Spider-Man: Velocity is First Original Spider-Man PS4 Comic Story May 16, 2019

Spider-Man on PS4 has been a literal marvel for Marvel Comics, the original publisher of the character. It revived interest in the wall crawler in a way that hasn’t been seen in a decade. Now, a painful agony is upon those who must wait for Insomniac and Marvel to announce its inevitable sequel. However, there have been some interesting developments for the franchise on the comic’s front. While the character in the PS4 game is not the canonical 616 version of Peter Parker found in the main pages of Marvel Comics, the PS4 Spider-Man universe has appeared in comic books including Spider-Geddon, and the game’s story is currently being adapted for the comic series Spider-Man: City at War. However, other than the novelized prequel we haven’t gotten any entirely original comic stories from the Marvel Gamerverse…until now.

Marvel has just revealed the first ever full-length original comic book that will take place in the same universe as the PS4 video game, Spider-Man: Velocity. It’s based on the backstory of the Velocity Suit, an entirely original suit that first appeared in the PS4 Spider-Man game. The suit was designed by artist Adi Granov, who is probably best known for his revolutionary Iron Man suit design in the mid-2000s that was used as the basis for Iron Man’s suit in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Now it looks like we will finally learn where it came from and why Spidey had to use it.

Spider-Man: Velocity #1 will be coming in August 2019.

Spider-Man is out now exclusively for the PS4.

Back at E3 2015, Square announced they were remaking the beloved Final Fantasy VII for the PS4. Other than a follow up trailer which was released shortly after that, we haven’t seen a thing about the game.

Enjoy!

Reminder: Free Comic Book Day 2019 Tomorrow May 3, 2019

Tomorrow marks more than national Star Wars Day, it is the first Saturday in May and that traditionally means tomorrow is Free Comic Book Day! I know what you’re thinking, why is this video game site talking about comic books? Well, in many cases some incredible video games have been released that were originally based on properties that were created for comic books, and in other cases some video games have been adapted to comic books.

Free Comic Book Day is a special event where a select group of specially marked comic books will be offered for free to anyone who shops at participating comic book stores. The idea is for people to find these local stores, pick up a free book or two and be exposed to thousands of other stories at their fingertips.

Fifty-one specially marked books will be participating this year. Here’s a handy video about each book that is being offered!

To find a full list of participating stores and to discover the closest one to you, check out their official list. A Pokémon, a Minecraft and a Street Fighter comic will be participating this year!
