There’s a new symbiote superstar wreaking havoc in the Marvel Universe and his name is SYMBIE!
But who is this mischievous—and adorable—little glob, and more importantly, where did he come from?
This December, those questions and more were finally answered in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: SYMBIE #1, a special one-shot spinning out of Amazing Spider-Man from writer Joe Kelly and artist David Baldeón.
Originally created by the “Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends” show team for the hit Disney Jr. series, Symbie has been popping up all over Marvel comics since his debut in Amazing Spider-Man #11 written by Joe Kelley and drawn by Pepe Larraz.
Additional comic book appearances include the previously-released:
Spidey and his Amazing Friends #1 CGD 2026 written by “Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends” staff writer Danielle Kreger
Symbie Infinity Comic by Jacob Chabot
Marvel Mutts Infinity Comic by MacKenzie Cadenhead and Enid Balám,
well as the upcoming Spidey and his Amazing Friends #1 Halloween Trick-or-Read 2026 comic releasing for younger fans this October.

On introducing Symbie to comic readers, Kelly shared:
“From the moment I saw the Symbie design from the Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends show team, I was giddy – both because he’s adorable and also oddly… sinister.
There’s something intriguing about a symbiote in the Marvel Universe that runs around without a host… it’s weird and unnerving, right? Even when it’s adorable, maybe moreso because it’s adorable.
That is a fun character – layered and built to subvert expectations. Much like Symbie himself, this book is funny, layered, surprisingly dark, and flat out weird. It’s a blast.”
