Earlier today, in conjunction with Marvel and Insomniac Games, Titan Books announced that it will be publishing two tie-in books for Insomniac?s upcoming Spider-Man game. The first book, Spider-Man: Hostile Takeover, will act as a prequel to the events of the game, will be written by David Lisa (The Ethical Assassin, Black Panther: The Man Without Fear) and reveal Kingpin?s plan to take control over New York City.
?Leading directly into the beginning of the game, Marvel?s Spider-Man: Hostile Takeover features some of Spidey?s most famous friends and foes,? said Titan (via Polygon), ?including the Shocker, Echo, the Blood Spider, J. Jonah Jameson, Mary Jane Watson, and Wilson Fisk ? the Kingpin.? Spider-Man: Hostile Takeover will hit shelves on August 21, 2018, just a few weeks before the game itself releases on PlayStation 4. Not only will a tie-in novel release for the game, but Titan Books also plans on publishing a game-based art book, titled Marvel?s Spider-Man: The Art of the Game. The book, written by Paul Davies, is set to feature a ton of new looks from the upcoming game. ?Packed with never-before-seen images of Spider-Man, his costume and equipment, the Marvel version of his hometown New York, and the deadly villains he battles, fans will learn about every facet of the game, from the initial designs, blueprints, and the breathtaking final concepts,? says Titan?s announcement.
