Marvel & Disney: What If… Goofy Became Spider‑Man — #1 drops this summer

When Disney’s lovably clumsy Goofy steps into the spider‑suit, the result is a bright, goofy take on responsibility that collides with classic Marvel stakes. The debut issue offers a fresh spin on Uncle Ben’s legacy and a playful showdown with the Beagle Boys.

Marvel and Disney’s latest What If experiment lands with a surprising hero: Goofy, reimagined as the Amazing Spider‑Man. The first issue arrives on July 30, 2025, and promises a blend of cartoon charm and superhero drama that few could anticipate.

In this story Goofy Parker inherits a familiar tragedy—Uncle Ben’s murder—and must grapple with the famous mantra about power and responsibility. As he fumbles through web‑slinging, he also faces the notorious Beagle Boys, turning a classic crime‑gang into a spring‑loaded obstacle for our new web‑cutter.

Writer Steve Behling leans into Goofy’s slap‑stick roots while delivering a tight, hero‑origin narrative, and artist Francesco D’ippolito renders the action with bold lines that capture both cartoon elasticity and Marvel‑style kinetic energy. If you’re curious about a title that lets a Disney icon swing through New York, this issue is the perfect place to start. Pick it up and see how responsibility looks when you’re wearing Goofy‑shaped shoes.
