Ben Reilly Swings Into Action As Spider-Man In New Amazing Spider-Man #75

All the new artwork shown in this trailer makes me happy Patrick Gleason is drawing this. I always thought it was a shame that he did so little in Spencer's run.

Wells wrote a few issues during the BND era, but the think tank was Dan Slott, Mark Waid and Marc Guggenheim.

Thanks, thought he was in there, but I guess it was only for a story.

Zeb Wells is best known for Shed. The story where Lizard ate his kid. Not a lot of people liked it if I recall

Wow, I knew I remembered not enjoying him on a Spider-Man story, I just can't believe I forgot he was on Shed, never liked what it did to Lizard.

Yeah, they're going to have to knock this out of the park to keep me on board. I have nothing against Ben, but he's just not my Spider-Man, he's a great character, but he needs a different lease on life, to be differentiated somehow from Peter.

Peter out of commission is giving me Superior Spider-Man vibes, the thrice monthly think tank thing has me thinking BND, neither of which were highlights in the last few decades of Spider-Man stories. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Zeb Wells a big part or at least a part of the thinktank roster back then? If so, it's only furthering the BND connection. Overall, not excited for this, ASM is always on my pull list, but this could be a time to drop it, hopefully I'm wrong and this is great stuff.

Giving me Brand New Day flashbacks with the three-writer think tank and thrice-a-month schedule. That being said, most vitrol for BND came from what One More Day undid rather than BND on its own. Plus, even with Peter in the hospital, this status quo is bound to be better than the BND status-quo, especially since MJ is still by his side.

Excited for this story, Ben deserves a second shot at being Spider-Man, and this isn't too big of a change to turn me off like Superior Spider-Man was.

Seems they are trying to capture the BND vibe but with Ben. Also it seems that Pete and MJ are married again, given you can see a wedding ring on MJ's finger

Not into Spider-Man knock-offs. Miles was able to convince me, but I still can't figure why they don't give him another name.

This guy, I have zero interest in.

Personally I like Ben. Yeah, Miles needs a new name to as long as it isn't Kid Arachnid.

Just amazed that it wasn't relaunched with a new #1. We know how much Marvel loves doing that

They love anniversary issues just as much.
