Official: Peter Parker Returns April 2014 in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1

How the heck is it suppose to work? And forget about the process of Pete getting his body back, I'm talking about Doc Ock having too much influence on his world. How is Pete suppose to pick up from that?

sorry who are these people that thought he wouldnt come back?

I know ,right?!!!

"SpOck is a better Spider-Man"
"You're wrong"
"Parker is boring"

And all this beautiful stuff.

The twist relates to the story,i think......
Someone will die in Goblin Nation,or something will be carried on to the Amazing book.

They were compeletely anf uterly stupid,for a year to ignore the behaviour change.....imagine now,someone will go to Pete and say, "you're acting weird!......you were a jerk and now you're a nice guy....something's not right!" :P

@darknightspideyfanboy: I think that's the twist. Peter is gonna come "back in black" lol. I wouldn't mind that.

I hope we get Doc Ock back with his 4 extra arms

Me too.
The body is missing.....so....who knows?!!

Finally. I haven't even being following SS since about issue 4, it was sh*t. I'll probably subscribe this.

I get that some people (very vocally) wanted Peter back, but I was actually enjoying Superior. Oh well. I guess the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few (or the one).

I don't understand all the people connecting this to the ASM 2 release, why would they want to support it? The way I see it, Marvel would want the movie to do bad so they stop making them and the rights revert back, or at least they can buy them back for cheaper...

So long spOck, don't let the door hit you on the way out!

:(

Thank f**k for that and thank god Humberto Ramos is staying.

I've enjoyed Superior Spider-Man but I'm glad Peter's coming back. Superior works as a temporary series and it has!

@neon_jackal: Marvel still makes money off of the films, they don't really want the rights back.

I MAY repeat MAY get back into Spider-Man after all these many years. Maybe Spider-Man can start fresh and ACTUALLY evolve the Peter Parker character. And we can all leave all of this behind us.

But before we do...I hope Doc Ock gets killed off for daring to kill Peter Parker.

Great to have Peter back, but i also enjoyed Superior Spider-Man very much !

The alternate cover gives it a dark vibe :o

I have to say i'm going to miss Superior Spider-man's suit. That thing was bada$$!

“But there’s a twist. There’s always a twist.”....

@vance_astro: I realize that. But if you think about it, why should it matter?

The fans who came to the comics after watching the first ASM -- what in the current comics was there for them to recognize, other than a person named Peter? Gwen has long since been gone. Lizard's not exactly a headliner. When the new movie hits they'll be looking for a Rhino and Shocker that are not even remotely similar in the books. But most importantly, the film Peter is still quite young.

That's what scares me a bit about it. They have an in-text excuse for bringing "back" a Peter who's brand new, which of course wouldn't be bringing him back at all.

*shrug*

I actually wish Superior would last another year or so. It's been an excellent and fascinating Doc Ock story. It's fine Peter is back, I just hope Slott can spin a great and long story out of it. I'm not ready for the same old same old been there done that Spider-Man stories.

He's got some serious amount of damage control to do on his relationships and public image. Spock has done a great number on both. Though I do wander how he's going to react to the Ph.D, I wander if this might make him change his view on keeping his identity secret from even the avengers, cos if people like Tony, Beast and Pym knew...Spock might not have gotten away with what he did. If Ock stays alive, what happens to his memories of who Peter is?

Good. I just wish Slott would be removed.

So Jackals gonna clone Parker again, and we'll have two Spideys right?

At first I hated Superior then I grew to enjoy it. I'm looking forward to this.

I bet you all the twist is he gets amnesia after ock wiped his memories fron #9

Really. Spidey went from a complaining always my fault annoying character to a douche bag. I hope they change him in amazing spiderman then I might look into it cause I didn't like any of the previous personalities

:-)!

Though if Slott is sincere about him "dying inside" from killing Parker off temporarily, I will keep my mind open for him in the future. Maybe he isn't so bad after all mwahaha.

As much as I've enjoyed Superior (and as improbable as that now seems considering my hesitation when the series was first announced) it will be nice to see the real Peter again. It could be interesting to see how he starts to pick up his life again after Ock has so systematically gone about changing his fortunes. Although, considering how well things have been going for Otto's, at least by Parker's old standards, some of that drama may be reduced. Still, things could (and probably will) change in the next few issues and I for one am looking forward to seeing how.

Ugh..Slott's still writing it, so it'll suck. I didn't like Slott's writing before the Doc Ock charade. But it's is Parker as the Amazing Spider-Man, so I'll probably buy it anyhow. Slott can't write it forever, can he?

While I agree that it makes no sense that the two would be related, (nobody is going to watch the movie, decide to read comic books, go to the comic book shop, ask for help, discover that the comics are in a temporary story line of Peter's body being taken over, and decide they don't want to read comics anymore. Just. No.) your logic is kind of flawed here. Firstly, connecting the comics to the movie release (apparently) is supposed to help support the comics, not the movies. Sony doesn't need help from comic books to get their movies attention. However, even if it did work that way, Marvel most certainly does not want these movies to fail. All 4 Spider-Man movies are in the top 100 grossing films of all time. Marvel gets to make a cut of that without having to pay for them to be made, and then gets the benefit of new comic book readers, and then gets the benefit of selling countless amounts of Spider-Man merchandise because of it. Besides, they know they're not getting those rights back any time soon even if it the franchise were to fail. Amazing Spider-Man 2 could fail traumatically by superhero movie standards and still be more than profitable for Sony.

A large part of me feels like after all that's happened to Peter he should be kind of serious and messed up for a long time, and not just jump back into his old self. I mean what happened to him is the most traumatizing thing i can imagine.

I see nowhere in this statement where it says Superior is ending, only that Amazing is coming back.

@akbogert said:

I don't think it should matter but Marvel is predictable. People have been saying that Peter would be back for ASM2 since Superior first started.

oh well, an end of an era. rest in peace superior, you will be missed

@flazam: My own theory

Exacly.

Of cource it's not ending.....some reports say that Pete will be back,but Superior will somehow continue,with Fraction or David writing.

Maybe it's just the cover.....the second cover is more like "Peter after Superior".....a bit angry.

@sesquipedalophobe: Mmmm yes he is

As, like a lot of other posters, a lifelong Spidey fan, I can only say how inevitable yet sad this news is.

In my opinion, Peter and his story had become dull, repetitive and predictable. I was at the point of giving up when the Spock storyline materialised and for me this gave new life to a long stale story.

For me the current story could have run a lot longer. I've enjoyed every issue of Superior and never mourned for Pete. At this moment I'm doubting I'll stay on once he comes back. With a lot of fresh and potentially exciting titles making their debuts this year, this comeback could be the story my bank balance has prayed for!!!!

@strider92: I'll drink to that. I wouldn't mind if Pete kept it.

Whatever Marvel is doing it's working,though.....
I can't wait for Goblin Nation and i can't wait to see what Peter will do when he comes back........

kudos.

Occasionally he cripples a girl,or beats a boy to death.

Sounds familiar?!.....

And yet!!...somehow BRUCE WAYNE isn't a "dull-boring" character,and Joker is still an unpredictable son of a bitch....they're both 75(!!) years old!...

What im trying to say is....that kind of characters ARENT for changing.....it's not about giving the mantel to another guy!....they are permanent,and this was ALWAYS a story about Peter Parker!!.....he didn't die!....his body was abducted by Doctor F-ing Octapus!!....it's far from what people call a "permanent situation" dude.....

It's not like giving an honorable death to Parker and then putting ANOTHER GOOD person to take his place(Ultimate-Miles-etc) .....it's putting a villian in his body....you can't build-up on that!!

I hope you caught my drift! :P

(i used Bats,cuz you have a wonderful Arkham City avatar of Joker :) )

@punyparker: XD

I think Amazing and Superior will both continue after Peter comes back. I hope that doesn't happen, but Superior has been a pretty big cash cow, and I don't see them giving it up. Also, Ramos suuuuuuuuucks.

Knew it would happen eventually, great to have Peter back!
