MARVEL COMICS' SPIDER-MEN

Marvel Comics has confirmed that the Spider-Men mini-series it has been teaming will team-up the Marvel Universe Peter Parker with the Ultimate Universe Mile Morales.

The five-issue series will be written by Brian Michael Bendis, with art by Sara Pichelli and covers by Jim Cheung.

Here's how Marvel describes the story?

"When Spider-Man tracks down one of his deadliest villains, he suddenly finds himself thrust into another world where Peter Parker is dead...and there's a new Spider-Man in town. As these two heroes learn the truth about their identities and their universes, they'll embark on a journey that'll leave them forever changed -- and reveal a startling truth about a key player in the Spider-Man mythos!"

"This year is the 50th anniversary of Spider-Man and we're so happy that the stars aligned for us to tell a Spider-Man story that nobody has ever seen before," Bendis said. "It's an honor and a privilege to present both this story and these characters to fans on such an auspicious occasion. The work Sara has done on Spider-Men is a step above the already high standard that she has set for herself on our Ultimate Comics Spider-Man series. For me, this is a celebration of the best character in mainstream comics and some of the best art mainstream comics has to offer."

"Knowing how much Brian loves and respects Spider-Man, there''s no way I wouldn't want to work on Spider-Men with him," Pichelli said. "It's going to be an explosive celebration of Spider-Man;s 50th anniversary -- are you ready?”

Each issue of Spider-Men features variants covers. Artists include Humberto Ramos, Mike Deodato, Marcos Martin, Terry Dodson, Travis Charest and Pichelli.

The mini-series begins in June.
