cyberghostface Amazing Spider-Man is being relaunched in April with Peter Parker returning as Spidey and the new creative team is... Zeb Wells and John Romita Jr.
I got a chuckle when Marvel's press release described Zeb Wells with "His 'Shed' storyline is considered one of the best Spider-Man stories of all time". You know, the story that tried to reinvent the Lizard by having the Lizard eat his son as a way to 'kill' Curt Connors and then using his new abilities to make New Yorkers rape each other (via their 'lizard brain' taking over)? The same story that both Dan Slott and Nick Spencer immediately spent the next decade trying to undo? Not doubting that someone out there considers that to be "one of the "best Spider-Man stories of all time" but I don't think it's a commonly held opinion.
In all fairness, Zeb has written some genuinely good comics (see: his Tangled Web output) so... fingers crossed.
Here's a tease at what's going to be happening. Apparently Peter does something bad.
( Promo under the cut )
