Non-Stop Spider-Man #1 begins at a breakneck pace

Joe Kelly and Chris Bachalo have a history together, and Marvel re-teaming them for a new Spider-Man series is meant to mine that for more great stories.

After just reading this four-page preview of next week’s Non-Stop Spider-Man #1 (opens in new tab)… well… take a look:

That 15-story drop, the catching of the broken glass… pretty great, huh?

“Get ready for the most action-packed, pulse-pounding, adrenaline-pumping comic OF ALL TIME!” reads Marvel’s description of Non-Stop Spider-Man #1. “As the name implies, once you read page one, panel one, SPIDER-MAN DOES NOT STOP! 

“A mystery at Empire State University thrusts Spider-Man into an adventure that starts in uptown Manhattan and will take him around the world, pitting him against Marvel Universe villains old and new and give you a Spider-Man adventure (and Spider-Man) the likes of which you’ve never seen.”

Peeking ahead at the description of Non-Stop Spider-Man #2 (opens in new tab) and #3 (opens in new tab), and it seems someone is threatening Peter Parker’s fellow students at Empire State University. After dropping out years ago (decades ago if you’ve been reading that long), Peter recently re-enrolled to finish his degree with the help of Dr. Curt Connors (aka the Lizard, but he’s reformed). 

From these four pages of Non-Stop Spider-Man #1, the ‘non-stop’ part of the name doesn’t seem to be metaphorical.

Non-Stop Spider-Man #1 is a reunion for Kelly and Bachalo after collaborating previously on Amazing Spider-Man, Uncanny X-Men, and the creator-owned series Steampunk. Bachalo’s long-time inker Tim Townsend is back as well, with Marcio Menyz on colors.

Non-Stop Spider-Man #1 has a host of covers like any big Marvel launch. In addition to the main cover (and a variant) by David Finch, there are variants by Ken Lashley, Bachalo (a die-cut and a wraparound), Todd Nauck/Joe Sabino, Larry Lieber (a ‘hidden gem’), Alex Ross, Skottie Young, Greg Laroque, and Adam Kubert.

Here they are:
