Marvel let us know that Amazing Spider-Man #602 sold out at the distributor level and will be going back to press. The second printing features art by Mike McKone on the cover and a story that injects darkness into Peter’s life on the inside.
Can you believe that Amazing Spider-Man has reached 600 issues? Then maybe you’ll believe Amazing Spider-Man #600 sold out at the distributor level (although copies may still be available from your local comic shop), prompting Marvel to send the issue back to press with a new cover featuring John Romita Jr.’s interior art on the cover.
If you don’t have the Disney XD channel on your cable box, or if you are someone who just refuses to pay for overpriced drek, you can still get your 1990’s Spider-Man animated series fix over on the Marvel website. The first episode kicked off this week, and Marvel plans on releasing one new episode each week until all 65 of the original episodes are online for your amusement.
Best of all, the streaming video is free, so you won’t be out anything besides 30 minutes of your day.

… and apparently Mark Waid and Brian Michael Bendis are teaming up to write issue #601 of Amazing Spider-Man or somethin’…
Check out the cover!
Or – “How Venom Got His Groove Back…”

Y’know what’s interesting? Venom’s “new costume,” which has only appeared in the Amazing Spider-Man title, makes it’s reappearance in this issue, but only on the cover. It didn’t get used in Thunderbolts, I don’t believe it’s in use in Dark Reign, and it’s not actually seen in the interiors. Isn’t it odd that they’d roll out a new uniform for a high-profile villain like Venom and then NOT USE IT?

Here’s a bit of coolness for Spider-Man fans; John Romita Sr. will provide the variant cover to Amazing Spider-Man #600. The issue arrives July 22, 2009.

Wedding bells are ringing for a romantic couple in Spider-Man #600. At least, that’s what it looks like in the publicity piece from Marvel. Watson and Parker? What do the Major Spoiler Legion think of this?

Dark Reign continues in the pages of Amazing Spider-Man #595, and Major Spoilers has a sneak peek of the issue that arrives May 27, 2009. With his life in the dumps, Spider-Man can think of only one thing to fix it (and it ain’t making a deal with the Devil) – he’s going to take down Norman Osborn.
As it looks like he’s getting the crap kicked out of him.

Or – “Bad Cops, Bad Cops, Whatchagonna Do?”

Ever since consulting with his Demonic Attorny, Peter Parker has found himself in a Dystopia, running and enless Dance of the Dead against foes new, old, personal and private. Even though he’s tried not to Dwell on the Past, the Duplicity of a new friend has left Spider-Man on a Downhill Charge to Disaster. The presence of a killer using his Spider-tracers to Despoil his reputation has served to further Demoralize, Demystyfy, and Daze our Defiant Vanguard, leaving him in Defense Formation, only to have the NYPD score the Death Stroke, hitting the spectacular one while he’s down. How’s will our Daunting Defender get outta this one?
Urza’s Tower.
