Marvel has provided CBR exclusively with the below teaser for the Spider-Island storyline running in the pages of "Amazing Spider-Man" and various series and miniseries. The deliberately vague teaser promotes the November-shipping issue of "Amazing Spider-Man," promoted by Marvel as an epilogue to Spider-Island, and features a close-up on what is presumably Peter Parker stating "I'm Spider-Man" under the tag-line "Spider-Island -- It's Lethal."




At a glance, the teaser seems straightforward, an affirmation from Peter in the wake of an adventure that has seen thousands of New Yorkers gaining spider powers courtesy of longtime Spidey foe the Jackal -- the same Jackal who has caused problems of the clone variety for Spider-Man several times in the past. Couple that information with the cover to the issue it's promoting, an homage to John Romita Sr's famous splash page from "Amazing Spider-Man" #50 in which Peter Parker quits his costumed identity, and it's perhaps not so obviously Peter in the teaser after all.

WB/DC, otoh, seem to be clueless at times. Just look at the recent GREEN LANTERN film. Although I actually liked the film OK, fairly well, even I'll admit that WB/DC dropped the ball on that one. They 'thought' GL was gonna be their 'Iron Man'. Well, actually, to tell you the truth, it should've been! If they'd taken a lesson out of the Marvel play-book, it would've been. Ain't GL a very popular character in the comics? Arguably moreso than Iron Man, at least before those films anyway. If it had been handled right, then why not? But instead WB was in a rush to get it out there instead of taking the time & doing it right.

What gets me though is that this 'New 52' seems to be selling out in some cases. I saw online where the new JUSTICE LEAGUE comic is already in its' 3rd printing! But there's no accounting for taste I guess.

As others have said, this could be a flash in the pan. Although some of the DCnU ideas have been good, we're only in the first month. Hell, not even all the new #1's have come out yet. Give it time.

Where are they now?

Back to catching up: A cover from January was shown, with a Daily Bugle cover that reads, "NEW YORK DESTROYED." Singh says that readers have no idea where Spider-Island is going, which makes the story even better.

Coming in January 2012: "Spidey Meets the Devil," a crossover between Amazing Spider-Man #677 (part 1) and Daredevil #8 (part two) by Mark Waid, Emma Rios and Kano. Wacker said that they gave Waid "carte blanche" to run with things, and that it gave Slott a chance to recuperate after Spider-Island. Slott said there would be big repercussions from the story felt in his title.

Classic villains in Amazing Spider-Man? Slott: "Doc Ock, back in issue #600, learned that he was dying and doesn't have much time. It's getting close. We've been seeing this master plan. We can expect some Sinister Six action in 2012." Slott continued, saying that Amazing Spider-Man #676 will have no Spider-Man at all, just the Sinister Six.

Slott promoted an appearance coming up from the classic Vulture — which he equated to "beating up Orville Redenbacher" – and that a Sandman story like "one you haven't seen before" is coming up. Slott also pointed out that with Lizard as the villain of the new Spider-Man film, he'll probably be around.

Is Spider-Sense back for good? "It's back!" Slott exclaimed. "Now he has Spider-Sense — and kung-fu!"

Wacker pointed out that Amazing Spider-Man will hit #700 next year, and the character will celebrate its 50th year. Wacker said they're adding a tag line to the book — "the world's greatest superhero."

"He bounces off our characters better than anybody," Wacker said. "There's nobody who comes into Marvel without pitching their ideas for Spider-Man. The soap opera of Peter Parker is always the most important part of the book," Wacker added.

Will Harry Osborn be around? "We have Harry plans, they're a little more long term," Wacker said.

The panel ended with an image that said "Ends of the Earth," featuring a pair of Doc Ock arms, and credited to Slott/Caselli — so, presumably, an upcoming arc on Amazing Spider-Man by Dan Slott and Stefano Caselli.

THE VULTURE RETURNS! It's a brave new city! As the costs of Spider-Island continue to rise, Spidey’s first enemy returns! High-rise robberies and teenaged jumpers force Spidey into a high flying new adventure…with a less than friendly partner.
