I’m guessing Marvel are trying to keep us guessing, from the art I’m guessing Peter is alive, but stepping down as Spider-Man from his injuries. Though the text is making me think he’s “dead”. I’m excited for the former, much easier to bring him back without a complicated resurrection story. I think it would be fun to have Peter in the “man in the chair” role for a while.
I’m behind on Miles – what is he wearing? That original costume is iconic!
I posted yesterday here, and it never appeared — Oh, well (I remember Hornacek saying something similar on another column).
I just said that I really like the #75 cover with Ben alone against the black background — and that the skewed spider symbol is really starting to grow on me.
I think the Issue #75 variant cover painting with Ben alone against the black background looks really beautiful. The skewed spider logo is even growing on me, too.
That dark age cover makes me smile. Peter and (presumably) MJ’s daughter, who’s wearing Ben new costume, grown up miles with the venom symbiote, and older Peter with these oversized webshooters… I love all of this!
Also these covers for ASM 75&76 are GORGEOUS.
