Marvel Comics has shared its October covers for all three issues of Amazing Spider-Man, and things really aren't looking good for Peter Parker. While he's placed front and centre alongside the returning Ben Reilly on the cover of issue #75, he's in bad shape by the time the next issue rolls around and, from there, it sounds like Ben is about to become the Marvel Universe's main Spidey.
As noted in a press release accompanying the cover art shared below, "this Spider team-up won’t last long and Peter Parker may be taking his final web-swing. What villain did the unthinkable and took Peter down? And is Ben Reilly, last seen operating as the Scarlet Spider, really fit to take over?"
It doesn't sound like Kindred will be the one to deliver this fatal blow at the end of Nick Spencer's run because starting with issue #75, we're getting a new creative team in writers Zeb Wells, Kelly Thompson, Saladin Ahmed, Cody Ziglar, and Patrick Gleason.
However, big things are happening in the pages of Amazing Spider-Man right now; Doctor Strange has confronted Mephisto over the state of Peter Parker's soul, while there are now three Harry Osborns. One is a corpse, the other is the "One More Day" version who was resurrected as part of "Brand New Day," while the third is Kindred.
We're guessing the latter is the original Harry's soul escaped from Hell, but by the time all is said and done, we could have Spencer to thank for undoing "One More Day" and restoring Peter's relationship with Mary Jane...so, of course, Marvel is then going to take the original web-slinger off the board!
