Welcome back, old friends.

Spider-Man ‘94 may bill itself as a continuation of the show, but it’s got classic Spider-Man comics blood flowing in it as well. It’s a mix of the familiar and fresh, expected and surprising.

So far, I’m enjoying that cocktail.

If it was a top 20 list, "Working Class Hero" would definitely be on it. Incredible song.

J.M. DeMatteis @jmdematteis.bsky.social · 1d

You're absolutely right!

Just realized that the new HERO SQUARED COMPLETE COLLECTION is out this week from @boom-studios.com! This is the only creator-owned series Keith Giffen and I did together and it may just be my favorite Giffen-DeMatteis production.

You can also get signed copies of the SCOOBY APOCALYPSE OMNIBUS and my novella THE WITNESS (illustrated by @jhwilliams3.bsky.social). And it's all for a great cause.
