So… you’ve been bitten by a radioactive spider. Or blasted with gamma rays. Or maybe your cat just coughed up a tentacle and now you’re quietly Googling “Flerken symptoms.” Whatever brand of Marvel-level weird you’ve stumbled into, this book has your back.
So You’ve Been Bitten by a Radioactive Spider is Marvel’s official, fully illustrated “welcome to your new life, sorry about the side effects” handbook—written by Marvel Comics + Emmy-nominated chaos gremlin Daniel Kibblesmith. It’s part survival guide, part orientation packet, part “please stop touching the glowing cube.”
Inside you’ll find extremely important life skills, such as:
-
How to wall-crawl without embarrassing yourself.
-
What to do if you’ve bonded with a symbiote (Step 1: don’t panic, Step 2: definitely panic a little).
-
Gamma-ray etiquette.
-
Whether you should let Matt Murdock or Jennifer Walters represent you in court.
-
How to tell if your best friend is a Skrull… or just acting weird again.
-
Emergency tips for when you suddenly fall into the Quantum Realm (everyone does eventually).
-
And of course: beginner-level Groot.
It’s 148 pages of lore, laughs, illustrations, and “oh no this is eerily plausible for my life” moments—perfect for Marvel fans, aspiring heroes, or anyone who suspects their next family reunion may involve a portal opening over the punch bowl.
