WHAT DID SPIDER-MAN DO?! Peter's on the outs with the FF. He's on the outs with the Avengers. He's on the outs with Aunt May! No one wants to see Spider-Man - except for Doctor Octopus. Ock's on Spider-Man's tail and the Master Planner has something truly terrible planned for when he gets his tentacles on Spidey. All that, and what does Tombstone have planned? Just in time for Spider-Man's 60th Anniversary, a new volume of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN begins, and 2022 is going to be the biggest year for Spider-Man EVER! Don't believe us? We brought John Romita Jr. back JUST FOR THIS!

Amazing Spider-Man #1 #6.

THIS COMIC IS FINE.

There's nothing of note requiring a relaunch.

Zeb Wells has been working on ASM a bit near the end of Nick Spencer's run. He's not a new name here.

JR JR returning to his flagship title has happened before. The last time was ASM #30, not #1.

Spider-Man has disappeared before, in ASM #251. He returned in ASM #252, not #1.

We don't get the 'what happened' in the six month time jump shown because everything is written like TV now. Look for the clever reveal to be both minimal, disappointing, and unnecessary when it occurs.

It could be argued doing this within 5 issues of an actual anniversary is insulting. I won't fight you on that.

On the upside, JRJR looks better here than on 90% of his DC work, and 90% of his return to Marvel on the FF a few months back.

You'll probably basically enjoy it if you don't think about it too hard.

Like how adding the 'THWIP' sound effect to the cover is terrible. Really don't think about that.
