BEN REILLY IS PUT TO THE TEST AGAINST MORBIUS AND KRAVEN IN AMAZING SPIDER-MAN’S UPCOMING BEYOND ERA!
Find out if Ben Reilly has what it takes to be the new Spider-Man when Kelly Thompson, Sara Pichelli, Cody Ziglar, Michael Dowling and more take on AMAZING SPIDER-MAN this November
New York, NY— August 17, 2021 — There’s a new Spider-Man in town! Starting in October, an all-star lineup of writers and artists will take Spidey beyond the limit in an era without Peter Parker as his fan-favorite clone, Ben Reilly, takes over the mantle. Written by Kelly Thompson, Cody Ziglar (with the rest of the Beyond Board of Saladin Ahmed, Patrick Gleason and Zeb Wells) with art by Sara Pichelli and Michael Dowling, these adventures of Spider-Man will be like none that came before, offering a fresh take on the Spider-Man mythos and an exciting development for Ben Reilly’s super hero legacy.
This November, fans will see Ben Reilly’s early outings as Spider-Man in the pages of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #78-80. Now backed by the Beyond Corporation, Spider-Man is in for a slew of dangerous missions. After being brutally taken down by Morbius, Spider-Man will fall into a trap by one the deadliest foes in his legendary rogue gallery: Kraven the Hunter! The hunter is going to test his prey like never before and Spider-Man is sent into a hallucinatory spiral that will test his sanity and force him to do the impossible.
Also arriving in November will be AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #78.BEY, a pivotal issue written by Jed MacKay with art by Eleonora Carlini that will feature the Daughters of the Dragon as Spider-Man’s tough new trainers! But is even their skill level enough for the mission that the Beyond Corporation is about to send them on? This special installment of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN will debut a mysterious new villain: OBSIDIAN STAR!
Check out the covers now and see if Ben Reilly is up to the challenge when the new era of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN begins this fall!

OK, Not Kraven going up against Not Spider-Man? That might be interesting. Clash of the Clones!
“by one the deadliest foes in his legendary rogue gallery: Kraven the Hunter!”
Seriously? Ok, I’ll give you KLH, but beyond (heh-heh) that, Kraven is one of Spidey’s “deadliest foes”? Really?
I’m a little confused — It says that fans will get to see Ben’s early outings. At first I thought it meant that those particular issues will contain reprints, but if the Beyond Corporation is presumably where the “Beyond” in the title comes from, then how are these his “early” outings? Unless they view this particular incarnation of Ben as different from the other(s), which I seriously doubt…
Ugh, why are we doing this again? I hated the first time they replaced Peter with Ben and it’s the only empty slot in my collection in the last 25 years. If I didn’t already have a subscription for a year in place I would stop getting the comics in protest. I like Ben as a support character but as Spider-Man? No thanks I’m here for PETER not any slob calling himself Spider-Man!
I’m trying to be excited for this era. The covers look great, and I like the talent involved, but c’mon Marvel three times a month PLUS whatever a .BEY is? Beyond I guess.
Oh for Pete’s sake, we are back with this .WTV nonsense?!
