NYCC: Peter Parket NOT Spider-Man in upcoming re-launch; MJ and Spidey back?

Even though I'm interested in the recently announced Marvel NOW relaunch, The Superior Spider-Man, that doesn't mean I'm questioning some decisions that the comic giant has made with this, like today's news article for example......

According to Newsarama, during a retailer breakfast that was held, this thursday, writer Dan Slott said a few more details with the comic.

Courtesy of the site:

"Dan Slott teased a few more Superior Spider-Man details during a retailer breakfast held at the start of New York Comic Con. Marvel Comics has confirmed that Slott told retailers in attendance that the Spider-Man starring in the January-debuting series is indeed a character other than Peter Parker, and that Spider-Man and Mary Jane would be getting back together — which would mean that Peter and MJ will not be."

Though this was reported by many others comic sites, one actually revealed that this new Spider-Man will have retractable claws.


What will happen to Pete in #700 that has him no longer being "the amazing wall-crawler"? Does he die? Does he once again retire? Is Marvel gonna go extremely drastic and make Pete a villain? More Importantly... who's this new Spider-Man?

Flash Thompson? (currently "Venom"... go read it now)

Kaine? ("The Scarlet Spider".... another Marvel book I recommend)


or if this would be tied in to the ending of this year's event book, Spider-Men....


"WARNING!: If no one has read Spider-Men #5, do read any further and thanks for reading this article."

Miles Morales (616/Mainstream U): Like it's shown in the final panel of Spider-Men. After peter does a "goggle" search on the character, it's possible by his reaction that there is a version of Miles in Peter's universe. It's also possible by judging from his reaction, that they're maybe a connection/Peter knows this "Miles" in his universe.

Whatever happens to Pete and whomever this new wall-crawler is, we won't know until the final issue of Amazing Spider-Man, which is still slated to release on both newsstands & digital download, December 25th. The debut of the relaunch with the new spidey, "The Superior Spider-Man", will be available on newsstands & digital download the following day, December 26th.

Comic News: Details & Artwork for The Superior Spider-Man debut

It was revealed in today's edition of USA Today, that current Amazing Spider-Man writer, Dan Slott and "Amazing" artists, Humberto Ramos and Giuseppe Camuncoli are sticking with the friendly neighborhood wall-crawler with the upcoming re-launch, "The Superior Spider-Man".

Joining Mr. Slott, Mr. Ramos and Mr. Camuncoli for "Superior", is artist Ryan Stegman. Mr. Stegman has recently contributed with Marvel Comics with both Fantastic Four and The Scarlet Spider. His first art duties will be on the debut arc for the book, titled "Hero Or Menace".


While we don't know what will happen to Pete in the final issue of Amazing Spider-Man, issue #700, slated to release on December 25th. It does sound that whatever event happens to unfold in the "finale", it will have a drastic impact on Peter with "Superior".


"A far darker Spider-Man than fans have ever seen." The one thing that does not go with this Spider-Man is the term 'Friendly neighborhood'," said writer Dan Slott. "I've always been the omniscient hand that's been protecting Peter Parker and Spider-Man, and not letting anything too bad happen to him. And now I've become this cruel god. There's something exciting about the, about going, 'Mwah-ha-ha-ha-ha, here is what's going to happen to you, Spider-Man!' And it's drastic and it's big and it's exciting and it's never been done before."

The artist for Superior's frist arc, "Hero Or Menace", Ryan Stegman did talk with USA Today about Spidey's re-designed look for Marvel NOW.


"His belt looks a lot different, and there's points at the end of his glove that add a little aggressiveness to his costume," explains Mr. Stegman. Ryan also promised that Spidey will have new abilities in Superior, something that hasn't happened to the wall-crawler since the 2001 pre-"One More Day" arc, "The Other". Also returning in the future will be The Sinister Six. He finished by discussing how he'll be delivering a unique take on the supporting cast of characters in Pete's daily life.

"I try to keep the history in mind. A lot of guys make Aunt May almost look like a witch, which is something I want to stay away from. Just because you're old, you don't have to look like a monster."

The finale to the "Amazing Spider-Man" ongoing series, issue #700 will be available to purchase both on newstands and through digital distribution on Christmas Day, December 25th.

It's successor and re-launch to coincide with Marvel NOW, "The Superior Spider-Man" will be on newsstands and digital download, the following day, December 26th.


So for that Spider-Man fan in you life, you now have an idea on what to get he/she for this year's  Holiday season...... that, and the Blu-Ray/DVD release of "The Amazing Spider-Man" on November 9th. In other words, this was not only a great year to be a comic reader, but a great year to be a Spider-Man fan and a respective way that Marvel Comics celebrated the character's 50th anniversary.



"Peter Parker and his masked alter-ego, Spider-Man debuted in Amazing Fantasy #15, August 1962. The Amazing Spider-Man ongoing series started in March 1963 with Marvel Comics publishing that title and future titles. The creators of the amazing wall-crawler were Stan "the man" Lee and artist, Steve Ditko. At the start of 1999, the series was relaunched with Vol. 2 and started back to issue #1. However, during the comic's 40th anniversary, the title was reverted back to it's original numbering, with issue #500 in December 2003."

Cover of the Week 09/13/12

Cover of the Week



SCARLET SPIDER #5 
Cover Art by Ryan Stegman

Article by Frankie Rodriguez (Subbing for Darryll B Carter)
This week's cover is a little old. It's from artist Ryan Stegman for Scarlet Spider #5. The explosive cover is a real eye catcher. A bomb looks like it is going off with Scarlet Spider (Kaine Parker) in Ground Zero. The cover really has a great, fiery and impactful way of bringing you to it. Easy on the eyes. And it is AWESOME! I love it.  That is why it gets this week's Golden Udder.

CoW: Cover of the Week #17

Avengers vs X-Men #5

      I have to say. This one was tough. It came down to the Stegman variant of AvX #5 and Det. Comics #10. In the end AvX won out thanks to a little mystique and creativity. There was just something about the placement of the Phoenix Force across Hope's eyes and the way her attention sort of turned toward the camera/reader. And the tears... It just did me in. I would love to have it as a poster, without that obnoxious AvX banner Marvel is posting over everything.

COVER OF THE WEEK # 5

COVER OF THE WEEK (Week of February 22nd)

by Darryl Carter (aka Yusuke T. Centre) 

Cover Artist: Ryan Stegman

      It’s Spider-Man’s anniversary and so it was only a matter of time before something related to the webslinger captured a Golden Udder. This week’s Cover of the Week is Scarlett Spider #2.

First thing I noticed when I saw this was the costume. Ben changed his costume? Is this even still Ben? For CoW purposes it doesn’t really matter, the costume is awesome. The Scarlet Spider is rocketing out of what appears to be a shattering brick wall. Narrowly escaping an explosion? Very nice. The web work is fairly detailed, I noticed it on issue #1 as well (also an awesome cover). But I’d have to say the bricks are my favorite part in the image. It’s the way they’re caught in shadow and no brick is perfect. They are all unevenly broken. Must’ve been a strong wall.

What really made this cover for me was the force it displays. I can almost feel him swinging toward me. The combination of the bricks, the subtle debris in the foreground and the general angle of the image puts that feeling right in my mind. Not to mention the intensity shown in the hand holding the web, his life line. Scarlet Spider is holding on for dear life and in style.
