Overview
- Marvel announced Amazing Spider-Man: Symbie #1 as a one-shot written by Joe Kelly with art by David Baldeón and a backup tale by Jacob Chabot, and the issue goes on sale December 9, 2026.
- The publisher says the main story will trace Symbie’s secret origins and the early history of the Klyntar, the symbiote species linked to Venom and Carnage.
- Symbie was created for Disney Jr.’s Spidey and His Amazing Friends and has already appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #11, multiple Infinity Comics, and an upcoming kid-focused Halloween tie-in.
- The release will include a main cover by Pepe Larraz and variant covers by artists including David Baldeón and Pere Pérez to target both young readers and collectors.
- Writer Joe Kelly describes the book as intentionally cute but unsettling, a tone designed to broaden Symbie’s appeal and strengthen Marvel’s TV-to-comics cross-platform strategy.
