Spider-Man PS4: 10 Comic Storylines Insomniac Must Use

7. Big Time

You have to admire Dan Slott. Not only has the writer got great Twitter-game, he's presided over the wall crawler for a little over eight years now. His run didn't get off to the best of starts thanks to the earth shattering ret-con provided by One More Day, but, as his run has developed, it's become something truly marvellous. You only have to look at Superior Spider-Man for confirmation of that fact, but it is the author's second story-arc that would make for a particularly awesome triple-A release.

Called 'Big Time', this storyline saw Pete deal with a rejuvenated Hobgoblin, a new army of Spider-Slayers headed up by Alistair Smythe, as well as the return of Mac Gargan to the Scorpion identity. All in a day's work for Spidey, right?

Peter himself develops a Tron-like suit to adapt to the challenges that arise throughout the tale, and even the Avengers make an appearance too. What better way to expand the Sony-Marvel gaming monopoly than to hint at further titles along the line, featuring Earth's Mightiest Heroes?

Content Producer/Presenter

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.
