This is the first time that Peter Parker has had a second, in-continuity, solo ongoing since “Brand New Day” relaunched “Amazing Spider-Man” in 2007 and made the title thrice-monthly (“Spidey” wasn’t quite in continuity, and “Avenging Spider-Man” was a team-up book). Zdarsky went on to praise the Spider-Man of the 80’s and 90’s and said he hopes to bring that energy to this title and bring things “back to basics.” This run will also introduce new character Rebecca London, a stand-up comedian who just moved to New York, who meets Spider-Man and is a possible love interest for the character.
If I had, like, a true mission statement for the title though, it would be: “Have fun, have heart, have stakes.” My personal mission statement going into the book is “With great power comes something something I don’t know I’ve never had power before.” But even though we’re pushing to make it a more personal book, we’re still going to have big adventures with ramifications that’ll be felt in his other books. With this book, we’re using the same Spider-Man in-continuity but shifting the spotlight back to his NYC environment and supporting cast. It’s still classic Spider-Man at its core, but transposed into new settings. The main book, “Amazing Spider-Man,” has kept things fresh by stretching the character and his situation. Zdarsky, who has risen in recent years illustrating titles like “Sex Criminals” for Image and writing books like “Howard the Duck” for Marvel, said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that this book will be a return to the more classic Peter Parker we all know and love.
