Steve Orlando returns to Spider-Man 2099 for another weekly miniseries

Orlando will work with a variety of artists on the series, which will introduce 2099 versions of classic Marvel horror characters.

Steve Orlando will return to the world of 2099 next year with another weekly limited series featuring the co-star of one of this year’s hottest movies — and no, I don’t mean Barbie 2099.
