Peter Parker will return as Spider-Man this April with the all-new Amazing Spider-Man #1
We all knew it would happen eventually, but Peter Parker WILL return as Spider-Man this spring with The Amazing Spider-Man #1 by Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos. The timing, of course, is no accident, as a fresh first issue and the return of the one true Spider-Man will happen just in time for the hype machine for the new Spider-Man movie, Amazing Spider-Man 2, to kick into full gear.
“We’ve gone over 30 issues without Peter Parker, so when we let him out of that box and he gets to put on that costume again and he gets to swing through the sky, it’s going to be the greatest feeling,” Dan Slott told The Daily News, “But there’s a twist. There’s always a twist.”
Mr. Slott is known for twists. After all, nobody would have expected him to "kill" Peter Parker in the first place, let alone replace his consciousness with that of Doctor Octopus. While initially raising serious fan outcry, Superior Spider-Man has been an incredibly fun ride over the last year, simultaneously elevating Doctor Octopus even further in the pantheon of great villains while shaking up some of the occasionally stale, formulaic aspects of Spider-Man stories.
Spidey's new costumes were kinda cool, too...but you can't top the classic, and as you can see from the cover of Amazing Spider-Man #1, Peter is back in his red & blues!
