Attendees can look forward to Huberto Ramos's art with colors by Edgar Delgado. Mickey Mouse himself is handing Spidey a cake, and then the other one sees the Marvel hero returning the favor for Walt Disney Company's 100th Anniversary next year. Talent central will see the chance for fans to get their new books signed by the Editor-in-Chief of Marvel C.B. Cebulski and other Spider-Verse creators.
