This week, we celebrate the theatrical release of Spider-Man: Far From Home with Preeti Chhibber, author of the utterly charming Peter and Ned’s Ultimate Travel Journal (out now from Marvel Press/Disney Books).

The book (with art by George McClements and Stéphane Kardos) is a snarky view of the MCU in general and Far From Home in particular in the form of a European travel journal as if it were written by Peter and Ned (with the occasional quip of extra snark from MJ in the margins).

It’s a super fun book that’s intended for middle grade readers but is totally appropriate for everyone – including even YOU, jaded adult!

Our conversation with Chhibber is also super fun, and it’s fantastic to chat with a writer at the relative beginning of her career. And what a beginning it is! Not many people land an A-list Marvel character for their first book. Needless to say, Preeti Chhibber is one to watch. Great things are coming, believe you me.

On this episode, we talk about writing Spider-Man, writing for middle grade, working on the multiple sides of the publishing industry, and how sensitive Peter’s spidey sense needs to be to warn him of impending… flatulence.
