Looks like everyone has finally come to their Spidey senses. Spider-Man is returning to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Macy’s spokesman Orlando Veras said Monday the company negotiated with Marvel comic books and Sony Pictures to bring the wall climber back to the spectacle.
The new balloon depicts a more muscular, crawling Spider-Man.
The original balloon debuted in 1987 and retired after the 1998 parade.
Spider-Man is great and all, but what about all the other balloons that aren’t a part of the parade? Here are some suggestions from RedEye’s social media friends.
One thing you won’t get from RedEye is a lot of hot air. Follow us on Twitter at twitter.com/redeyechicago and friend us on Facebook at facebook.com/redeyechicago.

@AlliLibb A Transformer balloon that goes from a semi-truck float to an Optimus Prime balloon in an instant. How cool would that be?
@JackieinChicago A giant fail whale balloon

@v1talyg Sarah Palin — she brings her own hot air
@lauralikewhoa a parade balloon version of “the money u could be saving w/geico” would be goofy. Even has a soundtrack already.
@sam_ash I’d like to see Blago filled with hot air. Oh wait …
