#WORLD OF GOO GAME OF THE YEAR FULL#
“And when Olivier drew it – in his mind – Spider-UK meant punk, so he drew the character we know as Spider-Punk.”Īlthough Spider-UK was patched back into the issue, Slott and Coipel gave Spider-Punk a full introduction in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (2014) #10. “It was in the plot that had a mixture of Captain Britain and Spider-Man costumes with a big Union Jack on it,” Slott explained. When one scene was supposed to introduce the British Spider-Man variant called Spider-UK, a happy accident led to the creation of another Spider-Hero. As Slott explained, “My favorite alternate universe Spidey is one that I lucked into when I was working on SPIDER-VERSE with Olivier Coipel.” While that massive story brought dozens of preexisting Spider-Heroes together for the first time, it also introduced new characters. “I was the only guy who got to put them together in the cut scenes.”Īfter that, Slott started making plans for the comics crossover that would become SPIDER-VERSE. “It bugged me that with the mechanics of the game, they didn't get to team up because it's a one-player game,” Slott said. In that game, players could take control of Miguel O’Hara’s Spider-Man 2099 or one of three Peter Parker variants. “So I really loved the idea of exploring her Korean-American side in a very subtle way.”Īfter co-existing in different universes for years, Peter Parker and the other Spider-Heroes all teamed up for the first time in 2014’s SPIDER-VERSE, which was inspired by Slott’s time working with developer Beenox on the story for Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. “I never thought as a kid I would ever read about a Korean-American superhero – and a woman – living in my favorite world,” Goo shared. While Peter Parker’s stories set the template for that mix of heart and supremely bad luck, those qualities live on in newer characters like Silk. “So I just thought, I kind of want to see where all this therapy and working on her stuff takes her.”
“I really loved how her origin story started with a lot of trauma, and then she literally works through that trauma on the page by going to therapy,” Goo explained. After being bitten by the same radioactive spider that bit Peter Parker, Silk endured a decade locked in a bunker before going on a lengthy search for her missing brother and parents. “I do think that it's always their compass, and I find that really appealing about all of them.”įor characters like Silk, bad decisions are only one part of the challenges they face.
“They have a lot of heart in everything they do, whether or not that leads to good decisions or bad decisions,” added Goo, who chronicled the super hero adventures of Cindy Moon in SILK (2021). I think that is something that's very human and very relatable about the Spidey characters in general.” As SPIDER-WOMAN (2020) and EDGE OF SPIDER-VERSE (2022) writer Pacheco explained, “They feel bad about the screw-ups, just not bad enough to stop screwing up.
