The first year of writer Zeb Wells and main series artist John Romita, Jr.'s run on Amazing Spider-Man is comi🙈ng to its close with a story Marvel Comics is billing as "the most shocking issue of Amazing Spider-Man in 50 years," in May's Amazing Spider-Man #25 and #26, which will also🤪 bring artist Kaare Andrews into the title.
So what happened 50 years ago that was so shocking it's now going to ꦫbe notably matched or even topped by another big event?
For one thing, 1973 (50 years ago) is the year that Gwen Stacy died in Amazing Spider-Man #121 - and considering the looming presenc🥃e Gwen has had over Zeb Wells🃏' run on the title and its adjacent stories, it seems safe to say that's the 50-year anniversary b💙eing referenced in Marvel's announcement.
Marvel has included the covers for both issues in its announcement in a graphic which combines both images along with the phrase "The truth revealed… but at what cost?꧋"
Marvel bills Amazing Spider-Man #25 an🌠d #26 as the "startling, unexpected climax" to the current chapter of Wells and Romita's run, and specifies 🐻that both issues will be "over-sized."
As for the "truth" that will apparen☂tly be revealed, it seems likely it will tie into both Gwen Stacy's death and perhaps the question of "What did Spider-Man do?" which has followed Amazing Spider-Man since its first issue revealed that Peter Parker was responsible for some still unspecified disaster in the re🦩cent past before the launch of the current volume of the title.
We know a few things: whatever it is, it's kept Mary Jane and Peter Parker apart and aliena𒁏ted him from others in his life, and it's been hinted that it has something to do with both Norman Osborn and Gwen Stacy.
The story of the disaster will be revealed in the coming months - and it seems there will be even more details revealed in Amazing🌊 Spider-Man #25 on May 10, followed by Amazing Spider-Man #26 on May 31.
