This just in-
Donald Glover is FINALLY, really and for true, joining the Spider-Man universe. (Yes, we know he appeared in “Spider-Man: Homecoming” in a cameo as Aaron Davis, theoretically Miles Morales’ Uncle Aaron.) While it’s not quite what we were all anticipating, it will be a project set within the web. Glover will star in and executivie produce the project, which will bring a really obscure Spider-Man character to the forefront: Hypno-Hustler. Myles Murphy, son of Eddie Murphy, will pen the script.
Not really a main character or anything, Hypno-Hustler first appeared in the Spider-Man comics in 1978. Leader of a band called the Mercy Killers, thief Antoine Delsoin uses instruments with hypnosis technology on his audiences. Yeah, it’s a pretty disco fabulous kind of thing.
Not much else is known about the project yet, but we’ll let you know what we hear about this and other news.

Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
