The first wave includes two manga: \"Spider-Man (working title)\" by tokitokoro and \"Spider-Gwen (working title)\" by Ryusei Yamada. Both works will begin serialization on the manga site Kadocomi within 2026, with print volumes planned afterward. The Spider-Man manga follows Haruto Hachidori, a male high school student living in Shibuya who suddenly acquires an unknown spider ability, and the Spider-Gwen manga centers on Gwen Stacy, an ordinary high school student who plays drums in the band Mary Janes. Concept art released with the announcement shows Spider-Man and Spider-Gwen alongside Daredevil and the Punisher. Five titles are scheduled to be announced sequentially as the project's first wave.","whyItMatters":"KADOKAWA has published Marvel art books and translated books until now, so this project moves the relationship into co-developed original Marvel manga run through its own Kadocomi platform rather than licensed reprints.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe MARVEL FANFARE panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, held Saturday, July 25, featured three speakers: C.B.
