Spider-Man 2099 Is Coming in September

At today's Superior Spider-Man Panel at the Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo (C2E2), Marvel Comics confirmed long-rumored plans to bring Spider-Man 2099 to the current era under writer Dan Slott. Slott appeared via video at the convention (embedded below), saying that "Miguel O'Hara is coming to the pages of Superior Spider-Man. It's not a trick, this is really happening." Of course, he's referencing a previous move he'd made on Twitter, "leaking" a "private" message between himself and artist Ryan Stegman that implied O'Hara was going to replace Peter Parker, back before Amazing Spider-Man #700 had been released and the identity of the Superior Spider-Man revealed. Stegman will draw the arc, which begins in September's Superior Spider-Man #17. He told fans that there was no need to alter the look of the character at all, since the visual designed in the '90s is so strong.
