In an interview with Den of Geek, Ziglar said he told Marvel: “I’d love to write Spider-Man, but if it’s a black Spider-Man then you must want me on board.“. Ziglar went on to reveal Marvel’s response:”‘Relax, if we do, we’ll let you know.’ Then one day they contacted me. “Hey, he’s not just a black Spider-Man, he’s a black Spider-Man who likes punk stuff.” Optimal! It literally covers all my areas! They saw how excited I was about the project and gave it to me“.
The new series of In Spider-Punk, Hobie will deal with the aftermath of President Norman Osborn’s fall. Among the characters set to appear in the miniseries is a variant of Riri Williams, the alter ego of heroine Ironheart, who will soon be the protagonist of a Disney+ series.
