Marvel Teases Scarlet Spider’s Return

Marvel has released a new Spider-Island teaser, showing Ben Reilly’s Spider-Hoodie on fire with a new tagline: “Spider-Island – It’s lethal.” Given that Spider-Island was orchestrated by the Jackal, who is responsible for Reilly’s existence in the first place, as well as Spider-Island featuring the return of Kane (again), it’s not too impossible to believe that Ben Reilly would – in some form or fashion – return. Even if his return was just so he would be killed again.

The press release that came with the image also announces that four of the Spider-Island issues have sold out, and for fans of Nick Spencer and Emma Rios’ Cloak and Dagger book, this is assuredly a good thing.

Check after the cut for the full press release.
