“This is the single most seismic shift in Spider-Man’s
history—and it’s not something that will disappear any time soon,” said Axel
Alonso, Editor in Chief, Marvel Entertainment. “When Spider-Man editor Steve
Wacker and writer Dan Slott came to us with this story, it was clear that this
was a long term plan crafted with the utmost love and respect for the
character. This is the kind of story that will have fans up in arms—but also
coming back to the comic stores to check out each new exciting issue.”
On January 9th, Marvel launches Superior Spider-Man #1,
an all-new ongoing series from Slott and superstar artist Ryan Stegman
(Fantastic Four, Scarlet Spider)! Shipping twice-monthly, Superior Spider-Man
launches a new chapter in the Marvel mythos, as Doctor Octopus strikes out on
his own to be the greatest Spider-Man this world has ever known. But can he
keep up the ruse? Will Spidey’s closest allies discover the fate of Peter
Parker? And can this Spider-Man truly be a hero?
“The magic formula Stan Lee, Steve Ditko, and John Romita
Sr. created, which set Spider-Man apart from all the other heroes, was ‘Super
Hero Meets Soap Opera.’ But every now and then, you hit a milestone like
Spidey’s 700th issue, his 50th anniversary, or a line-wide relaunch like Marvel
NOW!. And when ALL three of those things align so perfectly, you HAVE to go
BIG!” said Slott. “Instead of just Soap Opera you go for HIGH OPERA!
Spider-Man’s greatest villain! His biggest threat! Impossible odds! Life or
death! And that’s Amazing Spider-Man #700”
Introduced in 1962 as part of Amazing Fantasy #15, Peter
Parker and his alter-ego Spider-Man immediately captivated readers, quickly
leading to the debut of the Amazing Spider-Man comic series. Since then,
Spider-Man has appeared in multiple television series, movies and video games,
developing into one of the most beloved and recognized Super Heroes in the
world. The events of Amazing Spider-Man #700 not only bring this landmark
series to a conclusion, but also mark the end of Peter Parker’s tenure as the
iconic Marvel Super Hero.
