ok i dont know how to feel about this, but i'm gonna reserve my final thoughts on the issue and relaunch, but as of right now i'm not liking this one bit

What's that sound? It's the sound of Scarlet Spider being cancelled. Why would it ever need to exist if we're getting a darker Spidey with Stegman on art? For God's sake. So tired of this. I get that he's a big seller and a big part of Marvel. I love Spidey, BUT I LOVE OTHERS TOO.

I like this. very much.

Not sure how I feel about this. I don't want a dark Spider-Man... don't get me wrong, I love dark stories, but Spider-Man... I don't see it

Doesn't the spiderman on the cover of Avengers #3 have a red and blue costume?

Slott still on board? I'll pass! I don't like him at all. His run on Amazing Spider-man is extremely mediocre.

@DATNIGGA: Spiderman is already the greates superhero of all time.

@jesse10022: well yeah

but i mean to the point where the public of marvel U are all on him like they are thor, cap & ironman

4.99 price point for how many pages? As of now no thank you.

Im on board.

Yay back to the original red and black.

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3

mmmm not too crazy bout the tabi boots and the talon... But it is still very promising

What a terrible name for a Spidey book...

So... I wonder what happens in 700 to make everything "darker"... At least we know Peter lives.

How long before we get back Amazing Spider-man? I'm guessing we'll see a run of about 50 issues and then its done being "superior" and we get back the old spidey title.

So he has claws and a black and red costume... I like it :)

Let's put this change n the, "Who asked for this?" file.

My shenanigan sense is tingling...

I dunno... A darker, edgier Spidey title? This reeks of the '90s...

Not a fan of that cover.

Yay!

I don't like the Ultimate Spider-Man TV show, but Spidey's new suit reminds me of it

As long as Spidey has a good reason to turn dark in 700 ( excluding the other 20 tragedies he's had.) I'm OK with it . Slott has been good so far except the alpha arc.

Yep and it smells soooo good.

It sucks that Stegman won't be coming back to Scarllet Spider, but I'm glad he's doing this. I hope Scarlet Spider gets a new artist. Khoi Pham doesnt do anything for me. I would love to see someone like Paco Medina.

A darker spiderman? Ok let's all be Batman from now on.

As long as Peter stays Spider-man and they don't go overboard with his "darker tone", I'll love this. I still want Spidey to make wisecracks, and I want them to treat him like an adult. If he ends up killing every criminal (even if it was something stupid like stealing a pen) just cuz he's "darker". Maybe if they give him less tolerance for murderers/super villians and if they make him kill only when necessary, that would be "darker" without going to far and treating Spidey like the adult that he is. Not the dumb, easily infuenced 15 year old he used to be.

dumb name, dumb theme, dumb concept, creative team didn't even change? i ask what was the point...not to mention way overpriced! i will not be getting this.

I'm ok with this, as long as there's no Emo Parker around

This looks like it will replace ASM nicely. Can't wait!

So they took out the red bar on his arms that connected his gloves and shoulders so that it'd look more like the dumb Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon? And they put in more angles to show that he's ANGRIER! And they changed the "spider" logo on the back to make it MORE AGGRESSIVE without actually making it look like a spider?

I don't know if I agree with any of this. I admit that I do like the change from blue to black, though I always did enjoy it when Mike McKone drew it as such anyway.

Also, I'm confused by the fact that he apparently needs toe claws and talons, as if he needs them to climb on walls now. So... that's either completely redundant or completely against one of the things about Spider-Man that makes him Spider-Man.

I can get behind this. I see him as being comical yet serious. A few jokes here and there but going all out. It always seemed to me even back to the early early comics that he held himself back too much, never giving himself credit. He was a nerd so i can see him having low self-esteem to the point where he just doesn't use his full potential. We saw the brain power go full blast now lets see if he can do what a spider can to the max. I'm looking forward to how the rest of the marvel universe will take to this change like Captain America, Iron Man, Captain Marvel, Wolverine, Iron Fist and all them.

He's vamped out, Morbius got him, he has claws on his hands and one on each foot. He has ninja feet! Spidey has mutated or something, and this doesn't look good.

Will you people just chill, jeez! every time you turn around, its, "i dont like this" and "i dont like that". how bout you guys let the people WHO GET PAID TO DO THE THINGS THEY ARE DOING just do them and WAIT TILL IT COMES OUT BEFORE YOU SPEW OUT RETARDED ASS NEGATIVE COMMENTS!!!

It's NOT Peter Parker! :( It's probaly Andy Maguire

I am for this....

Can't wait

As long as it's not Spidey turning into the Punisher and murdering people, than this could be really good

Slott + Stegman =

This!

As a life long Spidey fan I'm pretty excited about this. This book sounds like it has potential to be great. Hopefully it will be.

5$?!?!?!?!?!?!? I'm hoping that's only for the first issue... If not they better have something huge planned for Spidey

It also looks like the claws are to help him climb (judging by the building he's crawling on) maybe he loses his ability to stick to walls...

10 to 1 they pull a clone saga and sub in Kaine as the new Spider-Man.

If that website is telling the truth and this really isn't Pete then I think im gonna have to drop Spider-Man. I'm all for change, as long as the main character stays the same. And if I drop SM ill probably drop Scarlet Spider and Venom too. Maybe pick up a few DC titles besides Batman and Nightwing.

This is pretty cool. I swear a few years ago I had posted on boards that Peter should be trained in some kind of combat - now he knows Spider-Fu. And I've always loved drawings where the blue in peter's costume is replaced with black. All my dreams are coming true.

That said, i'm a little worried about some of the potential changes here. I hope peter doesn't complete lose his sense of humor, because I think that's a huge part of what makes him great. I understand him losing his patience with his villains, and I think that is a sign of maturity actually (You don't see Cap letting Red Skull's crap fly...amiright?). But he needs to be funny. More importantly, it needs to be Peter. Bendis already killed ultimate Peter, removing him from the title book would really bug (no pun intended) me.

I also hope he doesn't kill anyone. I think that would be kind of stupid...one wolverine is enough...

At first when i heard about Marvel Now i said "oh please don't end the amazing spider-man to start something that might suck.'' Well seems like they will end it and will start with something weird, I just hope it doesn't suck since spidey is my favorite Marvel character.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY CHILDHOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Strider92:

You were partly right on your theory bro.

The creative team is amazing but...Why does it have to be darker? I like spider-man the way he is. I hope they don't have spider-man just start breaking bones and stuff and just completely change the character. I mean I love it when spider-man cuts loose but I don't want him doing it all the time. We have both kaine and venom right now to fill the place of a darker spider-man (well maybe not venom so much but still kaine fits that role nicely).

I'm still hyped though, Slott is a pretty good writer and Stegmans art is amazing if he brings his A game. Those 2 can't really fail. I'm sure this will be amazing.

nice muscle, but i dont like the eyes

Would be great to have spider-man with a much darker tone.

I can't help but agree with this.
