Nick Spencer entered The Amazing Spider-Man It is about to end with the 74th edition of the series. Sadly it looks like this will now be for Peter Parker, as Ben Riley, his identical clone, will arrive to don the mantle of Spider-Man once again with a new creative team from The Amazing Spider-Man No. 75.
Patrick Gleeson is the new writer and artist for The Amazing Spider-Man Once Nick Spencer’s run as a screenwriter ended. And what little we know about this new race of spiders is that things aren’t looking good for Peter Parker, because the covers of issue #75 of the series make us think he’s going to be seriously injured.
As we can see, these covers show us the dying Peter Parker of the love of his life, Mary Jane Watson, and one even puts Parker on a stretcher in the hospital. These could be indications of a possible temporary retirement for health reasons, or even Parker’s death – a fact that wouldn’t be new – after facing Kindred, his staunch enemy of current numbers.
Some fans assumed Peter would find himself in some kind of coma, or was actually on his deathbed, or that he would just have to recover for a while to get back to normal. Marvel hasn’t said anything about it, however, the three options are very viable. Will we ever see Peter Parker die – ahem, again -?
But who will be Spider-Man next?
Dear Padawan don’t get discouraged, Marvel hasn’t confirmed that Peter is going to die or something and if he does, he will be revived in a while, these are comics, calm down. However, we already know that the identical clone created by Chakal, Ben Reilly, will provide our beloved Peter Parker with being Spider-Man for a long time, while he recovers.
We’ve even gotten the first glimpses of the much-loved Ben’s return and his new outfit as Nethead. As mentioned at the beginning, this new race will be in charge of Patrick Gleeson, in both pencils and script. Along with other artists such as Sarah Bechelle – creator of Miles Morales – Michael Dowling and Art Adams, who will be responsible for all covers of this new series of The Amazing Spider-Man.
The subtitle that will accompany this new phase of Spider-Man will be behind, so you can easily locate this new launch as a file Amazing Spider-Man yet.
No departure date for The Amazing Spider-Man # 75 / behindBut to give you an idea, The Amazing Spider-Man #74, the end of Spencer’s race with the parietal crawler, scheduled to end on September 22nd. So, you can expect the new Spider-Man series between October and November this year.
