Summary
A fan’s updated timeline puts all the games and comics from theMarvel’s Spider-Manuniverse in full chronological order ahead ofSpider-Man 2’s upcoming release. Back in 2018, famedRatchet and Clankdeveloper Insomniac put its own spin on the Marvel Comics mythos withMarvel’s Spider-Man, which told the story of a seasoned Peter Parker as he encounters new versions of his deadliest foes and struggles with the physical and emotional toll of his never-ending mission to protect New York City.
Marvel’s Spider-Manearned high praise and record-breaking sales figures thanks to its open-world gameplay and clever writing, spawning an entire series in the process. 2020’sSpider-Man: Miles Moralescontinued the first game’s story, highlighting the titular Brooklyn teenager as he comes into his own as a capable superhero in his own right - but this isn’t the end ofInsomniac’s growing Marvel gaming universe. In true Marvel fashion, there have been several tie-in comics that fill the gaps between the games, and the Peter Parker of Earth-1048 was even featured as part of 2018’sSpider-Geddoncrossover event.

With all of these different games and tie-in comics, it can get challenging to figure out what media comes first in theMarvel’s Spider-Mancontinuity, but CanadianWaffleHouse has put together a full timeline encompassing nearly every story in Insomniac’s superhero universe so far. This comprehensive timeline includes theHostile Takeoverprequel novel, theVelocityseries that featuresPeter’s unlockable Velocity Suitfrom the first game, and even the recent prequel comic forMarvel’s Spider-Man 2.
There are a few omissions to CanadianWaffleHouse’sSpider-Mangame universe timeline though, which they explain in the post. TheMarvel’s Spider-Man: City At WarandBlack Cat Strikescomics are just retellings of the first game and itsCity That Never SleepsDLC, and the Insomniac Peter Parker’s recent cameo inSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Versewas just that - a cameo.
The story of Peter and Miles is set to continue inMarvel’s Spider-Man 2, which will launch as a PlayStation 5 exclusive in October. Certain plot threads from the first two InsomniacSpider-Mangames, such asthe emergence of Venomin the Insomniac universe, will be picked up inSpider-Man 2, and the sequel could include references to the tie-inMarvel’s Spider-Mancomics as well. This makes CanadianWaffleHouse’s timeline a helpful tool for players looking to catch up on the full story ofMarvel’s Spider-Manin time for its next pulse-pounding chapter this fall.
