Spidertastic Summer 2014

So far, Peter Parker returned to life in The Superior Spider-Man No. 31, only to face struggles to adjust to the world as it was changed by his successor Otto Octavius. Now, get ready for one heck of a fun summer comic book season, Spider-Man readers as Marvel has quite a number of Spidey adventures to look out for.

First, June 11 will mark the release of The Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 3 No. 1.2, which will center around the beginning of Clash, the original Spider-Man's first super foe. Then on June 25, The Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 3 No. 3 will be released to continue from where ASM Vol. 3 No. 2 left out, but get ready as the Black Cat is about to assault the original Spider-Man, unaware that the Spidey she last met up with was Otto in Peter's body.

July 9 will see the volume 2 launch of Spider-Man 2099. Yes, Miguel O'Hara has his own series again, except we will be seeing his life in the present time. On the same day, Marvel will release 100th Anniversary Special: Spider-Man, which will feature a possible future where Peter Parker, in the year 2061 A.D., deals with Kingpin and the Venom symbiotic. The same day will also see the release of The Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 3 No. 1.3, which will center around the original Spider-Man's first battle with his first supervillain enemy.

Later on August 6, The Superior Spider-Man will return with issue 32, featuring an untold tale of Otto Octavius as part of Marvel's countdown to "Spider-Verse", the upcoming storyarc featuring various versions of Spider-Man from across multiple universes within the Marvel Universe canon. This upcoming arc will begin in The Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 3 No. 9 (coming in November).

Last but not least, August 27 will see the release of The Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 3 No. 1.4, to continue the story in ASM Vol. 3 No. 1.3.
