It’s the Biggest Issue in Spider-Man’s History with Amazing Spider-Man #1000

Posted on by Leave a comment

The countdown to one of the biggest milestones in comic book history officially begins! This September, Marvel Comics proudly presents the 1000th issue of Amazing Spider-Man, and is pulling out all the stops to make it one of the grandest comics it’s ever published!

Amazing Spider-Man #1000 will be led by an epic story by Joe Kelly and Pepe Larraz that serves as both a culmination of their work on the title so far AND a pivotal moment that launches into the next phase of their acclaimed run! Then, the giant-size spectacular continues with special anniversary stories by an unprecedented lineup of renowned creators from legendary Spider-Man creators and modern superstars to surprise contributors! The talent includes the likes of John Romita Jr., Frank Miller, Peach Momoko, Stuart Immonen, Brian Michael Bendis, Dan Slott, J.M. DeMatteis, Patrick Gleason, Marcos Martin and, making his Marvel Comics debut, screenwriter Noah Hawley! Further details will be revealed in the weeks ahead, but fans can check out John Romita Jr.’s main cover, which unites the iconic Spidey artist with acclaimed artist Paolo Rivera for the first time, along with a variant cover by Pepe Larraz that teases the debut of the new supervillain, RAVAGE!

Spider-Man faces his greatest fear and his most frightening new villain in decades. Who is this Ravage? And how will his history-shattering power force Peter to question his very legacy? It’s one of Spider-Man’s most personal battles to date, and one that will shape his path for the next 1,000 issues!

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of What If?, Marvel Comics is taking a bold leap into the multiverse to discover mythos-shattering new twists on some of its most definitive stories! Announced earlier this year, the series of one-shots kicks off in June with What If…? Uncanny X-Men #1 by Gerry Duggan and Jan Bazaldua and What If…? Thor #1 by Torunn Grønbekk and Sergio Dávila. Today, fans can check out covers and learn additional story information for the next three What If…? one-shots hitting stands in July: What If…? Secret Wars #1; What If…? Jessica Jones #1; and What If…? Spider-Man #1.

In What If…? Secret Wars, Alex Paknadel and Cafu reverse the ending of Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribić’s universe-breaking Secret Wars, giving the original Ultimate Universe a chance to live on! Then, Justina Ireland and David Messina introduce an all-new—not-so-friendly—Spider-Girl, A.K.A. Jessica Jones in What If…? Jessica Jones #1. Then, the author of one of the greatest Spider-Man tales of all time, J.M. DeMatteis, returns alongside artist Yildiray Çinar  for a bold reimagining of the aftermath of his legendary “Kraven’s Last Hunt” storyline.
