2099: Present and Future Collide
Parker and O’Hara stand at the center of the crossover. Amazing Spider-Man #33 will start the event, showing that O’Hara’s existence in the present day is somehow endangering his future. Issues #34 and #35 will continue the story, along with 2099 Alpha #1 and 2099 Omega #1. In addition, a number of tie-ins will release to coincide with the crossover. The future versions of Venom, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, Conan the Barbarian and more will receive their own stories.
The 2099 idea was created back in 1992 and originally depicted a possible future for Marvel Comics. This was later retconned as being a separate universe entirely.

Most popular among the 2099 wave of superheroes is undoubtedly future Spider-Man, Miguel O’Hara. Called “Spider-Man 2099”, the character has endured the brand’s cancellation, appearing in the Spider-Verse comic arc and eventually making the present day his new home. Now, with his decisions changing the future he hails from, O’Hara must find a way to stabilize the entire timeline.
