It's been over a month since "Spider-Man: No Way Home" hit cinemas and changed the game for the wallcrawler and his world - the multiverse is real in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and that adventure alongside Doctor Strange brought out not just classic villains from past Spider-Man movies, but the first two live-action wallcrawlers from those universes as well!

Sitting down with host Pete Hammond on a zoom chat, Spider-Man actors Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire, and Andrew Garfield finally talked about their epic adventure together in the third and final installment of the "Homecoming Trilogy" directed by Jon Watts, as well as their own respective feelings and experiences of playing the wallcrawler in cinemas!

John Romita Jr. returns to The Amazing Spider-Man with relaunched series this April

 

One of the longest working artists in the comic book industry reunites with a certain friendly neighborhood wallcrawler just in time for his 60th anniversary, as Marvel officially announces that John Romita Jr. is joining writer Zeb Wells for the relaunch of The Amazing Spider-Man series - beginning with a new issue #1 that launches this April!

According to Marvel, both Wells and JRJR will be exploring a new storyline that asks the question: "WHAT DID SPIDER-MAN DO?" Here's the overview of what to expect from Marvel themselves.

Arriving in April, Wells and Romita Jr.’s run will house all the classic elements fans love about Peter Parker, surprising new takes on your favorite Spider-Man foes, and the answer to the question that will be on everyone’s mind: WHAT DID SPIDER-MAN DO? 

Peter’s on the outs with the FF. He’s on the outs with the Avengers. He’s even on the outs with Aunt May! After a terrible and mysterious incident, no one wants to see Spider-Man – except for Doctor Octopus. Ock’s on Spider-Man’s tail and the Master Planner has something truly terrible planned for when he gets his tentacles on Spidey. All that, and Tombstone makes a move that will remind readers why he’s one of Spider-Man’s most terrifying villains…

Ben Reilly returns to take back the mantle of Spider-Man with October's The Amazing Spider-Man #75

 

Get ready to go deja vu with the 1990's, as a fan-favorite character and former Scarlet Spider will once again return to take back to the mantle of Spider-Man this October! After Nick Spencer's run on Amazing Spider-Man concludes this September, Ben Reilly will lay claim to becoming THE Spider-Man in the pages of "The Amazing Spider-Man #75" - with the creative team of Zeb Wells, Kelly Thompson, Saladin Ahmed, Cody Ziglar, and Patrick Gleason - and the book will be three times a month to boot!

With the backing of the Beyond Corporation and a new drive to become the webslinging hero once more, Ben's tenure as Spidey again will no doubt bring another tangled web to the life of Peter Parker. Since his return as The Jackal in the Clone Conspiracy and then a redemption arc and return as the Scarlet Spider, it's going to be quite the new storyline with Peter's clone out to prove he's the best Spider-Man - period.

Read more about this story via Marvel, and watch out for the sneak peek of things to come this August when Free Comic Book Day 2021: Spider-Man/ Venom takes a look at this new spectacular development!

It's the end of another era of Spider-Man comics, as Nick Spencer concludes his 3 year run on The Amazing Spider-Man with "The Amazing Spider-Man #74", which is also ASM #875 in the legacy run numbering.

According to Newsarama and Marvel, the issue will be a milestone event - as it will be a whopping 80 pages and looks to set up Peter Parker's "next high-flying era" in comics as it will be an ending and beginning for the character under Spencer's tenure as writer.

We'll just have to wait and see how this all plays out when ASM #74 hits shelves this September.

Heads Up: The Amazing Spider-Man #60 hits this week and SPOILERS are crawling up the interwebz

 

For those of you still following Marvel Comics and the events of The Amazing Spider-Man, writer Nick Spencer has done a pretty big spectacular job in bringing some new twists and turns to Peter Parker and his webslinging alter ego in the past few years since he took over the run... And the introduction and revelation of who Kindred is happened a couple of issues ago that literally sent ramifications down the life of our friendly neighborhood wallcrawler.

That being said, this week marks the release of The Amazing Spider-Man #60 (or ASM #861 for legacy number followers) - and it's another BIG STEP to what could potentially address and undo one of the most controversial Spider-Man stories in the past decade - namely "One More Day" and the reset button where Peter's marriage to Mary Jane was undone.

Consider this your SPOILER WARNING. Comic Book Movie has an article that spoils what the BIG STEP is. Tread lightly and check it out only if you're curious.

The Amazing Spider-Man #60 hits comic stores this Wednesday, February 24.

Happy Spider-Man Day! Marvel celebrates with Spidey costume restrospective video

If you're a big webslinger fan like me and most of the world, you'd know this week is officially "Spider-Man Day" celebration - as the wallcrawler made his first appearance in "Amazing Fantasy #15" in August of 1962 and was created of course by the legendary Stan Lee and Steve Ditko! Marvel celebrates by honoring the MANY COSTUMES that Peter Parker and his legacy have donned through the years in this video called "Spider-Man's Top 10 Costumes"!

Spider-Man's Top 10 Costumes!

Marvel announces "Ben Reilly: The Scarlet Spider" for April

After being revealed as the newest incarnation of The Jackal during the events of the currently ongoing "The Clone Conspiracy" storyline, returning Spider-Man clone character Ben Reilly is set to officially embrace his roots and adopt his Scarlet Spider persona once more as Marvel reveals "Ben Reilly: The Scarlet Spider" - a new ongoing that features the already announced team of writer Peter David and artist Mark Bagley.

Featuring a new costume that is decidedly mixed in elements and opinion (see Bleeding Cool), Ben Reilly's return to his Scarlet Spider identity won't be a fully heroic one, as he is still set to wrestle with his demons coming fresh from his other persona of The Jackal. " Even Peter David, through an interview with Comic Book Resources, gave a pretty apt description of his thoughts writing the character:

"He has his Scarlet Spider identity on one shoulder, urging him to follow his better angels, and the Jackal on the other hand, trying to get him to return to the path that led him to disaster. He’s trapped in the middle, endeavoring to balance the two. Of all the characters I’ve written who are having identity problems — and God knows, I’ve done a few — Ben is easily the most unhinged."

Reilly won't be the only one highlighting the book, as his brother and other Scarlet Spider Kaine will be there too as a supporting character. How this comeback will affect Peter Parker/ Spider-Man is still a mystery, but expect Ben to swing back into the webs when "Ben Reilly: The Scarlet Spider" hits shops and newsstands this April!

Jimmy Kimmel Live: Andrew Garfield returns as Spider-Man (Sort Of) in an upcoming segment!

In a move that pretty much covers "Throwback Thursday" and will entertain fans who miss the actor playing a certain webslinging hero, Andrew Garfield will be appearing in this week's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" to return as Spider-Man (sort of) in a bit that was teased by Kimmel in Twitter:

Our favorite Hollywood Blvd. Spider-Man, Andrew Garfield TONIGHT! pic.twitter.com/dro940viCN

— Jimmy Kimmel Live (@JimmyKimmelLive) October 27, 2016

While Tom Holland is now THE Spider-Man for the Marvel Cinematic Universe and will be appearing next in his own solo film with "Spider-Man Homecoming" next year, Andrew Garfield has moved on to bigger and brighter things in Hollywood, which includes the Mel Gibson film "Hacksaw Ridge".

Either way, can't wait to see the former Spidey in this segment!

Remembering 9/11 15 Years Later... The Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 2 #36

Today marks 15 years since "9/11" happened in 2001... And it will be forever a day where we will "Never Forget" the heroism and sacrifices so many made that day. People tried stood tall in the face of adversity and hopelessness... And one of the comics that paid tribute and remembered that day of shock and tragedy was Marvel's "The Amazing Spider-Man" - which printed a black covered issue released on December of that year and had its story titled "Stand Tall".

A lot can be summed about that issue in its way to depict the aftermath of the attacks that saw the destruction of the twin towers and many souls lost - heroes like Spidey in the story gathered to help their fellowmen and try to save as many lives and comfort those who were in dire shock. However, it was also a story penned by J. Michael Straczynski and drawn by John Romita Jr. that honored those real life policemen, firemen, and soldiers - brave souls who answered the call to just make a difference and help the victims of that horrible event. Literally - everyone "Stood Tall"... And it brought everyone together because of the terror that hit innocents unexpectedly.

We Remember 9/11... Never Forget.

The Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows: Meet the Spider-Man Family in cover to issue #1

AMAZING TIMES are ahead for Spider-Man fans who enjoyed the Secret Wars miniseries "The Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows", as that alternate universe featuring a still married Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson-Parker alone with their daughter Annie are coming back this fall, with writer Gerry Conway and artist Ryan Stegman taking their adventures as a family forward and putting them all in costume!

Seen first at Comic Book.com and featured at CBR, above is the cover to ASM: Renew Your Vows #1 - drawn by Stegman and featuring the Parker family in Spider suits!

Happy Birthday Andrew Garfield, aka the former "The Amazing Spider-Man"!

The world already has a new Spider-Man for cinema with Tom Holland, who made his debut with this year's "Captain America: Civil War", but before the young man stepped to the plate and prior to Sony Pictures making a deal with Marvel to put the webhead in the MCU, there was Andrew Garfield... Who played Peter Parker/ Spider-Man in two films by Marc Webb in 2012 and 2014 respectively, and today is his birthday!

The Amazing Spider-Man 2: The First 10 Minutes
It's literally a shame that he could not wrap up his tenure as the wallcrawler properly after "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "The Amazing Spider-Man 2", but Garfield - who also starred in "The Social Network" has since moved on past his heroic identity to play other roles in film - including the upcoming Mel Gibson film "Hacksaw Ridge". He may not be Spidey anymore, but his time was fun nonetheless along with Emma Stone's Gwen Stacy! Happy Birthday, Andrew Garfield!

Alex Ross reveals cover to "Amazing Spider-Man #20" - DOC OCK LIVES AGAIN

Looks like a familiar Spider-Man villain is making his long awaited return from the dead, as Alex Ross revealed via his Facebook page his amazing cover to Marvel's "Amazing Spider-Man #20" - which shows Doctor Octopus back in his own body and tearing the mask of the webslinger apart!

While no details on exactly how Doc Ock comes back has been revealed, those who follow current ASM series written by Dan Slott know that after seemingly sacrificing his brain to restore Peter Parker back to his own body during the events of "Superior Spider-Man", Ock was able to make a back up of his mind in the robotic body of the "Living Brain". With the major Spidey event "Dead No More" fast approaching, it's a no brainer that Otto Octavius will return as a result of the events of that storyline.

Captain America: Civil War: Trailer #2 pops up... AND TOM HOLLAND'S SPIDER-MAN APPEARS!!!!

As promised, Marvel Entertainment has literally dropped the bombshell of a new trailer for their next Marvel Cinematic Universe film feature which is "Captain America: Civil War"... And they've saved the best for last this time, as they've shown the reveal everyone's been waiting for... Tom Holland IN COSTUME as the MCU's "Amazing Spider-Man"!


Marvel's Captain America: Civil War - Trailer 2
Also on a side note, NOW IT MAKES SENSE why the "All-New, All-Different" Spider-Man in the current Marvel Comics Universe looks the way he is... BECAUSE ELEMENTS APPLY TO THE MCU VERSION.

Also honoring John Romita's classic artstyle to boot... This may be the Spider-Man we've been all waiting for! Can't wait!

Captain America: Civil War hits theaters on May 6 in the US!

Spider-Man Animated Movie coming in 2018

Looks like everyone's favorite wall-crawling superhero's coming back in all types in mediums in the next few years, as a new report from Variety states that "The Lego Movie" directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller are being tapped to direct an "Animated Spider-Man Movie" for 2018. This follows the sensational deal that Marvel and Sony made to bring the wallcrawler to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in which a new Spider-Man live-action film starring a young Peter Parker will be released on July 28, 2017.

There's no news yet on the plot of the animated feature, only that it will "co-exist" with the live-action films, but stand on its own and exist independently as well. For more on the story, visit Comic Book Resources and Variety!

The animated Spider-Man movie is expected to swing into theaters on July 20, 2018.

Rumor: Sony reportedly planning an "Aunt May" spinoff for Spider-Man film franchise

Looks like Peter Parker's favorite lady and mother figure is getting her own film, if rumors are to be believed...

According to a report from Latino-Review, an "Aunt May" film is apparently in the works, featuring May Reilly Parker -  the caring and loving aunt who along with her late husband Ben Parker raises young Peter Parker as surrogate parents following the disappearance and demise of his parents.

It is this loving presence combined with Ben's "Great Power, Great Responsibility" message that instilled Peter with the principles and strength to become a compassionate figure and hero, which is the driving force behind his alter ego as The Amazing Spider-Man.

Spinning out of The Amazing Spider-Man film franchise, the "Aunt May" film will apparently concentrate on the character's younger days, much similar to how Marvel Studios is driving down the post-WWII era with Hayley Atwell playing Steve Rogers/ Captain America's love interest from that period, Agent Peggy Carter in the upcoming "Agent Carter" TV Series. Whether this will involve Sally Field during present day sequences or not is still up in the air, but for more information on the story, visit Cinema Blend and the source post at Latino-Review.

Hopefully, it does not go for this storyline though.
