Swing into the Future with Radioactive Spider-Man – Marvel’s Bold New Chapter!

Get ready to web up for an electrifying new adventure as Marvel Comics unleashes Radioactive Spider-Man #1 on October 22, 2025! Penned by the acclaimed Joe Kelly and brought to life by the dynamic art of Kev Walker, this series promises to redefine Peter Parker’s legacy in a world transformed by chaos and mutation. Part of Marvel’s seismic Age of Revelation event, Radioactive Spider-Man thrusts our friendly neighborhood hero into a gritty, dystopian future where survival demands sacrifice—and Spider-Man pays the ultimate price.

A New Era for Spider-Man

Set ten years in the future, Radioactive Spider-Man takes place in a New York ravaged by the mysterious X-Virus, a deadly plague that decimates humanity and transforms survivors into mutants. Peter Parker, ever the hero, refuses to back down. In a desperate bid to combat the infection, he doses himself with lethal radiation, hoping to hold the virus at bay. The gamble saves his life—but at a staggering cost. This isn’t the Spider-Man you know. He’s more dangerous, more unstable, and more mutated than ever before. And he’s not alone.

This bold reimagining of Spider-Man pushes Peter Parker to his limits, showcasing his genius and resilience as he navigates a world ruled by the mutant leader Revelation, formerly Doug Ramsey. With the X-Men’s universe colliding with Spider-Man’s, Radioactive Spider-Man delivers a fresh spin on a classic hero, blending high-stakes action with emotional depth. As Joe Kelly, known for his character-driven storytelling, shared, “Joe is great at everything he does, but the most important thing for me is that his stories matter, touching upon themes that are always relevant.”

The Creative Team

• Writer: Joe Kelly – A veteran Spider-Man scribe, Kelly brings his signature blend of heart, humor, and high-octane action to this series. His work on The Amazing Spider-Man and Deadpool ensures a story that’s as emotionally resonant as it is thrilling.

• Artist: Kev Walker – With his gritty, dynamic style, Walker’s art perfectly captures the chaotic, mutant-filled world of Radioactive Spider-Man. His visuals promise to make every web-slinging moment pop.

• Cover Artists: Giuseppe Camuncoli, Lorenzo Ruggiero, and Marte Gracia – The main cover, a stunning piece by Camuncoli, Ruggiero, and Gracia, sets the tone for this dark, bold new chapter.

The Age of Revelation Connection

Radioactive Spider-Man is a key tie-in to Marvel’s Age of Revelation event, a transformative storyline that reshapes the X-Men universe and spills into the wider Marvel landscape. Following the events of Age of Revelation #0 by Jed MacKay and Humberto Ramos, the world is under the sway of Revelation, whose ability to brainwash anyone who hears his voice has created a mutant utopia—or a living nightmare, depending on who you ask. The X-Virus, unleashed by the villainous 3K group, has turned New York into a battleground, and Spider-Man’s fight is just one part of this sprawling saga. Fans of X-Men and Spider-Man alike will find plenty to love as these worlds collide.
