J. Michael Straczynski’s ‘Amazing Spider-Man: Torn’ #1 announced

Superstar Spider-Man writer J.Michael Straczynski teams up with artist Pere Pérez in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: TORN, a five-issue series launching in October.

One of Spider-Man’s most legendary writers is swinging back into action this fall. J. Michael Straczynski, the acclaimed mind behind one of the most beloved runs in Amazing Spider-Man history, is back for Amazing Spider-Man: Torn—a brand-new five-issue limited series launching this October.

Straczynski is teaming up with fan-favorite artist Pere Pérez (TVA, Venom War: Carnage) to tell a story that takes readers back to Peter Parker’s college days at Empire State University. Expect appearances from Gwen Stacy, Harry Osborn, MJ, and Flash Thompson—plus classic villains and an all-new threat that could shake the Marvel Universe to its core.

While longtime fans have been hoping for JMS to return to Spidey for years, Torn offers something fresh: a gripping new chapter that dives deep into an unexplored part of Peter’s past—one that could have major implications for the present.

“JMS wrote some of my all-time favorite Spidey issues,” said Spider-Man editor Nick Lowe. “When he said he wanted to come back, I was already leaping at the opportunity—and twisting my ankle in the process! And teaming him with Pere Pérez, one of comics’ most inventive artists? We’re incredibly lucky.”

Pérez added, “As a huge fan of Spider-Man and JMS, working on this book has been a dream. The action scenes are a blast to draw, but it’s the emotional moments and character dialogue that are surprising me the most. This book has everything: heart, excitement—and yes, a new villain!”

Don’t miss the debut of Amazing Spider-Man: Torn on October 8, 2025.
