This is no dream. This is no hallucination. New York is being over-run by spiders.
Well, sort of.
Word is coming out of the House of Ideas that the next story-arc of Amazing Spider-Man will see the citizens of Manhattan island getting infected by the wall-crawlers own powers. Going under the title "Infected", this story-arc by longtime Spidey creators Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos will see Spider-Man trying to stem the tide of a spider-powered crime wave while also trying to get to the bottom of this "revoltin' development" as fellow NYC-ite the Thing would say.
There's no word to the whereabouts of the residents on Yancy Street, but this comic book event will go beyond Spider-Man's world and include the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, Venom, Spider-Girl, Spider-Woman and even long-time foes the Sinister Six.
Look for the first outbreak of Spidey's "Infested" storyline to begin in April's Amazing Spider-Man #659 and more in the Free Comic Book Day 2011 edition of Amazing Spider-Man on May 7th.
Hmm I have really been liking Slott at the helm here, but I hope this turns out bette than when the everyone was turned into symbiotes.
saw the ad in one of my comics yesterday. Could be cool. So i guess this means that Big Time is over? I thought it was supposed to go on for a while.
I just jumped on the ASM band wagaon a couple of issues ago and this looks good. I’ve become a big fan of Dan Slott’s becasue you can always tell he has fun when he’s writing becasue it shows in his work.
From everything I’ve read and seen about this, I think it sounds pretty cool, can’t wait!!!!
Spider woman is wearing a scarlet spider hoodie! I hope every Spidey event could lead to a Scarlet Spider revival.
That ad (or cover?) on this page looks really, really stupid. Ramos just doesn’t work for me as a Spider-Man artist.
@TheNextChampion –i disagree..i just loved his stuff in Big Time.
did the article say that there is going to be a sinister six book?
@theNextChampion- well said
@TheNextChampion I love the theme of it. It’s silly and thought provoking. But there is a whooole lot about Spider-man that ramos just can’t seem to get right. And i HATE the way he draws teeth. the hell is wrong with those damn TEETH!?
Scarlet Spider-Woman! HAHAHAHAA
