Marvel Comics recently announced the writers who will take charge of Amazing Spider-Man when Nick Spencer's run comes to a close,  and we now know the list of artists who will join them.

The soon-to-be thrice-monthly series will boast an all-star team of amazing artists, including Patrick Gleason as the bedrock of the team, leading the design and doing the art on the oversized milestone issue Amazing Spider-Man #75. Joining him will be acclaimed artist Sara Pichelli, the co-creator of Miles Morales doing her first work on this title, as well as Michael Dowling, known for his incredible work on Black Cat.

In addition, comic book legend Arthur Adams will grace this epic run with his amazing artwork on each and every cover.

"When we started building ‘Beyond’ we knew we had to pull out all the stops from the artistic side. That began with making sure Patrick Gleason was with us from the get-go as a writer AND an artist," explains Editor Nick Lowe. "He quickly stepped up to be our artistic cornerstone, but we also needed to make sure that whoever else joined him were elite talents."

"Sara Pichelli is an absolute legend, creating some of the most impactful work of the last ten years. It’s crazy to think this will be her first time drawing Amazing Spider-Man, and she’s already blown us away with her masterful work. Michael Dowling’s work on Unfollow and other works got him hired for Black Cat, but his work there showed us that he would be an absolute superstar, and his issues are already blowing our minds."

"And then, to be able to land Arthur Adams as our cover artist. I mean, from his classic X-Men Annuals to today, Arthur has defined the Marvel Universe visually as much as almost anyone. So to have him here? I’m beyond excited. And wait until we reveal the rest of our all-star roster!"

You can check out a selection of artwork below, including a cover for Amazing Spider-Man #76 that seemingly confirms Peter Parker will be left comatose or badly injured after his battle with Kindred and the new Sinister Six. That helps explain why Ben Reilly has to take over as Spider-Man, anyway!

1) I'm only with this if Peter loses his leg like he did in Spider-Girl.
2) I'm not with bringing back Ben..... when we have MILES MORALES!!!!!

@dragon316 - Everyone knows that. It’s been done before though already. If we’re going to go with a tired and repetitive trope, at least try a different replacement.

Granted, Miles initially replaced Ultimate Peter, but he’s grown so much since.

@99OPTIMISTPRIME - For me the most heartbreaking scene in the whole MCU.

I would have cried if someone didn't spoil it for me.

Russo's really made that scene.

I'm sure nothing will come of this and he'll be back to normal in a couple months. Comic events are so lame nowadays, looking at you Doomsday Clock.

I understand it's "just a comic book" and the cover is designed for hyperbole, but in what world would doctors leave a superhero's mask on his face while he's intubated? Smh

I love Arthur Adams but the idea behind his cover is odd. 🤷‍♂️

@AnthonyVonGeek - I loved his cover for Classic X-Men #1.

I was a little excited to have Ben Reilly back at first, BUT some serious red flags and annoyances here. In no particular order…

#1 Someone pointed out that the Spider logo is a little off center and I can’t unsee it

#2 This is a “thrice monthly” book series like wtf guys. The reason I don’t pick up Amazing Spider-Man right now is it comes out twice a month. It’s just too much money to ask on a regular basis

#3 Multiple writers means inconsistent quality of story telling.

I hope I’m wrong and that it’s worth a read but still not picking it up for reason number 2

@ewelchd2 - I’d personally not fully into this but to your first point, I don’t think you’re meant to “unsee” it. It’s clearly a design feature, not a mistake. And to your last, multiple writers can be concerning, but if they’re taking the Hickman route as with the X books, I think having a main “mastermind” behind everything will keep things on track.

So what's the issue price point on this 3 times a month run? I hope Kaine gets some love too as the sole Scarlet Spider again.

I get get that we're in a nostalgia infused pop-culture era, that's slowly sliding into the '90s, but it seems weird that they didn't take this chance to make Miles *the* Spider-Man for a year or two.
OmegaBlack13
OmegaBlack13 - 7/1/2021, 11:09 AM
@4thMaster - I think the problem with that is there would be no going back, at least for awhile. Miles has such a presence in other media, making him “the”’Spider-Man for an extended period would mean they couldn’t bring Peter back into that role whenever they wanted. I don’t think that’d be a bad thing at all, but Marvel clearly wants to keep that from happening.
4thMaster
4thMaster - 7/1/2021, 1:44 PM
@OmegaBlack13 - I think they could set it up in a way that allows them to do it, DC managed it with Dick when Bruce "died".
OmegaBlack13
OmegaBlack13 - 7/2/2021, 6:59 AM
@4thMaster - Yeah but the majority of that time it was very clear that had a hard end date. The series explaining Bruce coming back ran for like half of Dick’s time lol
OmegaBlack13
OmegaBlack13 - 7/2/2021, 7:00 AM
@4thMaster - Also, again, Miles has a huge presence. Dick hadn’t even been Batman in any other media.
4thMaster
4thMaster - 7/3/2021, 9:00 AM
@OmegaBlack13 - Good points!

I'm glad I quit after the recent Secret Wars. I have virtually every Spidey book up to that point but it was getting ridiculous.
marvel72

3 times a month? Geez if only the book was good quality to warrant this.

Eh, he'll be fine and be back in a year, if that.
The problem with this is there is zero threat to this so there's no anticipation other than "Oh hey, Ben's back."

I'm sick and tired of how Marvel treats their most beloved character. The final straw was Miles also weilding the enigma force and was then told by Peter "I think you're better than I ever was."
[frick] off! It's been said a thousand times before but this company is creatively bankrupt. No wonder they can't come close to Manga sales.
