"Marvel Comics has unveiled a new Alpha miniseries. The announcement has debunked rumours that the sidekick will replace Peter Parker as Spider-Man.  The five-issue series will be written by Joshua Hale Fialkov with art by Nuno Plati. Alpha was recently depowered by Parker in a story produced by the pair for Amazing Spider-Man #694. &amp;quot;He was a freak and then he became famous, and now he&amp;#039;s infamous and powerless essentially as far as the world knows,&amp;quot; Fialkov told USA Today. &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s that creepy kid who used to be on a sitcom when he was 5... He&amp;#039;s been demoted from this awesome life to nothing. All the cool stuff is gone.&amp;quot; A new web slinger is in line to take centre stage in the Marvel NOW! title The Superior Spider-Man. His identity remains a mystery. Alpha #1 will debut in February. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
