Dan Slott has been knocking it out of the park on Spider-Man week after week—wait—The Amazing Spider-Man isn’t a weekly comic book? It sure feels that way! Actualy, it seems to be shipping about three times a month these past few months. And I’ve been more than fine with that.
While I wasn’t bowled over by the first “Big-Time” arc, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the “Revenge of the Spider-Slayers” storyline, the Venom 0.1 issue, and the last arc following the loss of Marla Jameson and Spidey’s spider-sense was touching and fun.
Marvel announced the upcoming “Spider-Island” storyline that features the Spidey-facation of New York and the superhero community as the masses begin to take on Spider-Man’s powers.
Marvel is proud to announce Spider-Island, the comic book event of the summer from the best-selling creative team of Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos. Kicking off this August in Amazing Spider-Man #667 (with a special prelude in #666) the citizens of Manhattan—including some of Spidey’s closest allies and deadliest foes—begin exhibiting the web-slinger’s very own powers! But as Spider-Man must stop a seemingly insurmountable super powered crime wave, he must also find out just who’s responsible for mutating Manhattan…and the truth will irrevocably alter his world. Fans will get their first full-length lead in to Spider-Island in Marvel’s special issue of Amazing Spider-Man, available for free at all participating comic shops on May 7th, Free Comic Book Day.
“Back when Slott launched Spider-Man into the ‘Big Time’ last year, he started laying the groundwork for possibly the biggest Spider-Man story you’ve ever seen,” said Stephen Wacker, Marvel Senior Editor. “The price of power is high for heroes and villains. The Avengers, the FF, Venom, Spider-Girl, Spider-Woman, the Sinister Six and even YOU are connected to ol’ Web-Head in new ways. By the end of this story, we’re going to see what Spider-Man means to Marvel Universe and just how far he’ll go to keep it safe…including some life-changing choices that have major consequences.”
This summer, Spider-Island brings great power to nearly everyone in New York City…and it’s Spidey’s great responsibility to keep this chaos from spreading even further! But just what will Spider-Man have to sacrifice in the process?
Plus, don’t miss “Infested”, beginning in the pages of April’s Amazing Spider-Man #659 and setting the stage for the next big chapter in Spider-Man history.
