AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: WHO AM I? Launches in April as Marvel’s Next INFINITE COMIC Series!
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Returns in Marvel’s Latest Infinite Comic!
New York, NY—January 15th 2014— Gear up for a Spider-Man epic unlike any other in Amazing Spider-Man: Who Am I? – the latest game-changing Infinite Comic hitting digital devices this April! Following hits like Wolverine: Japan’s Most Wanted, Iron Man: Fatal Frontier, and the recent Deadpool: The Gauntlet, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: WHO AM I? is designed specifically for mobile devices and fully embraces the technological opportunities. Representing the latest form of comic book storytelling using tablets and smartphones as a new canvas, each new Marvel Infinite Comic continues to take advantage of modern technology while staying true to the medium’s greatest strengths!
Blockbuster writer Dan Slott (Amazing Spider-Man, Superior Spider-Man) joins red hot writer Joshua Hale Fialkov (Ultimate Comics Ultimates) along with artists Juan Bobillo & Antonio Fabela with layouts by Geoffo Beauleau & JL Mast to take the recently-returned wallcrawler to places you never though – the criminal underworld!
“The story starts with Peter Parker having lost all of his memory. He doesn’t know who he is. He’s in the process of robbing a bank,” says series writer Joshua Hale Fialkov in an interview with Marvel.com. “If you remove identity and get to the core of who Peter Parker really is, is he a hero? Would he act as a hero, when presented with the opportunities of a villain?”
Fueled by the overnight success of Infinite Comics, and combined with the demand from fans and creators who saw a world of infinite potential in this new format, these stories are designed specifically for mobile devices and fully embracing the technological opportunities.
With a freshly returned Peter Parker seemingly turned to a life of crime, what does this mean for the hero once known as the Amazing Spider-Man? Find out in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: WHO AM I? this April!
Available right at your fingertips, these new Infinite Comics will be available for purchase this May on the Marvel Comics app (for iPhone®, iPad®, iPod Touch® & AndroidTM devices) and online in the Marvel Digital Comics Shop!

This story reminds me of ASM#55-56, when Spidey lost his memory during a battle with Doc Ock. Ock saw his opportunity, and tried to convince Spidey that they were partners in crime.
…Which I suppose in a way they are today, what with Doc Ock being the “Superior” Spider-Man.
Is it just me, or did this just spoil what the big “twist” is when Peter returns?
You can view the Infinite Comics including all fancy animations on the Comixology website with a standard web browser if you don’t have an iPad or whatever. They are quite cool at times.
Not everyone owns a device capable of this. I shake my head every time I see those stupid stickers to access content I can’t physically see on the page. Am I actually missing anything?
