8 Best Comic Storylines Featuring Spider-Man: Far From Home Villains
7. Daredevil: Guardian Devil
Marvel Comics
A Spider-Man story this may not be, but it's one fans of Mysterio should look at all the same.
Daredevil: Guardian Devil is one of the more revered storylines to feature the Man Without Fear, with Kevin Smith and Joe Quesada collaborating to tell a story that shone a light on the religious aspects of Matt Murdock's character. The premise? Matt comes across a baby that is said to be the Anti-Christ, while at the same time his old enemy Bullseye resurfaces.
The comic is most famous for the death of Karen Page, but the comic also continues the trend of the Man Without Fear borrowing Spider-Man's villains to great success, with Mysterio pulling the strings behind the scenes in an attempt to get one last victory while Peter Parker is out of action.
This is Quentin Beck at his most sinister, so don't expect it to inform too much of Far from Home come the summer. In any case, you won't find a Mysterio story much better than it.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
