As noted, 2022 marks the 60th anniversary of Spider-Man since he first swung into the pages of Amazing Fantasy #15. Now, Marvel Comics is celebrating the occasion - and the launch of Amazing Spider-Man #1 - with some spectacular variant covers coming our way this April.
Adorning many of your favourite ongoing series, these showcase Marvel's heroes and villains suited up Spidey-style. Created by incredible artists such as Dan Jurgens, Kaare Andrews, Rahzzah, Kyle Hotz, Declan Shalvey, Pete Woods, Rod Reis, David Baldeón, Bengal, Romina Jones, and more, these covers feature brand-new costume designs inspired by Marvel's greatest icon.
The characters who have been transformed into Spider-Man include Mary Jane, Captain Marvel, Carnage, Iron Man, Emma Frost, Shang-Chi, Silk, Silver Surfer, Thor, and Venom.
After a forgettable few years for the web-slinger, Spidey's star has definitely risen recently (particularly with the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home). We're sure Amazing Spider-Man #1 won't be the only way the hero's legacy is celebrated this year, and there are rumblings Ben Reilly is going to get his own series as a Spider-Man protecting Hollywood rather than New York.
Going back to these variant covers, though, and our favourite is definitely the X-Men's Emma Frost.
