Non-Stop Spider-Man # 1 2021 NM-

Non-Stop Spider-Man #1, released in March 2021, is a high-octane action series written by Joe Kelly with art by Chris Bachalo. The series is designed to be a "relentless" thriller where the pacing mimics an action movie, rarely slowing down for quiet dialogue.

Core Plot & Key Events

• The Mystery of "A-Plus": The story begins at Empire State University, where several of the school’s brightest students (including some of Peter's friends) are suddenly dying from a mysterious new drug called "A-Plus." The drug increases intelligence to superhuman levels but eventually causes the brain to "short-circuit" and explode.
• Kellogg's Death: Peter is devastated by the death of a brilliant young student named Austin Kellogg, which fuels his frantic, "non-stop" hunt for the dealers.
• The Zapata Brothers: Spidey faces off against the Zapata Brothers, a pair of super-powered mercenaries hired to protect the drug's distribution.
• The Sinister Mastermind: While Spidey fights through the streets of New York, it is revealed that a mysterious high-tech group is behind the drug, aiming to "cull" the world's population of anyone who isn't "elite" enough.
• Visual Style: The issue is famous for Chris Bachalo’s chaotic, kinetic layouts and "shaky cam" artistic style, intended to make the reader feel the speed of Spider-Man's movements.
