Geekscape Comics: Peter Parker To Return This April!

Briefly: We knew that it wouldn’t last forever, but it’s ending sooner than I’d hoped. Dan Slott’s excellent Superior Spider-Man is set to end this March, and an all-new The Amazing Spider-Man will launch in April.

Just as most others seemed to be, I was skeptical when Superior was first announced, but quickly fell in love with the vastly different series. Now, just when Superior Spider-Man is at its best, its set to end all too soon. The numerous changes to Peter’s life, however, will not be ending with it, as Slott told Yahoo today, “Everyone’s expecting that it’s going to be a nightmare, a landscape of broken friends and crushed dreams, but there’s another side to it, too. When Peter went out, Doc Ock crashed course through college and got him a doctorate, got him a girlfriend and got him his own company.”

He even made a child cry, stating that “To do that for a solid year of my life, that’s the hardest thing I’ve had to do — to look small children in the eye at a convention and lie to them. One of them with an honest-to-God Little League uniform and a quivering lip. Inside, part of me was dying.”

In any case, as a long-time reader, I’m excited to see what happens next. Take a look at the cover art for the first issue below, and let us know what your thoughts are on Superior Spider-Man, and the fact that it’s ending!
