COMICS: Spidey's Black Suit Is Returning In AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #800 And It Will Be Sticking Around
It's been revealed today that Peter Parker will regain his black costume in the pages of Dan Slott's Amazing Spider-Man #800 but when the title is relaunched by Nick Spencer, it will be sticking around!
During a Marvel Comics retailer-only panel at Chicago's C2E2 convention, it was revealed by new Marvel Editor-In-Chief C.B. Cebulski that the wall-crawler will regain his black suit in the pages of Amazing Spider-Man #800. The reason hasn't been revealed but pages from the issue were shown and it was also confirmed that the suit will carry on over into Nick Spencer and Ryan Stegman's run.
They're relaunching the title as part of Marvel's "Fresh Start" initiative and the last time Spencer got his hands on a fan-favourite superhero, he made Captain America a member of HYDRA, so who knows what he has in store for Peter Parker! Bear in mind that the last time he donned the suit was because his Aunt May was shot, so perhaps something just as life-changing will happen to the hero in #800!
Spidey recently gained a new symbiote in the pages of Venom, so it's also possible that he'll be wearing that. Then again, with Avengers: Infinity War on the horizon, it's hard not to wonder if Peter's trip into outer space won't result in him gaining an alien suit! That's just speculation for now, of course, so we'll have to wait and see. What do you guys think? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.
