New York Comic-Con was filled with news about all the latest Marvel games. While we didn't get an announcement regarding a sequel to Insomniac's
Marvel's Spider-Man, we did get the next best thing: a new title in Marvel's Gamerverse, a comic book series based on the popular PS4 game.
Marvel's Spider-Man: The Black Cat Strikes will be the next mini-series in the Gamerverse, arriving in stores in January. Written by Dennis "Hopeless" Hallum with art by Luca Maresca, the five-issue limited series will explore the previously untold stories of Spider-Man and Black Cat's complicated relationship.
