Marvel Comics is gearing up for 1,000 issues of Amazing Spider-Man.
While the 1,000th issue isn’t out until September, we have 2 pivotal issues coming up this summer. Issues #30 and #31 are going to have some big implications for what happens in the 1,000th issue. Now Issue #30’s description reads:
“SPIDEY VS. SPORE!
SPORE is spreading, and it’s all SPIDER-MAN’s fault! But should Peter even BE fighting in a tragedy of his own making?! And DON’T MISS the answers to an earth-shattering riddle from the battle with Torment in ASM/VENOM “Death Spiral”!”
Joe Kelly had this to say on the introduction of Spore:
“From the beginning of my run, Nick [Lowe] and I talked about a new villain that harkened back to early Amazing Spider-Man classics. Someone with science based powers, caused by a lab accident, etc. But rather than give this villain an excuse to hate Spider-Man, they would be decided anti-Peter Parker. Enter Brian Nehring, who not only has a complex childhood past with Peter, but also blames him for the accident that transforms him into Spore! Pete Woods did an amazing job on his design- creepy and modern. He’s a sick puppy… Brian, not Pete… maybe Pete.”
Meanwhile #31’s description reads:
“THE TALK…
Peter Parker’s world will never be the same. Don’t miss one of the most pivotal issues in Spider-Man history!”
Joe Kelly also had this to say about what fans can expect from #31:
“There is so much to say about this issue… it’s heartbreaking, for one. Some of the most honest and emotional stuff we’ve done. Pat Gleason delivers a powerhouse performance and captures everything I’d hoped for. It’s also one of those times where you can honestly say ‘this changes everything.’ A family secret comes to light that rocks Peter and May to foundation of their relationship. It’s huge and has ramifications well past issue #1000. I try not to oversell these sort of moments… but this is the big one.”
Amazing Spider-Man #30 is out June 3rd, and #31 releases June 17th.
