New ‘Amazing Spider-Man’ Creative Team Confirmed

Marvel confirmed Joe Kelly, John Romita Jr., and Pepe Larraz will be the creative team launching Peter Parker’s next era when Amazing Spider-Man #1 debuts April 9th.

"Even though this is a new #1, I don’t think of it as a 'restart' per se," Kelly explained. "I'm writing the next chapter of the story of one the world’s greatest characters, lucky enough to follow in the footsteps of the folks before me.

Marvel shared more on what fans can expect from the new series:

The new AMAZING SPIDER-MAN will deliver classic Spidey storytelling with bold new horizons for Spider-Man; his supporting cast (including the recently redeemed Norman Osborn and Peter’s new girlfriend Shay), and the greatest supervillains in all of pop culture.

The new run finds Peter without a job and looking for gainful employment, but his job search is interrupted by a rampaging Rhino who is but the tip of a sinister iceberg. What major Spider-Villain is working behind the scenes weaponizing other Spider-Villains including one we haven’t seen in OVER SEVEN YEARS?! Also, what is that Goblin-free Norman Osborn up to these days?
