Spider-Man’s greatest fashion disaster continues! With his symbiotic black costume safely removed and imprisoned for study, Spidey re-dons the classic red-and-blues to battle fearsome foes including Hobgoblin, Silvermane and the Kingpin! And when the Black Cat whips him up a homemade version of his ebony ensemble, Spidey can embrace a modern look that only looks killer. But while Peter thinks he’s done with his rather clingy former suit, the sinister symbiote isn’t finished with him — and when it escapes and seeks out its former host, Spidey’s going to have to do some quick thinking in order to avoid becoming a permanent part of the alien duds! Guest-starring the Human Torch, Thor and the X-Men! Collecting MARVEL TEAM-UP (1972) #146-150, PETER PARKER, THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN (1976) #96-100 and ANNUAL #4, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (1963) #259-263, and WEB OF SPIDER-MAN (1985) #1.

Also, I’m calling that Quesada couldn’t leave Carlie out of the Amazing Spider-Man line for too long, and 16.1-.5 is going to be her return. Anybody else wanna place bets?
@6- Actually, if Slott’s and Ramos play their cards right, this could actually turn out okay for an after-Slott-Event cool down.
Also, Clayton’s expression is more likely ours when we look at Ramos’ expository scenes.
Interested in the new Conway story, it’ll be nice to see Spider-Man actual tackle some street crime after all the universe hopping and body-swapping shenanigans of the past few years. 2099, USM, and Spider-Gwen are all looking good too.
@6: I hope that Spider-Man 2099 stays in his own timeline.
Ramos = filler
ASM #16: It’s a zombie or some other undead foe. Maybe the return of Digger from JMS’ run or Otto’s corpse. Also, check out Clash’s “…da hell?”-face as opposed to Peter, Anna, and Sajani’s terrfied countanences.
2099: Hope Miggy ends up going back to the past after fighting Maestro.
Anyone know how many TPBs the Complete Alien Costume Saga is supposed to span? I love these collections, having collected the Clone Saga and Ben Reilly Epic ones previously. Wondering if it’s going to be in the 5-6 books range like those.
I’m only interested in Spider-Gwen and 2099. I’m not even entertaining the Conway story because it’s more of the current Spider-Man status quo BS. Even if it will be written better probably. Also yeah We basically had filler from ASM #1 until Spider-verse and then we’re gonna have filler from the end of Spider-Verse until Renew your vows. and then after that who knows
I’m not interested in Parker Industries filler.
Gerry Conway’s story looks like has potential to be a great story.
Big surprise- after Spider-Verse we’re still getting no headway on certain other storylines, and more filler with Parker Industries.
Which isn’t a surprise, I guess. Marvel is heavily promoting the main Marvel line at this point, given that they gave the sneak previews to the Avengers line. But still, it’s a little frustrating that the Spider-Books are spinning their wheels before heading into Renew Your Vows.
And- as an aside- that Amazing Spider-Man #16 cover is just ugly.
Looks like it will be a downtime/potential filler period for ASM heading into May, probably for the best so people can put Spider-Verse into perspective. Good to see Bendis is keeping the Ultimates in the spotlight now that USM is the only game in town.
