Amazing Spider-Man #1000 coming in September!
MORE FROM NERD INITIATIVE HERE!
The road to one of the most historic milestones in comic book history starts now. This September, Marvel Comics celebrates the landmark 1000th issue of Amazing Spider-Man #1000 with what promises to be one of the publisher’s most ambitious releases ever.
Leading the oversized anniversary issue is a major new story from writer Joe Kelly and artist Pepe Larraz, delivering both a defining chapter in their current run and a launching point for what comes next. The celebration will also feature a lineup of special stories from an all-star roster of legendary Spider-Man creators and contemporary fan favorites, including John Romita Jr., Frank Miller, Peach Momoko, Stuart Immonen, Brian Michael Bendis, Dan Slott, J.M. DeMatteis, Patrick Gleason, Marcos Martin, and screenwriter Noah Hawley, who makes his Marvel Comics debut.
More details about the issue will be revealed in the coming weeks, but fans can already get a first look at the main cover by John Romita Jr. and acclaimed artist Paolo Rivera, marking the duo’s first collaboration. A variant cover by Pepe Larraz also teases the arrival of a dangerous new villain known as Ravage.
In this milestone story, Spider-Man comes face-to-face with his deepest fears and a terrifying adversary unlike any he’s battled in decades. Ravage’s reality-altering power will force Peter Parker to confront questions about his own legacy in what is shaping up to be one of the hero’s most personal and defining conflicts yet. One that could influence the next thousand issues of Spider-Man storytelling.
“Writing Amazing Spider-Man #1000 has stirred up a lot of emotions for me, but gratitude is chief among them,” Kelly shared. “It’s a true honor to have the opportunity to contribute to Spidey’s legacy with a huge milestone like this. And special bonus – we get to introduce a new villain?! Amazing. Ravage is layered and complex and mysterious, and I can’t wait to unleash him on the readers with this monumental issue!”
