A Centipede Once Again Saves the Spider-Verse

A Centipede Once Again Saves the Spider-Verse is the canceled final official main comic in the Centipede in the Spider-Verse series of Marvel and Dozerfleet crossover comics. Initially pursued in December of 2021, it was abandoned officially in May of 2023.

Plot
The story begins in Miles' room. It includes the opening of the teaser trailer of Across the Spiderverse. But right as Gwen is about to lure Miles away to meet Miguel and the other Spider Totems, she becomes lustful-eyed. She embraces Miles, making out with him, and stares at the bed. But before the couple can proceed, Ciem and Italian Spiderman arrive via the Percolation Wave. Candi then warns the two of them that not all Miles-Gwen pairings work out, before also warning them that Miguel hates Miles just as much as Darius Philippine hated her. She warns Miles of the Percolation Warrior way, and that it lets him know what's right. To do what's right, for that reason, and not merely out of selfish desire to prove Miguel wrong. She warns that Miguel is insane, and that the meeting will go poorly. That the reason Miguel believes himself to be right, is because most iterations of Spider-Man are either alone, or have unreliable allies. But with Candi and Franco to provide Miles company, Miles' story doesn't have to have the same bad ending involving a sadistic choice as what Miguel believes is inevitable. A centipede will once again have to fix the Spiderverse!

At some point, she discovers the pregnant version of Jessica Drew, being Spider-Woman shamelessly even while pregnant. Candi recalls her own experience of being forced to fight while pregnant, to flee from Gerald Milewing's associates, after they held her at gunpoint during a bank heist, then taunted her by assassinating other bank patrons in front of her and laughing. How she broke Milewing's arm, fled the bank to save her unborn child, and got Strawberry to protect her as soon as possible, because of how irresponsible it would have been to continue fighting alone while pregnant. And how she wound up in protective custody after Stephanie's Strawberry unit blew up.

The sight of Jessica Drew continuing to willingly battle evildoers while pregnant therefore offends Candi's sensibilities about motherly instinct, resulting in her responding to Jessica with a firm: "You disgust me!"

Development
Work on this piece began on December ‎17th of ‎2021, after the first dropping of the teaser trailer to Across the Spiderverse. However, objectionable woke content in Marvel movies, as well as subsequent trailers for Across the Spiderverse led to the cancellation of this series of comics. It was officially ruled as canceled on May 10th of 2023.

Trivia

 * Candi's tone of "You disgust me!" toward Jessica Drew mirrors the time in Anarteq: Tropic Mercenary in which Perchta judged Jissika Sundue to her face for being promiscuous, while Perchta began having flashbacks to being tortured in Belgium by pedophiles back in the 1990s.


 * Chronologically, this unfinished work became the last crossover between Dozerfleet and Marvel, given objections to content in the subsequent trailers to Across the Spiderverse, as well as discontent with the general direction of the MCU in Phase 4 and beyond.


 * Some panels were shot showing a different pairing of Gwen and Miles, with Gwen pregnant, eating rice in Japan.
 * There was also going to be a sequence of Miles, Peter of Earth-1048, Peter of Earth-199999, Peter B. Parker, Candi, Gwen, and Franco involved in snowboarding; using the Snowy Escape expansion to The Sims 4. That footage has been lost.
