The countdown to Amazing Spider-Man #1000 continues today with new variant cover reveals! On sale September 16, the highly anticipated milestone issue, destined to take its place in comic book history, delivers both a major turning point for Joe Kelly’s run and an incredible lineup of anniversary stories celebrating Spider-Man’s legacy. As fans have been buzzing about online, the landmark issue will feature two main covers, one from each of the current run’s lead artists. Legendary artist John Romita Jr. joins acclaimed illustrator Paolo Rivera for a stunning painted cover, while modern superstar Pepe Larraz delivers a striking traditional piece. Both artists are also contributing variant covers for the issue. Larraz’s variant cover was unveiled last month, while Romita Jr.’s will be revealed next week.

Amazing Spider-Man #1000 will also feature a spectacular lineup of variant covers from some of the industry’s most celebrated artists. Revealed today are a foil variant cover by Ed McGuinness inspired by John Romita Sr.’s Amazing Spider-Man #100 cover, a dynamic new piece by Skottie Young, a stunning cover from J. Scott Campbell, a cover by Ryan Stegman spotlighting the new supervillain Ravage, and the final piece in Lee Bermejo’s acclaimed Amazing Visions cover series.

One of the issue’s special anniversary stories comes from comic book legend Larry Lieber, who helped shape the very foundation of the Marvel Universe, including work on some of Spider-Man’s earliest stories. Lieber teams up with acclaimed artist Giuseppe Camuncoli in “Of Webs and Six-Guns,” a story spotlighted on Camuncoli’s newly revealed variant cover.

Also unveiled are a MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls Variant Cover featuring Peni Parker from the upcoming game and a Marvel Animation Variant Cover showcasing an iconic scene from the original 1967 Spider-Man animated series.

Amazing Spider-Man #1000 features stories written by Joe Kelly, Noah Hawley, Frank Miller, Dan Slott, J.M. Dematteis, Brian Michael Bendis, Larry Lieber, and more.

Lobo #3

(W) Skottie Young (A) Jorge Corona

LOBO SITS DOWN! Show business and Lobo had concussive creative differences, so he and Dawg are back to bounty hunting! But the trade’s been… professionalized since the universe’s premier entertainment corporation took over, and Lobo has to get relicensed, which means a psych eval with an alien empath. Bad news for them, good news for Czarnian history buffs, who’ll get a new peek at the twilight of the civilization (a.k.a. Lobo’s childhood) and the first appearance of a heretofore unknown Green Lantern!
