While we’ve had the Spider-Man films in our lives ever sinceSam Raimi’s 2002 movieSpider-ManstarringTobey Maguire, it’s been a long journey to where we are today with Peter Parker.
The relatable hero that so many have turned to throughout the years has constantly been a source of comfort to fans. So getting to explore the character we’ve come to love with his history before us will be a wonderful addition to the San Diego Comic-Con experience.
