Spider-Punk Is Getting His Own Movie in Sony's SPIDER-VERSE Universe — GeekTyrant
Spider-Punk is officially stepping out of the multiverse and into the spotlight. Sony Pictures Animation is developing a spin-off movie centered on the fan-favorite Spider-Man variant Hobie Brown, who made his big-screen debut in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse . Daniel Kaluuya, who voiced the character in the film, is not only returning to voice the character, but he is also co-writing the new project with Ajon Singh. According to Deadline, the movie is still in early development, and plot details are being kept tightly under wraps. There's no confirmation yet on whether other Spider-Verse characters will appear. Created by Dan Slott and Olivier Coipel, Spider-Punk first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #10 in 2015. This version of Hobie Brown hails from Earth-138 and brings a rebellious edge to the Spider-Man mythos. He's an anarchist who battles authoritarian regimes, wields an electric guitar, and isn't afraid to smash the system—literally. Kaluuya's performance in Across the Spider-Verse brought a unique voice and swagger to the character, making him an instant fan-favorite character in a packed ensemble. It makes sense to give the character his own movie! While there's no release date yet, it's safe to assume Spider-Punk's solo outing won't hit theaters until after Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse , which is currently set to arrive June 25, 2027. Beyond the Spider-Verse will pick up after the cliffhanger ending of Across the Spider-Verse , with Miles Morales (voiced by Shameik Moore) stranded on Earth-42 and face-to-face with an alternate version of himself who has become the Prowler, voiced by Jharrel Jerome. The third film will also bring back Hailee Steinfeld as Gwen Stacy, Jason Schwartzman as The Spot, and Karan Soni as Pavitr Prabhakar. Get ready for some punk rock Spidey chaos!

Review – Superman Unlimited #1: Earthfall
Superman Unlimited #1 cover, via DC Comics. Ray: Dan Slott arriving at DC is one of the biggest earthquakes in the comic book industry in a while, as the man has essentially been synonymous with Spider-Man for close to two decades now. But his segment on the Summer of Superman special proved he's just as well-suited to Superman, and this first issue doesn't do a thing to change my mind. The first segment of this issue was in DC's Free Comic Book Day issue, and it follows Clark Kent as he attends a meeting with the Planet's new owner – Imani Edge, Morgan Edge's ex-wife, who seems interested in elevating the Planet's profile. From there, he goes to save lives around Metropolis – and makes a quick stop to elevate the spirits of a young musician, in a quintessentially man-of-steel moment. But there's no time for relaxing, as a massive meteor is bearing down on Earth. Superman shatters it – only to discover that the metal shell was covering a massive core of pure Kryptonite. Crash landing. via DC Comics. As Superman pushes himself beyond his limits to keep the meteor from hitting Earth, he flashes back to his life as Slott essentially takes this opportunity to retell Superman's origin and all the key moments for this version of the character. In lesser hands, this would have been self-indulgent, but the art is stunning and the emotion is there as Superman tries to spend his last few seconds saving as many lives as he can on Earth. But he doesn't die – he wakes up several weeks later, coming out of a coma, to discover one crazy twist after another. Kryptonite is now readily available on Earth. The Supers are more vulnerable than ever, with Superboy and Supergirl both sporting injuries from previous battles. A new Kryptonite-powered nation has sprung out of where the meteor fell. And Superman himself may have changed in ways he can't fully understand. This is a great first issue, and one that takes its place quickly right alongside the best of the line.
