Amazing Spider-Man Continues to Swing High and Sell Out!

Amazing Spider-Man has been selling out lately.  My question is, is it because of the Anti-Venom and the current "New Ways to Die" story arc or is it because of the variant covers?  Are people still buying both covers of an issue?  Very very rarely will I do that.  Only if both covers are really cool or by my favorite artist.  I love the 50/50 covers.  If you're going to release two covers, I love having an equal choice.  I don't want to pay more for what I think is a cooler cover.  Hopefully we won't have another gimmick-cover craze like we had in the 90s.

I am enjoying "New Ways to Die" by the way.  It should be interesting to see if Anti-Venom will be an enemy or ally to Spider-Man.

Amazing Spider-Man #569 In Stores Today & Already Sold Out!

I think it's safe to say that this would be the first comic I'd read after picking them up from the comic shop.  It's funny how most people have been putting down Spider-Man since Brand New Day started.  I'm not exactly happy with how we got to where we are now but now that we are here, it's really not bad.  I suggest you try to get to the comic shop as soon as you can so you don't miss out on what everyone is going to be talking about.  Maybe you could still pick up a copy of last week's 568.  I have a feeling they'll be reprinted but why take the risk?
 

On the day of its release, Amazing Spider-Man #569 has sold out at Diamond (though copies will be available at retail level)! The second part of the hotly anticipated “New Ways To Die” storyline marks not only the first appearance of Anti-Venom, but also the second straight sell out for Spidey’s summer blockbuster, which IGN.Com deemed a, “well-plotted, intelligent superhero story.”

Who is Anti-Venom? Why have the Thunderbolts assaulted Peter Parker? And just what does Norman Osborn know about the connection between Peter & Spider-Man? Find out in Amazing Spider-Man #569, in stores now!

This post relates to: Eddie Brock, Venom, Spider-Man

I have to say I am both happy and sad about this episode.  It's cool that Venom's making an appearance.  Sure it seems a little fast but why not?  It's what we all want to see.  What interests me is how the "children" will deal with the character.  I know Venom's appeared on the FOX Spider-Man series but the set up was different.  They really went out of their way to set up the brotherly relationship between Peter and Eddie.  I've been watching with my (soon to be) five year old daughter.  She's really into the show but I know her little mind will be trying to grasp the idea that they were friends and now they're not.  But I suppose it could prepare her in case a good friend of hers gets ahold of an alien symbiote next year in kindergarten.
