>The monumental 1000th issue of 'Amazing Spider-Man' arrives this September. Official unveiling tomorrow.>https://x.com/i/status/2056834787654926834
>>153752485>the next closest book to 1000 is Thor or hulk>they’re barely in the 800s so it’ll take another decade and a half at the earliestIt’s funny that marvel will likely shutter before another one of their books hits this milestone
This has been depressingly anti climactic. They should have been plotting something big since they first hit 900. You know what we're gonna get? A shit anthology that rehashes old stories in a saccharine way. You remember the superman crossover? Remember how it referenced older moments!?
>>153752485[Spoilers]It's going to be shit.[/spoilers]
I hope it's bad. Spider-Man fans are the worst comic fans and they deserve to suffer. Spider-Boomers, I hate them
>>153752485
>>153752485>The big 1K issue of ASM>Zero hype because everyone is fed up with Lowe's trickeries
>>153752485Unless they retcon One More Day, I don't care.
>>153752562No it's worse it's gonna be about peters mystery cousin they just introduced a bit ago
>>153752681Lowe has ruined 16 years worth of anniversary issues
>>153752620next time just hit CTRL+S
>>153752562You should be grateful if it's just that bad, if they actually tried to build up to something you know it would fucking dogshit like everything else they do
>>153752780They have but only since like 992
>>153752541Thor isn't even at 800 yet, that happens in September at least, the Alex Ross cover is pretty cool
Unless they celebrate by clearing house, there's nothing to celebrate.
>>153752541Why are numbers so screwy anyway?
>>153752485It's sad that a character with so many good, old runs and stories will have an underwhelming special issue. His most special issue
>>153752485is the issue spiderman becomes real and kills everyone at editorial that keeps giving him the dumbest fucking shit
>>153752944>Why are numbers so screwy anyway?Well Thor was originally in Journey into Mystery, so when it became a full time Thor book they changed the title but kept the numbering. Let that sink in for a minute.
>>153753100But that didn't occur with ASM from Amazing Fantasy,Did it occur with Hulk with Tales to Astonish, switched to Incredible Hulk?
>>153753163>But that didn't occur with ASM from Amazing FantasyI was thinking the same the other day, I'm glad that they kept the Amazing
>>153752629You clearly have never met a Batman fan.
>>153753163>>153753201Spider Man didn't take over Amazing Fantasy. Amazing Spider-man launched as it's own book.
>>153752868Really? I thought journey into mystery was continually released since the 50s. So it’s hulk and cap I guess>>153752944Consolidation of titles and the last 30 years of constant remembering chasing that issue one bump. Captain americas first hundred issues in his legacy numbering was another comic until they gave it to him, I never understood why
>>153753245I know anon, I remember the first 15 ASM issued. But I don't know why it was different with other titles
>>153753279Captain America even further behind at the most recent issue being #782, so at least a couple of years away from #800
>>153753353>But I don't know why it was different with other titlesSpidey was that big of a draw. They probably wanted more assurance before they committed.
>>153753353I’ve read a few of them, they were just anthologies of different types of stories. I assume they just gave Pete his own number 1 because it was a simpler way to run with the recent success of the character. Also 15 is a weird number to start at, the other tales books all had a hundred or so issues under them and probably just wanted to make sure that those newer books looked better on the shelves next to Batman and Superman which both would’ve been to almost 200 issues by the early 60s
>>153752780>You should be grateful if it's just that badYou're insane.
>>153752485Petra Parker
>>153752485So, just to recap: they're going to kill Peter and have Miles replace him. That's what they've been planning for over 10 years. What will our game plan be once they do it?
>>153754283I will simply do nothing.
>>153752748This is true. 600-900 has been dogshit.Also reminder, but I'm gonna write a book, it might be successful and if that happens, then I'll weasel my way into Marvel and erase every issue since Civil War started and before he even revealed his identity. So we'll start like the 500's. And that will be the cue for myself and future writers that we will reach the true "1000." Instead of the fucked way they counted the issues for Marvel Legacy where they renamed ASM to Superior and counted those as well as RYV issues. I know the canon/story was morphed around those but technically those aren't ASM issues so this whole numbering is fake and gay. Yep, I'm gonna pull a Brevoort on Lowe and Brevoort's whole entire legacy. Might as well erase Disassembled and start all the other books back to their numbering at that time as well.
>>153752971It's not the true issue. Mark my words, somebody is gonna erase these faggots from Spider-Man's history.
>>153752620Every comic is shit.
>>153754283I hate Spider-Man fans so much it's unreal.
>>153752485It will be shit. No worse then thatShit at least has valueThis wont be worth the cheap paper its printed on.
>>153754334No. But spiderman has been shit for decades now.
Would it be too much to ask for Spider-Man to get some forward momentum and not spend another two decades as a modern day Sisyphus
>>153754393You'd think there'd at least be some satellite book or off canon thing that's half decent. I mean Marvel Adventures was pretty good but that ended in like 2012
>>153752712and nobody cares about marywhorefags
>issue 1000 of TASM will be dedicated to a random OC son of Aunt May introduced in the background five issues earlierIt’s Detective Comics 1000 and Arkham Knight all over again.No, it’s worse than that. You’re going to have every page riddled with Nick Lowe’s stupid little editor blurbs, just like what happened in Spider-Man versus Godzilla. the only thing that could excite me at this point is Nick Lowe beating assaulted in the street.
>>153754322Wait, they counted RYV toward the legacy issue number? Just the Secret War mini or the on-going series too?
Paul was the coolest guy you fucking chud. He will haunt the narrative for at least five years, maybe ten
It was two fucking years and he was the last man on earth you incels, no this doesn't count as my NTR fantasy. This is a normal scenario to put a love interest into
Please ban Spider-Man threads. It's nothing but whining, retards with victim complexes, and shitposting.
>>153754536You'll get good threads when you fix the damn book!
>>153754393When has there ever been good media at any point in human history?Never. Nothing makes me happy anymore. That's why I only enjoy porn.
Erm sorry spider-inserters but it’s none of your business that I teased the idea of fucking your high school bully. Still not a NTR fantasy btw, Nick Lowe is definitely not a cuck and Zeb Wells definitely didn’t insert his decaying marriage and divorce with the SNL woman into a character that hadn’t been married in nearly two decadesJust hurry up and buy the issue 1000 variants already you fucking assholes
>>153754567
>>153752485Didn’t they say it was going to be Aunt May focused?
>>153754507>>153754526I know you're trying to fulfill your cuck fantasy but this just reads like Ewing trying to salvage MJ as a character. It's very obviously drawing parallels to the DeFalco issue where he did the same after Wolfman ruined her
>>153752485Spider-Man has had more bad comics than good comics at this point.
>>153754536I'd rather all the animated cartoon and live action threads were banned before any comic book threads.
>>153754536So when you look at the absolute state of the /co/ catalog your first thought is "Spider-Man threads are ruining this board"?
>>153754885Yes.
>>153754283Good. Peter sold his marriage and unborn daughter to Satan
>>153754403>not spend another two decades as a modern day SisyphusOne must imagine Peter Parker happy
There is nobody who likes this shit. Not a single person on 4chan, Reddit, or Twitter expresses any joy for the direction they’ve taken TASM in ever since the fucking Zeb Wells run. Issue one thousand is coming out and the most positive emotion anyone can muster for it is apathy. And there is zero sign that anyone at Disney gives a single fuck that they’ve shot their prized pony in the leg. What the fuck did we do to deserve any of this? Why are they doing this to me?
>>153754403Nope because then the marvel writers and editors can't relate to him
>>153753163>>153753353I'm pretty sure Amazing Fantasy 15 was the last issue of that magazineAmazing Spider-Man 1 came out like six months later
>>153754978They make peter be what they think of their audience. A perpetual man child who can't do anything right. Who no one likes.
>>153754978it's amazing to me that we're already at 1000. feels like zeb's nothingburger 900 issue wasn't that long ago
>>153755108Ouch. But I guess youre right. Why in the shit should people sit around and be indirectly insulted by the entertainment they are supposed to enjoy. I fhink im done.
>>153752485>Next era will be trying to relaunch a new version of brand new day>Hellgate and Peter fight drags on here till the threat revealed is peters cousin.>Peters cousin having done deals with mephisto to gain the success he's gotten in life plans to bring a demonic invasion to New York.>Peter and the heros fail to stop him resulting in a majority of the deaths seen in 8 deaths. Almost all the side cast and spider people die here.>Peter then juices up with the serum he got from his space adventure to barely beat his cousin.>Mephisto then approaches peter with a deal, he can rewind the invasion all the deaths in exchange for everyones memories of him >Peter reluctantly agrees leading to the collective world except his cousin(who is now peters new archnemsis taking the place of old Norman)>Peter now has to restart his life with no one remembering who he is and building up a whole new side cast of random friends
>>153752485Can't wait to see how they'll cuck Peter THIS time!
>>153753387>>153753772I think they were planning to replace Amazing Fantasy with Amazing Spider-Man before AF #15 was even published, before they even knew he'd be a success on that level. Some of the other books that started out as anthology titles like Tales of Suspense and Tales to Astonish rebranded with the #100, while Journey Into Mystery and Strange Tales just rebrand on random issues after years. Strange Tales becomes Dr Strange from #169 in 1968, but Marvel also brings back Strange Tales from #169 in 1973, they've been doing stupid things with the numbering since that long ago.
>>153752485You know what they should do for issue 1000?Bring Paul back to life.
>>153754436Pic rel.Yeah the mini.Slott is a fag. Nigger should go back to Britain and larp that he's british like the fruit he is.
>>153754283>>153754307>>153754349>>153754936They're really making it seems that dealing with Mephisto is optional for Peter Parker while anyone else who wants to be Spider-Man must go through Mephisto. Winderbaum and Bendis are going to sell Miles to Mephisto in MCU.
I want 1000 to bomb. That is all.
>>153756303Seems unlikely. 1000 is speculator bait and what stores might order more of even if they don't sell.
>>153756429I know. But...that is what I want.....
>>153753859No, I see his reasoning.Insane thinking for insane times.
>>153756303Never going to happen.
>>153754978Disney barely care about the comics, at best they exist as spec scipts and stock asset materials. They care about the movies and selling spider-man underoos.
>>153755251is this real?
>>153756812Mephisto is Milesfags' problem so no.
>>153752485>Bendis is writing it>It will just be Trouble 2.0 with Peter's secret cousin having a better life than him in a "road not taken" sense before he blackmails and/or tries to kill May and/or Peter and turns out to be a complete sack of shit as Peter's coping over having a shitty life kicks in and he becomes grateful for it after all then it will be retconned in 5-7 years that he wasn't Peter's secret cousin after all and it was another Chameleon robot, a another clone, Mysterio fucking with him or some other stupid bullshit.
>>153755251This is incredibly plausible and would fucking suck.
>>153754526*4 years (ironically as long as Wells' shitty run lasted IRL).
>>153752485Do we really need ANOTHER secret family member?Peter already has a secret agent sister.Why don’t they do something with that?
>>153754978Brevoort on his Substack openly admitted last year that Disney doesn't give a fuck about the comics beyond them being testing grounds for MCU story concepts and merch sales for toys when Spider-Man puts on a different costume for one issue like in 8 Deaths.
>>153755108Projection from editorial at its finest but given their egos its not all that surprising.
>>153756489Best case scenario is that post-1,000 high wanes and sales drop like a stone in a lake causing Disney to go apeshit on Marvel and gut their staff top-to-bottom.
>>153757140Even if Marvel did do a clean room sweep of the entire comics wing they'd just hire in even more movie focused loyalists, it'd get even worse.
>>153752485I'm not excited.
>>153757202Perhaps. Though maybe some of them will be quite retarded and not know much about comics but they might be passionate and willing to experiment rather than be soulless husks. I dunno much about who from that side would be shifted over.
>>153757004Because editorial thinks girls are gross and have cooties, that's why.
>>153756303It’s the last big seller that marvel has to abuse there is nothing they have after it to trick people into buying. It’s why they’ve pushed this to happen a decade earlier than it should be happening. Honestly the smartest move to make is to release the issue as the last amazing issue and bring spectacular back as the main book since it’s over 300 issues, then when (or more than likely if) hulk or whatever gets close enough to 1000 bring it back
>>153758733Man, why are so many anons telling me all the shit I already know when I just wanted to say I wanted it to bomb?Also suggesting that they planned this in a decade is ludicrous. It's not gonna sell that well, it's happening faster because they wanted those short term triple shipping "profits." If they thought this shit was gonna do gangbusters they would have done more of those other 1000 issues like Marvel 1000 or Amazing Fantasy 1000. Man, those were postively jewish on their part.
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>153759558It is as the prophecy foretold...
>>153759558Bendisbros it's time to save Spider-Man
>>153759558Yeah after the crossover issues, it's not surprising he's in this as well. But if he becomes the new ASM writer for the book after it is rebooted presumably so he can set up another universe or status quo, hopefully he Bendis's his Bendis and the book tanks, Ult (2000) as a book tanks in reputation, and Miles gets retired.
>>153759558I embrace accelerationism.
>>153759558Just sell Miles Morales to Mephisto in MCU and get this over with Bendis.
>>153752485I don't care
>>153759558
>>153760232I think what makes me the most upset is my inability to even be upset.
>>153757004They recently deconfirmed her being his sister in Guggenheim's Spider-Man and Wolverine series. She was swept under the rug so quickly afterwards that I assume either Guggenheim or someone above him made it their goal to get rid of Peter's long lost sister. I doubt his cousin will have any lasting impact on the comics.
>>153752562>You know what we're gonna get?diversity morales shit probably
>>153752485Best possible outcome for the new era.
>>153762111Why would that version of Gwen care? This image is nonsense.
>>153762127gwen was made for seething
>>153753245Yes and noFor postage reasons, Amazing Spider-Man is on a catalog level at least a continuation of Amazing Fantasy, but that's more post office trivia than comics trivia. It is almost certainly why it is Amazing Spider-Man and not just adjective less.
>>153752485Will I get to see roommate Michele again?
>>153763176All of you're favourites are coming back such as>Michele Gonzales>Vin Gonzales>Carlie Cooper>Anna Maria Marconi>Norah Winters>Max Modell>Grady Scraps>Sajani Jaffery
>People are already whining that it’s going to be bad because muh #1000 has to be super duper extra special extravaganza where just flipping pages gives you orgasm and nothing is ever going to meet such ridiculous high expectations At this point Spider-man fans seem to be more interested in wallowing in their own self-made imaginary misery than actually reading comics
>>153763273For the record I'm whining that it's going to be bad because 600, 700, 800, and 900 were all bad. It's just basic pattern recognition.
>>153763273See >>153759887
>>153752485If they ensure no Slott, I'm gonna buy it multiple times. If there is Slott not buying even if they undo OMD
>>153762111this is such a shit art, should have left it at lines why'd the retard colour this in.
>>153763307Or just your own personal shit taste
>>153763307Why would any anniversary issue be any different? It’s a fucking round number. Why can’t you just enjoy simple stories? Why does every milestone have to be some goddamn mega event?
Be kind to Marvel employees, morale is low with the layoffs.
>>153763270Just Michele and I'll be satisfied.
>>153763370Where did I say it has to be a mega event? I just said the last four milestones were shit. If it helps I'll also add that issues 900 until now have also been shit, which further adds to the sense of impending disappointment.
>>153763270What about Shocker ;_;
>>153763409So what would a milestone issue be like if not just basically short stories and maybe introducing some plot thread at the end? WTF does it need to be?
>>153763437Some major impact on the status quo or significant story beat.
>>153763409Sounds like you just can’t enjoy anything.
>>153763423He's hanging out with Abe now
>>153763437>WTF does it need to be?Good.
>>153763176no
>>153763630Then it's automatically garbage, I'm afraid.
>>153763273It's gonna be shit because the last 20+ years of Spider-man have been shit and nothing has changed. If it's a huge game changing even or just short stories celebrating the character, either way it would be shit because everything these hacks do is shit.
>>153763721Superior Spider-Man was based! That was probably the last time the series did something interesting.
>>153753021See you and raise you, a super goes on a destructive wrath at Marvel to restore his marriage but it's not Peter. it's Prime
>>153763903>Otto's fat strong brain waves take over Peter Parker then make him do unspeakable crimesFuck off Fat Slobb
>>153763721>because the last 20+ years of Spider-man have been shit Wrong
>>153752562The numbers don't even mean anything because they fudged them almost 2 decades ago when they decided to consolidate all the Spider-man titles into Amazing for BND to make a big deal about getting to "#600". It was so obviously a marketing gimmick that they had Deadpool in a #900 to one-up him.
>>153759558Did marvel not see Bendis tanking Superman after being brought on for THAT 1000th issue?
>>153752485Thinking on it, I assume this is going to be an anthology book like the Spider-man/Superman comic, lots of different mini stories from different creatives led by a larger A story. I think in the long term marvel will probably do a lot more books like that than monthlys, they're getting absolutely smoked in the current set up and they just fired a boatload of their editorial.
>>153763307900 was shit because the story it told was stupid and the only potentially interesting thing that could’ve happened was Pete finally meeting up with flash after he was resurrected was just a wet fart that in no way acknowledged that. 800 was only “good” because Slott was almost done with his decade long strangle hold on the book 801 should’ve been the anniversary issue the red goblin story sucked. 700 had a cool cover to cover the fact that the story was about replace Peter in the dumbest way in a storyline that dragged on for a YEAR longer than it had story for. And I genuinely don’t remember issue 600 but I think it had a decent romita jr cover
>>153766496They’re setting up the story now with peters super secret relative. 900 concluded a similar plot that turned out to just be the living brain telling us why Peter is super special despite the whole story just shitting on him
>>153763270At least the book would have a civilian supporting cast
>>153766947Sorry I forgot to mention that they all get spider powers and all decide to call themselves Spider-Man, even the women
>>153759558wait wait waitis that bendis? THE bendis?
>>153754579>>153754744Man, the degradation in art quality...
>>153752485Peter and Felicia getting closer again it's the only developed noteworthy story they could do rn desu
>>153752485howd they get 600 issues in 30 years? it hasnt been biweekly like bagley years, yet has like double the output since then.
this is getting no hype with the normies and openly being shit onhope to god it sells like dogshit and is the final fucking wakeup call to marvelwho am i kidding, collectorfags will make it #1
>>153768341doubled and tripled + counted RYV-verse
>>153763273>>153763356
>>153763370Because society uses a base 10 number system and Marvel themselves is hyping up the comic based on the issue number.You don't see them go "Holy shit true believers! It's Issue #936!" and plaster the number all over their marketing for it.
>>153768565They just did nostalgia bait because Venom hit the same number as the suit's first appearance in ASM of 252.
>>153768565Oh so you’re a gullible moron that repeatedly gets hyped up about a round number?
>>153752944Amazing Spider-Man went bi-weekly for a few years with rotating creative teams to spread the workload, which gooses its numbers. This is also why Action Comics hit 1000 so early- it switched to a weekly schedule in the 80s.Thor also took like 5 years off publication after Avengers Dissambled, until the JMS reboot.
>>153768341It was three times a month during brand new day and has been double shipping for most of that time after. We’ve had 100 issues every 4 or so years, the next book to hit even close to that number won’t do so for at LEAST 20 years. This genuinely feels as desperate as possible to get a quick cash grab before the industry collapses in on itself.
>>153768632No because I don't get hyped of for anything in modern Spider-Man.Doesn't mean Marvel isn't going to try you corpo-simping cuckold.
>>153768621Detective comics did a special for its 1027th issue since that Batman started in issue 27. I was SHOCKED that they cancelled the Felicia comic at issue twelve since it seems like a slam dunk to push the 13th issue of that as something specialHell I remember Spencer’s run on amazing would celebrate the anniversary issues it had like 25 and 50 while THEN celebrating the 825th and 850th total issue of the title since he started fresh on issue 802
>>153768943>But a big corporation is going to do promotion!
>>153769011>would celebrate the anniversary issues it had like 25 and 50 while THEN celebrating the 825th and 850th total issue of the title since he started fresh on issue 802Marvel double dipping I guess
>>153769041The run was pretty good and yeah both issues would be double sized. I really felt that a lot of Spencer’s run would’ve benefited from having a second title to push so many of its side issues to. It ended just after 875 but so many of the arcs had issues set between the numbered issues and “giant sized” specials setting up or finishing stories. I’d really like to hear what Spencer was thinking I know he was screwed out of an ending but the mother fucker was writing like a madman it was almost an issue a week
How would you guys have reacted if Spencer undid one more day, PPxMJ married again, then the Paul stuff still happened?
>>153752562Agree.Action comics was the only 1000 issue that felt big, Jurggen and Kelly aren't as different as writer quality wise and Jurggen botched some things in his run, but was a nice way to end one of the writer with most superman issues in the milestone 1000 issue.Shame Bendis and Metzer were in the issue instead Morrison or Elliot S. Maggin
>>153755509This
>>153763270>>Anna Maria MarconiShe was actually good you faggot
>>153769114Spencer jumped ship to Substack after Covid hit for the financial security and realized that he had set up so many subplots with no hope of resolving any of them satisfactorily before he was set to leave, so he did the best he could to provide some form of resolution, which also required all those extra issues.
>>153759558can someone fucking kill bendis already?
>>153769321I’m talking like his kraven story was only about 5 issues in the numbering but every issue had an inbetween issue not counted to tell a story about a side character. Sinister war was it own mini on top of the story told in amazing. Dude certainly wrote well over 100 issues in his run even though only 75 issues were counted in the run. I always felt that they should’ve put a lot of those stories in friendly neighborhood which was the side book at the time, I think they could’ve gotten that book up to 50 issues total with its own legacy numbering
>>153752485What hack is writing this crap?
>>153769204MTV Clone High Ghandhi-protest-style>>153769011Yeah that was because the run was doing well.
>>153763507They should both be back
>>153754507>>153754526booba
