Spider-Boy has strange origins as a human-spider hybrid created by the sinister Madame Monstrosity, and now his hidden monstrous nature seems to be catching up to him in February's Spider-Boy #4 from writer Dan Slott and artists Paco Medina and Ty Templeton, which guest stars Miles Morales as seen on the just revealed cover of the issue by artist Humberto Ramos, seen below.
Spider-Boy #4 hinges on the new nickname given to Bailey Briggs/Spider-Boy, which is, somewhat tragically, "Boy-Spider." That moniker calls to mind the story of Man-Spider, a classic arc from the '90s Spider-Man: The Animated Series in which Peter Parker is mutated into a mostly spider-y monster hybrid.
