whole new Spider-Man. It’s easy to say this is a spider like no other, but Spider-Man 3099 really will introduce folks to a whole new generation of heroism. Like the spider itself is a keystone species, Spider-Man 3099 is a keystone hero — the first hero in history, as far as he knows! He’s never even met another Spider-Man… but meeting Miguel O’Hara will change his life forever!”

Marvel 2099 debuted in September 1992 with Spider-Man 2099 #1 (by Rick Leonardi, and the late Peter David and Al Williamson), and the current run of titles began with Orlando and several artists’ Spider-Man 2099: Exodus in 2022. The End series, on the other hand, began with an Incredible Hulk one-shot in 2002 (also written by the late Peter David, with art by Dale Keown, Joe Weems, and Livesay), and was most recently revived as a line of one-shots in 2020.

The End 2099 #1 will be released on December 3 with a main cover by David Marquez, and variants by Derrick Chew and Paulo Siqueira, which you can check out below. Also in the meantime, you can browse The Beat‘s Marvel category for everything else the House of Ideas revealed at SDCC ’25.
