Marvel Comics has some big plans for Spider-Man this November.
So far, the Brand New Day era of the mainstream Marvel Universe (Earth 616) had come to an end in "The Amazing Spider-Man" Vol. 1 No. 647 (released yesterday). Now get ready as Marvel Comics is prepared to start a new Spider-Man-starred story arc, focusing on an age of big changes in the life of Peter Parker/Spider-Man (the mainstream Peter Parker of course), involving the arrival of larger threats, new villains, and a big chance to lighten up Peter's life. This storyarc is called "Big Time", and the first chapter of it will be presented in "The Amazing Spider-Man" Vol. 1 No. 648 (coming November 10). Make sure to get this issue as it will not only determine which Spidey characters stay and which ones go, but also feature new developments of J. Jonah Jameson's NY mayor career and the Sinister Six.
For all you Hobgoblin fans out there, look out for "The Amazing Spider-Man" Vol. 1 No. 649 (coming November 24) as it will feature the return of the Hobgoblin in part 2 of "Big Time", but this time with a new secret identity, which you'll need to find out for yourself once you read it.
To tie in with the "Big Time" storyarc, Marvel will launch the comic book series "Osborn", focusing on Norman Osborn as he spends time in the world's top supermax-security jailhouse after the end of the Brand New Day era. The first issue will be released November 17. In addition, Marvel will relaunch "Spider-Girl" for the first time, meaning the start of "Spider-Girl" Vol. 2. Unlike Vol. 1 of this series (which focused on May "Mayday" Parker, the daughter of Earth-982's Peter Parker), Vol. 2 will focus on a new Spider-Girl, Anya Corazon. The first volume 2 issue of series will be released on the same day as "Osborn" No. 1.
For all you fans of the "Ultimate Marvel" titles (all set in Earth-1610), Marvel will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of the "Ultimate Marvel" launch with "Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man" No. 150 (coming November 24). This will feature a whole variety of Ultimate Marvel characters together in one issue, including the New Ultimates. As a bonus, it will include a reprint of "Ultimate Spider-Man Super Special" No. 1, done by an all-star artist line up.
That's all the big news you need to know about "Spider-Man" titles for this month.
