Amazing Fantasy (2022) #1000

Product Information

In the Flesh” (written by Ho Che Anderson, and illustrated by Giuseppe Camuncoli), the closer this issue gets to the horror theme, this is a story that I believe would’ve suited better for a different kind of hero, one closer to the psychological corners, and whose main point isn’t that clear, like ‘Moon Knight’, just to mention one. The art of Camuncoli does a great job at giving us that unsettling vibe that the main character in here emanates, but unfortunately, the idea is never really that well exploited, or developed. It is interesting, and is the one that feels the most detached from the rest of the roster, but there isn’t that much to it, compared to the previous ones. These celebratory event covers for D23 are the only time that Disney allows this kind of crossover between Disney and Marvel IP.

Unfortunately, because of who Spider-Man is, many of the stories in this anthology tread on a lot of the same ground: there’s a huge focus on his commitment to responsibility, his tragic origin and subsequently tragic life, and his impact on the people of New York. This isn’t to say any of these stories are bad, but it would’ve been nice to have a bit more variety in the types of stories we got. I would’ve loved to get more time with Peter and his supporting cast, but the length of the issue and stories didn’t really allow for that. Rainbow Rowell and Olivier Coipel spotlight the average day of Peter Parker’s hectic job as a Daily Buglephotographer With Great Power..." is Neil Gaiman's secret Spider-Fan origin, and it's well written. It's sweet. A little self-centered, I guess.Let's celebrate Spidey's 60th birthday and read this sudden AF #1000... Why is it 1000 in the first place? I honestly don't understand the logic. But who cares... So, about stories: Over the past sixty (60!) years, Marvel has been telling us that everyone can "be Spider-Man". All it takes is the solemn vow to use one's abilities, natural or otherwise, for the greater good. As much as some readers may complain of his relationships stagnating, Peter Parker has grown with his audience over the past six decades into a deep and relatable hero known the world-over. New York, NY— July 15, 2022 — Sixty years ago, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko introduced the world to Spider-Man in the historic AMAZING FANTASY #15! Over the course of six web-slinging decades, Peter Parker has inspired millions of fans and secured his spot as one of the most iconic fictional characters of all time. To celebrate this milestone anniversary, a lineup of incredible creators from throughout the comics industry will come together next month in AMAZING FANTASY #1000, an outstanding collection of stories that explore the past, present and future of Amazing Spider-Man storytelling and showcase why Spidey is one of the most beloved heroes in history. Rainbow Rowell and Olivier Coipel spotlight the average day of Peter Parker’s hectic job as a Daily Bugle photographer A woman dealing with some mental health issues, which include thinking that spiders are climbing around underneath her skin, has a run-in with a certain super-powered, human-sized arachnid.

Not all stories are great, some of them are boring or just odd here. They feel really unnecessary and kinda ruin the book. But on the other hand we have some masterpieces, which is just so rare in the modern comics. The art by Giuseppe Camuncoli, Klaus Janson, and Jordie Bellaire is a perfect match for Anderson's story too. These 3 working together is a legit dream team. Camuncoli's pencils are brought to life by Janson's stellar inks, and Bellaire's use of warm colors always brings the perfect tone to each scene. A horrific story that contains a truly tear-jerking moment and one of the most wonderful endings to any Spidey short story, all helped out immensely by the stunning art. Best story from this anthology. Am always open to reading book recommendations. Add me as a friend on Goodreads to share what we read with each other: www.goodreads.com/author/show/1955739...

Marvel Preview: The Marvels #10

Emmy Award-winning creator behind Veep and Avenue 5 Armando Iannucci makes his Marvel Comics debut alongside Ryan Stegman in a story about a strange Spidey conspiracy! The blurb at the beginning says “Busiek, the Dodsons, and Sabino bring you a sequel to the classic Amazing Fantasy #15 — but maybe not in the way you think!”, and that sums this up pretty well without spoiling anything. An engaging story with some drop-dead gorgeous art.

The most personal story (and my personal favorite of the issue) is Neil Gaiman‘s. With fantastic art and color by Steve McNiven, Richard Isanove, and letters by Todd Klein, the piece follows Gaiman from his time reading comics as a kid to adulthood and meeting Spidey himself. It’s a lovely tribute to both Spider-Man and the late Steve Ditko. McNiven does a fantastic job paying homage to Ditko, with these wonderfully scratchy angular depictions of the Sinister Six and the wallcrawler himself. The personal touch in this really speaks to how iconic Spider-Man is and the massive impact he’s had around the world. Ditko-esque Spider-Man in the best possible way

C.B. Cebulski as they team up to trace the comics history of the web-head across six decades—and BEYOND! Tantalizing trivia about the webbed wonder will be shared in this can't-miss panel, so be sure to swing by! Fans attending will also receive a special Just Some Guy” (written by Anthony Falcoe, illustrated by Micheal Cho), the opening story in the issue, and is the most simple one, but with a great heartful message in the end, that also manages to illustrate the way Spidey differentiates from other ‘Marvel’ heroes by proposing Lowe also broke down each of the eight stories featured in the one-shot, including behind-the-scenes tidbits on the issue’s extraordinary talent. The next story by Dan Slott and Jim Cheung, presenting a Spider-Man that is still going at the age of sixty, and whilst he still fights the likes of supervillains, he gets gunned down by a burglar, just like his Uncle Ben. Stunningly detailed by Jim Cheung, it is horrific seeing Spider-Man shot in the gut, lying in a pool of his own blood. However, Slott – being no stranger to the character – turns a story of initial horror into one of hope, with doctors doing their best to save him, whilst the rest of New York pays their respect to their hero.

Sinister 60th" is actually my favorite story here. Call me a softy, but when all those people lined up to see Spider-Man on his deathbed, that made me a little emotional. Cover image for 75960609975700151 AMAZING FANTASY 1000 CLARKE VARIANT, by Kurt Busiek & Marvel Various & Jim Cheung, in stores Wednesday, August 31, 2022 from marvel This is a 1000th issue of Amazing Fantasy and it stars good Ole Spiderman in 8 shorts written by a shed load of talent who clearly manage to celebrate Spiderman. story - Falcone/Cho - 8.5. It's really short, but nice. It has a message and the art is cool. Might be better, but it's an awesome opening for such a book.story - Lannucci/Stegman - 6. That was a rather boring story especially after the tone was set by the previous two... The art isn't th at good as well. Not bad, of course, but still... Plus this new villain is mediocre.
