In the latest The Cosmic Circle episode, writers Anthony, Vic, and Vin talk about Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. What were their favorite callbacks? How does it hold up to other Spider-Man media? What do they want to see from the future of this series?

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man was created by Jeff Trammell. The series stars Hudson Thames as Peter Parker (age 15) and Colman Domingo as Norman Osborn. Originally titled Spider-Man: Freshman Year, this is an alternate universe take on Tom Holland’s Spider-Man origin story from the MCU, essentially asking, “What if Norman Osborn mentored Peter Parker?”.

YFNSM also features Nico Minoru, Dr. Strange, Iron Man, Venom, Otto Octavius, Harry Osborn, Amadeus Cho, Scorpion, Dr. Connors, Charlie Cox as Daredevil, and Vincent D’Onofrio as Kingpin. Seasons 2 and 3 of the Marvel animated series are already in development! Check out the discussion in the podcast episode below!
