Check out upcoming covers for AMAZING SPIDER-MAN BEYOND!
New York, NY— September 15, 2021 — Launching next month, a new era of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN beyond your wildest expectations begins when Peter Parker is hospitalized and Ben Reilly takes over as the new Spider-Man. And that’s only the start. Brought to you by an all-star lineup of writers and artists including Patrick Gleason, Cody Ziglar, Zeb Wells, Kelly Thompson, and Saladin Ahmed, the Spider-Man mythos is ready to web sling into uncharted new territory! And come December, this explosive saga will see exciting developments including an epic showdown between Miles Morales and Ben Reilly, a possible rekindled romance between Aunt May and Doc Ock, and more!
Writer Cody Ziglar and artist Ivan Fiorelli team up to reunite one of the most controversial couples in comics history in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #80.BEY.With her nephew at death’s door, May Parker is not just going to sit around accepting that Peter’s ailments aren’t solvable with conventional means. Aunt May is going to seek unconventional means by way of her ex-fiancé Doctor Octopus!
Then it’s new Spider-Man vs. newest Spider-Man in Saladin Ahmed and Carlos Gómez’s AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #81! The Beyond Corporation paid a lot of money for the Spider-Man trademark and does not take kindly to an unlicensed Spider-Man running around Brooklyn. So it’s up to Ben Reilly to take Miles Morales down.
Something horribly wrong is happening at the McCarthy Medical Center. Check in on Peter Parker’s recover in Saladin Ahmed and Jorge Fornès’ AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #82. Mary Jane Watson is trying to nurse the bedridden Peter to health, but when Peter’s roommate disappears, MJ has to step up. Can MJ and a nonmobile Peter get to the bottom of this hospital mystery?
Next up, the creator behind the biggest cover in the last decade is going to show you what he can do with one of the biggest Spider-Moments in decades when Marvel’s Stormbreaker Patrick Gleason takes over writing and art duties in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #83. The Web-Head is facing unbeatable odds again. Can he rise to the occasion and save the day?
Writer Cody Ziglar returns in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #84 alongside artist Paco Medina. The events of ASM #80.BEY have set Doctor Octopus on a collision course with the Beyond Corporation and their Spider-Hero in residence. Ben Reilly isn’t the only one with new tricks up his sleeve, or, in Ock’s case, MANY sleeves.
December will also see an exciting Beyond tie-in in MILES MORALES: SPIDER-MAN #33 by writer Saladin Ahmed and artist Michele Bandini. The events of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #81 open up a can of worms and send Miles and Shift on a quest that will have dire effects on both of them. What does this mean for Ben Reilly?

Is that Peter on the covers of #83 and #84? Or is it Ben wearing his suit?
I have to say — I was initially intrigued with the idea of Spider-man Beyond, especially given that stirring image of Peter in the hospital bed, but the more I read or hear about the upcoming event, the less interested I become. Ben fighting Miles doesn’t appeal to me, nor does Aunt May dating Dr. Octopus. I wish I could say that I was still looking forward to this, so maybe I will be proven wrong.
I really like that cover of Peter crawling on the hospital building. It’s very visual, tells a story, I like it. Plus I like confirmation Peter is going to have a role to play in this era.
That being said – how do Marvel except people to afford this. Especially the mythic new reader. The “three times a month” series is putting out five books in Nov and Dec. At this point I’ve dropped DC and independent books, so my only choice now is to drop a Marvel book to pay for this.
This might be an opt out point for me, as I move to Marvel Unlimited, as I’m not a Big Ben Riley fan I’m happy to wait.

Because it’s Bagley. :p
Well, covers tend to lie nowadays, so he may be really lying in bed inside the comic. Or maybe it’s just that his cellphone broke and can’t call for help.
I’m not sure why Aunt May looks like her Ultimate counterpart on the Mark Bagley variant cover, but I do have to admit, even though his classic green-and-orange costume is my favorite look for Doc Ock, seeing Doctor Octopus back in his ’90s white Armani suit made me smile. I’m not sold the “Spider-Man Beyond” storyline though, especially since the “nonmobile” Peter is clearly wall-crawling in his hospital gown on one of the covers. We’ll see where this goes.
