Big changes are coming for Amazing Spider-Man, with a new creative team (see “Nick Spencer to End Run as Writer of ‘Amazing Spider-Man’ with #74”), a new story arc, and a new release schedule: The series will move to thrice-monthly release in October. All this will kick off with Amazing Spider-Man #75 (see “Preview: ‘Amazing Spider-Man’ #75”), a 56-page issue that goes on sale on October 6 with an MSRP of $5.99.
The storyline brings Ben Reilly back to New York, where he once again dons the Spider-Man costume, although Peter Parker is not entirely out of the picture. To usher in the new storyline, Marvel has created a “Beyond Board,” a group of writers and artists who will work together on the series: Saladin Ahmed, Patrick Gleason, Kelly Thompson, Zeb Wells, and Cody Ziglar. Different writers and artists will take the lead for different issues, but all three of the October issues will have main covers by Art Adams. Here are the details:
