Joe Kelly, Pepe Larraz, and John Romita Jr. lead a new era exploring Street Spidey and Cosmic Spidey adventures.
Spidey’s cosmic journey introduces a new character, Symbie, plus fresh threats and intergalactic companions. Larraz handles cosmic issues, Romita Jr. takes Earthbound stories, for a double track Spidey saga into 2026.

Starting in September, Amazing Spider-Man by Joe Kelly, Pepe Larraz and John Romita Jr. kicks off a long-term era starring two Spideys, one Earthbound and one galaxy-faring. So we have two Spider-Men going forward into 2026, Street Spidey and Cosmic Spidey. Well, when Jonathan Hickman calls (maybe)…

SPIDEY GOES COSMIC!
A tale of two Spider-Men…One Spider-Man swings around New York City meting out justice in an unfriendly matter. Another Spider-Man is found in a distant solar system running with strange companions, including a stranger named SYMBIE making his first appearance! The next major chapter in Spider-Man's life begins here!

"Since launching earlier this year, Joe Kelly, Pepe Larraz and John Romita Jr.'s new run of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN has been embraced by the industry and fans alike, hailed for its stellar artwork and classic—yet fresh—take on Spidey storytelling! It's only the beginning of what's shaping up to one of the most acclaimed Spidey runs in recent memory, and a major turning point is on the horizon that will take the title into a direction no one saw coming… This September, there are TWO SPIDER-MEN—one on Earth, and one in SPACE! This exciting new era kicks off in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #11, the landmark 975th issue!

Following Spider-Man's shocking showdown with new supervillain Hellgate in Amazing Spider-Man #8, something strange has happened to Peter! Now, there are two Spider-Men, but which is Peter Parker?! BOTH Previously teased in a promotional artwork by Pepe Larraz, Spider-Man will debut a new cosmic suit as he makes his way home, getting tied up in cosmic adventures and gaining new intergalactic companions—and enemies—along the way! And that's not all! Back on Earth, Spider-Man is acting different, and his brutal methods will put the entire Marvel Universe on high alert! From then on, the run will follow both Spider-Men with Larraz taking lead art duties on space-set issues and Romita Jr. drawing Spider-Man's adventures back on Earth."

"I love really grounded, Manhattan based Spider-Man stories, and I also love when he's in 'fish-out-of-water' mode. You don't get much farther from the pond than deep space. But why choose? Why not have… both? Hence, this Tale of Two Spider-Men," Kelly shared. "On either track, Spider-Man is facing down his personal demons in the wake of Hellgate's brutal debut, because no matter where Spider-Man goes he brings inner turmoil with him. There are a lot of pyrotechnics in this arc, new characters and threats, but also a ton of heart as Peter and those closest to him try to move forward with their lives in the aftermath of a devastating event."

Covers include Pepe Larraz's Promo Variant Cover that provides the first-ever look at Symbie…

>And that's not all! Back on Earth, Spider-Man is acting different, and his brutal methods will put the entire Marvel Universe on high alert!

So what should've happened during Superior Spider-Man?

>>149047132
why would that happen? he only killed someone and no one cared despite them all knowing him since he was a kid of 15

>>149047020 (OP)
So are they keeping the same numbering/bimonthly release, or is this a way to pad out the time before #1000?

Well on the bright side at least it's good to know they are not splitting up MJ or Gwen into two. Then again who knows maybe they will split up Norman into two. hmmm imagine this scenario two Norman's one good and the other evil.

>>149047020 (OP)
Didn’t they already during Nick Spencer’s run?

>>149047020 (OP)
I can't take it anymore

>>149047057
That’s the new Champions variant for Venom

sell da cumpany

>>149047132
Norman is the acting Amazing Spider-Man on earth.

gargle hobo nuts rich the leech

Red and Blue Superman

Red and blue and Golden and black Spider-Man

>>149047272
Pretty sure marvel just copied DC idea *sight* time to sue marvel by the looks of things.

>>149047020 (OP)
Only way I would accept this is if Ben Reilly is the one Spider-Man on Earth.

>>149047272
>Not Spider-Man Red and Spider-Man Blue
They had one job.

Please stop buying Spider-Man books until Lowe is kicked off. Don't even pirate them or storytime them. Just ignore them or read old Spider-Man comics.

YOU FUCKERS DID THIS ALREADY IN SPENCERS RUN! For an editing team that apparently wants you to forget the last run people liked, they sure as shit aren't afraid to recycle his plots

>>149047050
This isn't any weirder than when he was Captain Universe.

>>149047632
hell fuckin yeah, bring that nigga spencer back

>>149047632
Spencer's run was shit.

>>149047689
Get fucked Lowe

>>149047727
nah bro. The entire thing was ass. Shitters only love it because MJ and Peter are together. You could feed this morons anything and they'll eat it up as long as Peter and MJ are together. I like them together too but the ENTIRE run is garbage.

>>149047737
(You).

Didn't this just happen in Spencers run

>>149047737
>>149047689
It was but it also was better than everything since
Like the star wars prequels

>romita Jr in 2025

>>149047816
The gene splitter, Hunted, and Syndicate stuff was all good

>>149047020 (OP)
>This September, there are TWO SPIDER-MEN
Kind of rings a little hollow after having the multiverse shilled at me for so long

>>149047047
Will Peter acknowledge that his space suit is just a rip off of Miguel's but less interesting?

>>149047839
Hunted sucks

>>149047539
Sorry anon that spider landscape is just too gosh darn full for Ben to exist as anything but a shitty villain

>>149048063
Go be a pissant elsewhere

>>149047020 (OP)
That's just 2099, he even has the fucking cape. End 616 already.

>>149047737
Yeah his run was shot, and the current runs have been worse than it

>>149047737
I wouldn't say the entire run was shit but it's certainly not as good as people like to claim. Being surrounded by Slott and Wells's runs make it seem better than it actually is

>>149047020 (OP)
Insane

>>149048947
And pretty dumb I think this the final nail in the coffin for ASM.

R.I.P.

>>149048177
It was perfectly fine and it did the best job it could of trying to fix things considering what a mess of Spider-Man the preceding decade of comics had made things. It was only at the end when Lowe decided to start actively fucking over Spencer and pushed him off the book that it went to shit.

>>149047839
>Hunted
>good
The actual story was serviceable at best, and then it gets knocked down a solid few pegs by the Snowball II bullshit

>>149047020 (OP)
Alright, yeah. I mean, it's stupid, but it's proper comic book stupid instead of just stupid-stupid. It's not something to look forward to but it's kinda refreshing to do something that--while not conceptually new--might be totally disconnected from the kind of bullshit that's been happening for a while now. Like this isn't the kind of "ooo are we gonna service the fans or give a middle finger to them" nonsense that much of the past few runs have been all about, this is just a dumb comic book story. Might be fun.

>>149047050
That's pretty much most superhero comics ever.

>>149049376
I don't give a shit about Spidey in Space. This is just stupid. Not stupid in a good way, stupid in a stupid way.

>>149049617
Yeah, but you're not hating Spidey in Space, you just don't give a shit about it. It's stupid but not stupid-stupid.

I'm seeing double, seventy Spider-Mans?

>>149047727
>>149047632
marywhorecucks are delusional as always

>There's just no room for a clone of Spider-Man any more
>Here's our newest storyline! Spider-Man is cloned!

>>149047020 (OP)
There's many good plots you can make about a space Spider-Man and I can tell this is a horrible one

>>149050222
Polish pedophiles are nonsensical as always...

>>149050247
I actually think it is Ben desu. Peter is lost in space and he took his place.

>>149050578
Hadn't even considered that. They did say the Spider-Man on earth is being more brutal, which lines up with how shit Chasm is.
I feel like I just got monkey pawed

>>149050578
>>149048077
That would be efficient. Ben's in a heel phase, so his Spider-Maning could draw negative attention.

>>149050596
Yeah, I'm not exactly a big fan of it either if it is the case. Though they could maybe spin it as a long form redemption arc for the character. He gets what he wants, doesn't know what to do anymore, and realizes he doesn't actually want it. Basically, Megamind.
It's not too likely I know, but it's not impossible either. They pushed Jackpot for a hot minute until her mini series with Black Cat tanked. Considering the Chasm mini also sold poorly the same thing could potentially happen here. I would keep expectations low though just in case.

>>149050578
>>149050596
I don't buy it, this would be putting Ben back into a role Spider-Office 100% rejects. Bet this is just a rehash of the split during Spencer, probably Lowe's idea.

Anyone else remember when Wells briefly mentioned he'd have an arc in space?

>>149051102
>I don't buy it, this would be putting Ben back into a role Spider-Office 100% rejects
Having Ben be evil Spider-Man for a while is absolutely a role that Lowe would approve of. The last we saw of Ben was him quadrupling down on wanting to steal Peter's life

>>149051174
And before that he was shaking down kids in a subway. Why would he care about dispensing justice?

>>149051185
Dude, has Chasm's characterization *ever* been consistent? Asides from it being bad, that is? I don't think they care.

>>149051185
And before that he was stealing mind control devices and before that he was trying to take over Limbo.
They've got no idea what they want to do with Ben, the only consistent point is character assassination

So now it's Kaine's turn to be Spider-man Well done!!

>>149051288
He's been Spider-Man before...

Man, Ben could learn from Kaine and avoid wearing the webs. It never ends well when you're a clone of Peter. Stick to Scarlet Spider bro

>>149047727
Will there ever be a Spidey writer that editorial won't be able to ruin?

>>149049391
This

>Spider-Men in space

I guess this is the ASM plot they derailed Spectacular Spider-Men for.

Spider-Man used to be my favorite superhero ever. Zorro, Superman, Batman, Power Rangers and TMNT were all runner-ups depending on a time period but this used to be consistent.
Now "not this shit again" is my default reaction to all things Spider-Man.

>>149051493
zorro isnt a superhero you retard

Will his dick be split in half too?

>>149052131
Spider-Dick Red and Blue

>>149047020 (OP)
>>149047047
I hate everything written there but special mention to the claim that this run is beloved by fans when that's clearly Nu-ultimate SP.

>>149047020 (OP)
It would be interesting if Cosmic Spider-man was over the top Stan Lee side Spider-man while normal Spider-man was grounded Dikto side, but I doubt this will happen.

>>149047047
KAINE AS SPIDER-MAN? Ok I'm sold.

>>149050222
Shut up.

>>149047192
Exactly what I was thinking

>>149047020 (OP)
They trying to work Spider-Man: Unlimited into canon?

>>149047020 (OP)
>Joe, the sales numbers are dropping! Time for your editorially mandated Spider-Clone!

>>149047737
>>149047689
The only fags who say this are the BND retards. We finally got Spider-characters' voice and acting consistent with their original selves pre OMD in that run, and we lost it again once BND cultists took over. It is not just Peter and MJ, it's every fucking character

>>149047020 (OP)
Oh hey, that thing that works every time and isn't universally hated whenever they do it.

>>149047020 (OP)
> Not Spider-Man Red and Blue
Wasted.

>>149049391
But not Spider-Man

>>149049376
My thoughts exactly. Kind of sad to see people so burnt out by modern Spider-Man writing that even something relatively harmless is met with disgust.

>>149053356
I was thinking that too.

Man I just want to get back into spider-man but having two BND writers in a row is tough

>>149054312
>Man I just want to get back into spider-man
Why would you do that to yourself, there's nothing here for you.

>>149047050
You’re just going to bitch about Spider-man no matter what they do, aren’t you.

Let's just except Spider-Man has never been a good character except in games and the occasional movie or cartoon. Can't digest the concept of a story about a regular ass guy that sucks being a superhero in a world of competent and chad superheroes who know how to pull off a duel identity and fight bad guys better than he does.

I simply want every OMD and BND related chimpanzee fired from marvel and blacklisted from there

>>149050525
Anything but Minus One, I suppose
