Flip through the slideshow below to see all five Spider-Man cards , as well as an alternate comic book art style for the titular webslinger himself. Magic: The Gathering developer Wizards of the Coast previously told IGN that it wasn't limiting this set to a single comic run, and that's made quite clear with this early look. All five cards are different versions of Spider-Man depicted as legendary creatures: at Uncommon you have Spider-Man Noir and the robotic SP//dr piloted by Peni Parker, at Rare are Spider-Man 2099 and the delightfully goofy Spider-Ham, and finally at...
