Starting with next month's Amazing Spider-Man #75, an all-star lineup of writers and artists are assembling to usher in a bold new saga in the wall-crawler's storied history on the page.
Creators Saladin Ahmed, Cody Ziglar, Patrick Gleason, Zeb Wells, and Kelly Thompson are teaming up on the thrice-monthly title to shake up the Spider-Man status quo with the return of Peter Parker’s fan-favourite clone, Ben Reilly. Backed by the Beyond Corporation, Reilly is more than ready to take over and be the best Spider-Man there ever was.
But does he have what it takes? And what does Peter have to say about it? This fresh take on the Spider-Man mythos promises to introduce new foes, redefine classic villains, and make us "rethink the whole concept of Spider-Man" according to a press release sent out by Marvel Comics.
Clearly, Peter is going to survive his battle with Kindred when Nick Spencer's run ends, but something surely has to happen for the spotlight to be shifted to Ben instead. He's had a rocky few years since being reintroduced in "The Clone Conspiracy," so here's hoping this run redeems him.
You can take a first look at Ben Reilly’s early adventures as the new Spidey in the all-new Amazing Spider-Man Beyond trailer, featuring never-before-seen artwork from the series.
Amazing Spider-Man #75 is set to be released on October 6.
