AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1 Introduced A Terrifying New Villain Who Could Change Peter Parker's World Forever
Nick Spencer's Amazing Spider-Man #1 featured a lot of big surprises but a backup tale revolving around Mysterio points to Peter Parker's world being changed forever. Hit the jump for further details...
Nick Spencer's first issue of Captain America was surrounded by a huge amount of controversy when it was revealed that Steve Rogers was secretly an Agent of HYDRA. However, his and Ryan Ottley's Amazing Spider-Man #1 is all about making fans happy and it not only presents some huge twists and turns about Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson's relationship but introduces a key new villain.
You can find details on all of that below and with Dan Slott's lengthy run finally at an end, it's now apparent that Spencer has some big plans for the wall-crawler and intends to change his world in a huge way (we could even be about to see the end of "One More Day"). So, to check out all the biggest reveals from the issue, all you guys have to do is click on the "View List" button for these spoilers...
A New Spider-Man Villain
During the course of the issue, we finally learn that Mysterio's story about being brought back from hell was true and that some sort of demonic entity is responsible for that. However, he has his sights set on Spider-Man for reasons unknown and says that he and "Pete" go way back. Clearly, Nick Spencer is planning to drastically change something about the wall-crawler's past by involving this villain.
What that will be remains to be seen, of course, but Spencer is clearly going to address a huge mystery about Mysterio's resurrection which has been unanswered for years. We'll have more on that later...
Peter Parker And Mary Jane Reunited
By the time the issue ends, Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson are seemingly an item again after sharing a kiss and it appears as if Spencer is planning on putting the spotlight back on these two despite Dan Slott saying their marriage will not be brought back after the events of "One More Day." Whether or not they'll actually get married is another matter but this romance is something fans have wanted to see return for a long time now and the writer is delivering on that in a major way now.
The End Of One More Day?
There are a lot of hints about Marvel finally bringing "One More Day" to an end at some point in the near future because "Brand New Day" is referenced and Peter frequently talks about there being something missing between him and MJ. Now, with a demon from hell looking to torture the wall-crawler, could he be the one who helps bring an end to Spidey's deal with Mephisto and restore Peter and Mary Jane's marriage? The signs are certainly pointing to that being a very strong possibility.
Peter Parker's New Teacher
During the course of Amazing Spider-Man #1, Peter Parker's degree is stripped from him after it's revealed that he plagiarised the work of Doctor Otto Octavius (the truth of the matter is that he was in control of Spidey's body at the time). However, by the time the issue ends, the wall-crawler is given another chance by the university because a teacher there has argued in his defence. Much to his horror, though, Peter learns that's Dr. Curt Connors in his full-on Lizard form! This will be interesting...
