Sure,ÂPersona 5’s Phantom Thieves aren’t “technically” superheroes, despite them saving people in Tokyo over and over. So perhaps that was the idea behind some new fan art, crossing overÂPersona 5Âwith the variety of Spider-people fromÂSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.Created byfan internet artist Loco Nathan, we saw the first glimpse of the project earlier last week when he Tweeted out a stylish rendition of Spider-Man Noir:
Then, a few days later, we got to see the finished project – a full mockup of the Spider Thieves:
And, to be honest, theÂPersona 5ÂandÂSpider-Man: Into the Spider-VerseÂmashup works out almost too well. Miles carries a Joker-vibe, Peter Porker scratches a lot of the same itches as Morgana, and Spider Gwen carries a similar bust as Ann Takamaki. Arguably, Peni Parker’s SP//dr is likely the furthest stretch, taking upthe role of Best Girl Makoto.
This isn’t even the first time that Loco Nathan has taken on aÂPersona 5ÂandÂSpider-ManÂcrossover. Earlier last week, he showed off another interesting take, this time more themed towards Spidey:
Outside of this mashup, bothÂPersona 5ÂandÂSpider-ManÂhave been a wellspring of inspiration for gamers and content creators. For instance, thefan-made board game(which is unfortunately unofficial) looks like a terrific time and a great showpiece. Meanwhile, I’m still waiting on someone with more coding talent than me to build out a full GameBoy Advance-styleÂPersona 5,which was conceptualizedby another Twitter artist:
On the other side of the spectrum, PS4’sÂMarvel’s Spider-ManÂhas become a bastion for other types of fan projects–specifically afterthe Raimi suit was let loose upon the world. For instance, most fans have taken notice of a fan-madeMiles Morales costumethat will hopefully make its way into DLC. And that isn’t even including the re-imagining ofÂInto the Spider-Verse’s"Sunflower" by Post Malone, retooled throughÂFortnite.
If you haven’t yet picked up a copy of eitherÂPersona 5ÂorMarvel’s Spider-Man,both games are available now exclusively on PlayStation consoles. In fact, feel free to support both the developers bynabbing the titleson Amazon, if you want. Meanwhile,throw Loco Nathana RT and Follow above.
