Dan Slott recently recommended fans preorder Spider-Man #7 with a secret Humberto Ramos variant cover.

The spider is slightly out of the bag.

Tonight's the Final Order Cutoff for SPIDER-MAN #7...

...so Marvel has leaked out a *tiny* bit of information about it to retailers and news outlets.

*SPOILER* - Read on at your own risk.

SPIDER-MAN #7 will be the 1st official appearance of a new character...

...an all-new hero, who we'll see more & more of in the Spider-Man side of the Marvel U.

This character already means the world to me! Can't wait for you to meet 'em!

When I started reading comics, I remember the thrill of meeting a new hero and starting with them as *they* were introduced into the MU.

For me, that was Nova.
For other generations it's been Darkhawk, Miles Morales, or Kamala Khan.

I hope this new character might become yours!

We're still a month away until (REDACTED) shows up!
(Tho I'm plotting out a scene w/ them *right now* in the pages of SPIDER-MAN #9!)

But tonight IS the Final Order Cutoff. So if you wanna be sure to own a copy of their 1st ever cover, please check in w/ your comic shop TONIGHT.

AHH! Last thing:

I'm SUPER-EXCITED about this!
This was me, saying to Marvel,
"I wanna do THIS!
I wanna create THIS character!
And have them run around the Marvel U!"

As long as I'm writing for Marvel, I'm gonna tell stories w/ this guy! So please start on their journey w/ me!

He hyped up the cover earlier on Twitter.

Also...

@Marvel
?

Is there a chance of us getting a POSTER of this cover?
Because I would like to have one.
Frame it.
And have it lovingly up on my wall forever and ever.

Please and thank you.

(You think I'm joking, but I know-- if we do our job right-- I'm gonna be at conventions for the rest of my life signing *this* issue, and specifically *this* cover. Probably with witnesses from CGC looking on.)

The one, big downside of this cover:

Once it's out, it does spoil something inside the issue.

But it'd feel weird if we didn't have a cover featuring the (redacted) (redacted) of (redacted).

And I'm also 100% certain that many news and gossip sites will spoil it ASAFP anyway.

He suggests that this is a card he doesn't play often.

Retailers have reached out to me on multiple social media sites to ask me if I’m serious about this.

YES. I AM.

I did this for ASM #698.

And for when there was confusion on retailer orders for ASM vs Clone Conspiracy (retailers were ordering ASM like it was the main title instead of CC, cause we weren’t clear enough in solicits).

And I’m doing it again here. Big development in SM#7.

As a Marvel creator, I am 100% committed to… what happens in SPIDER-MAN #7.

Any guesses? I was thinking it might be a film version of Spidey, either from the MCU or the Spider-Verse film, but the way he describes it is a bit different.

Spider-Stan.

[the illustrious mr. kenway]

The first one feels like another Alpha type situation. A new hero called Omega?

[CrimsonEchidna]

See I saw Dan doing his showmanship on twitter and honestly did not know what to think of it. Leaving aside everything, this story has largely been in a vacuum and not acknowledged by either Peter or Miles' book. It's as if it takes place in its own universe. So, it's kind of hard to take his "this is going to have lasting ramifications and change Peter going forward" at face value when it's not actually the main book.

Maybe things will change going forward though, who knows?

[Mister Mets]

Spider-Stan.

Not a bad guess.

This would be a new character who immediately gets media attention.

He does back it up by mentioning two specific times when he was correct to alert store owners.

[bob.schoonover]

Aged up Benjy Parker?

[CaptainUniverse]

Pre-OMD Earth-616 Spider-Man as we saw him in The Other, hence the "new" powers.

[Sr. Bungle]

Spider-Stan.

Spider -Dan

[Alan2099]

Spider-Stan.

Time to dust off that old Stan2099 suit.

[CaptainUniverse]

Time to dust off that old Stan2099 suit.

LOL, that's funny.

Spider-Stan.

I think they already did Spider-Stan in Spider-Geddon:

[Spidey_Legend]

A Dan Slott version of Spider-Man and his horde of clones saving the day.

[Huntsman Spider]

LOL, that's funny.



I think they already did Spider-Stan in Spider-Geddon:

And then they all got eaten in End of Spider-Verse . . . shame.

[marhawkman]

And then they all got eaten in End of Spider-Verse . . . shame.

Ah, so that's how the Spider-verse will end.

[Kurolegacy]

LOL, that's funny.



I think they already did Spider-Stan in Spider-Geddon:

That wasn’t actually Stan, it was a visual joke based on a gag that PS4 Spider-Man had in the game where he’d pretend to be Spider-Cop. Here, he meets a real one and feels vindicated.

Edit: Disregard that, I just spotted him in the crowd.

So his other new characters were Silk, Alpha and Superior Spider-Man. Hmmm. Well two out of three of those weren't fantastic, and SSM was not exactly original. Guess we shall see.

I'm personally hoping its Mr. Spider-Paper Negative Doll-Man! The hero New York deserves.
