Well it was inevitable and its finally been confirmed, although I must admit there have been times I believed Slott when he said Peter Parker is dead and will not return. Amazing Spider-Man will return in April with Slott continuing to scribe the tales of the wall crawler and Ramos on art.
This announcement comes as a double edge sword for me. I am happy that Peter Parker will be returning to the pages of a Spider-Man comic book but, well, I have really enjoyed Superior Spider-Man haven't you? Doc Ock Spidey has been nothing but entertaining and putting this socially deranged former super villain into the body of New York's greatest hero has turned out have been a stroke of genius.
Amazing Spider-Man may be returning, but now this means Dan Slott's masterful plan for his return will be arriving in the pages of Superior Spider-Man and if it is anything like the carefully laid out plan for the original "Death" of Peter Parker in issue #700 this is gonna be one hell of a ride in the issues running up to Amazing Spider-Man #1 in April 2014.
In an ideal world there will be a way for both Superior and Amazing to co-exist but I can't see a way this will be possible. What does this mean for the other Superior titles including The Superior Foes of Spider-Man which has turned out to be a surprising hit. Nick Spencer and Steve Lieber have done a great job on this title.
One things for sure April is turning out to be another stellar month of #1's for Marvel and the return of there most high profile hero just before the release of his next feature film is a welcome one.
