Marvel Comics attended this past weekend's Lucca Comics & Games festival, and Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski and legendary Amazing Spider-Man artist John Romita Jr. were both on hand to share some big reveals with attendees.
Now, we can offer some details on those to you. For starters, we have the sensational cover for next February's Dark Web Finale #1, the startling conclusion to the X-Men/Spider-Man crossover that’s going to ignite the holiday season this December. The dawn rises after the demonic invasion of New York City, but what will that light reveal?
We'll find out next year courtesy of Zeb Wells and artist Adam Kubert, in a climactic double-sized issue revealing Chasm's final gambit and the new denizens of Hell he helped create and unleash on Spider-Man and the X-Men! We'll also get to witness how Limbo will change New York City's landscape forever - literally!
What comes next? Well, when Dark Web is over, Amazing Spider-Man #19 and #20 will feature a two-part guest arc by two Spidey superstars: Joe Kelly and Terry Dodson.
To recover, Peter Parker and Felicia Hardy escape from the city to an exclusive spa upstate, but trouble surely won’t follow our Web-Head and ruin his romantic getaway. Guess again as Spidey and Black Cat take their next step and no one tries to kill them...yet. These two have rekindled their relationship in recent months, and it sounds like things are getting serious.
Finally, we have an Amazing Spider-Man #18 variant cover by Ed McGuinness that offers a startling first look at the Insidious Six, a twisted take on the Sinister Six that will plague Spidey throughout Dark Web. They look like a formidable bunch, and this marks the artist's latest take on the web-slinger after previously lending his talents to Amazing Spider-Man #900.
