Araña and Spider-Man 2099: Dark Tomorrow
Alex Segura brings Anya Corazon, aka Araña—a groundbreaking Latinx super hero—to Marvel Press young adult fiction in this action-packed story about unlikely friendship, perseverance, and what it means to be a hero.
When Anya comes into her spider powers, it’s hardly smooth sailing—or smooth web-slinging, as it were. Anya’s balancing the demands of school, “normal” teenager problems, her secret super hero identity, and the still-fresh loss of her mentor.
Things get even more complicated when an ancient artifact, El Obelisco, goes missing. Knowing how dangerous a powerful artifact can become in the wrong hands, Anya suits up and tracks it to a warehouse in East New York. There’s just one wrinkle: This was totally a trap and she totally fell right into it.
Anya finds herself launched decades into the future, far away from her home and everything she knows. But just when it seems like all is lost, Anya finds an ally in 2099's retired Spider-Man, Miguel O'Hara—a reluctant mentor with unconventional methods.
Anya has to look deep within herself to stave off a looming immortal threat and save the universe.
