BACK ON THE PROWL
Posted: 111716

The Prowler died in Amazing Spider-Man #17 but was brought back to life as a clone by the Jackal. Now Hobie Brown thinks the villain and the other resurrected Spider-Man villains are the good guys. Brown also needs medication from the Jackal to stay alive so he is more or less forced to help him. Prowler is involved in the Spider-Man event Clone Conspiracy but also has a solo series courtesy of Nova’s Sean Ryan and artist Jamal Campbell. Dan Slott brought Brown back into continuity as an important part of Peter Parker’s supporting cast by having him work for Peter Parker and even wearing the Spider-Man suit when Peter can’t. When the series begins Hobie will deal with the fact that Jackal could have let him die but he didn’t. He thinks that the Jackal’s company NEW U is working for good but knows the other villains brought back to life need to be watched. The first arc will have the Jackal send Prowler on a special mission to see who is trying to hack into Jackal’s servers. The first five issues will tie into Clone Conspiracy and involve the new Electro, who killed him and Madame Web. Hobie will also have to deal with the fact that the mission keeps him away from the medication that keeps his body alive and the fact that Electro wants him dead because he is now the Jackal’s favorite.
