What if Spider-Man was in a punk band aka what if Spider-Punk formed the Spider-Band to take on fascists? Plus previewing Across the Spider-Verse

Hey ho, let's go! As we prepare for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, let's visit the introduction of Hobie Brown aka Spider-Punk in comics! We start with his first appearances in The Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Verse before unleashing the power (chords) of his five-part mini-series by Cody Ziglar and Justin Mason. Plus we share a Ramones song (meaning it is very short) size history of punk rock and speculate on what's next for the Spider-Verse on screen.
