If clothes truly make the man, then they definitely make the Spider-Man. This is clearly what was on Marvel’s mind when they recently revealed Spidey’s new suit on their website. Designed by artist Dustin Weaver, the wall-crawler’s new duds can be seen on variant covers for the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man #62 and #63. As you can see below, the costume takes on a more white and blue look than his normal attire.
Weaver had the following to say of Spidey’s new suit:
As of the time of writing, Peter Parker’s decision to wear the new suit is unclear. However, fans can find out the reason when Amazing Spider-Man #61 and #62 hit stores in March. Peter will wear the costume in his fight against the Kingpin, although it’s unknown how long he’ll don it afterwards.
There are notable similarities between Spider-Man’s new comics suit and the Armored Advanced Suit from Spider-Man Remastered for PS5. These lie in both suits’ predominant white color contrasted alongside darker colors. But it also remains reminiscent of Spidey’s MKII Spider-Armor from the 90’s comics in color choice.
Appearing only in Web of Spider-Man #100, the Spider-Armor remains a memorable one-issue wonder. The white-and-blue suit was created as a response to the New Enforcer’s weapons. The armor made Spidey bulletproof but impaired his agility. The suit was eventually destroyed by acid. The costume would reappear in various Spider-Man media over the years, most notably the 2000’s NeverSoft PlayStation game.
