8 Best Comic Storylines Featuring Spider-Man: Far From Home Villains
2. Mysterioso - The Amazing Spider-Man #618
Marvel Comics
For the last decade or so, Spider-Man - at least in mainstream Marvel continuity - has been dominated by Dan Slott. The writer hopped aboard the wall-crawler's series in the wake of the controversial "One More Day" storyline from Civil War, and though it's had both highs and lows, every web-head should read Mysterioso.
Taken from 'The Gauntlet', Mysterioso deserves plaudits for both its writing and its art, but the art in particular deserves special praise. Marcos Martin's pencils are simply stunning, and Javier Rodriguez's colours are something to behold too, with the pair combining to create an aesthetic that feels both retro and modern at the same time.
It's a gorgeous story, and one that stands alone pretty well too, which means you can jump into it without having to worry about other story-arcs, or random bits of continuity encroaching on the issue.
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.
