I had a lovely chat with Joe Kelly and Pepe Larraz this weekend about Amazing Spider-Man #1000, coming from Marvel Comics in September 2026. And rather than the cap of their run, kicking off their next run… and he's a small, black and white low-res look and what you will find inside. I recalled to Pepe Larraz that, when Mark Millar announced he had Marvel's best superhero artist and DC's best superhero artist for his next projects, I suggested it would be Pepe Larraz and Jorge Jiménez. And indeed it was… and as we take a look inside the 1000th issue, we are led to recall that moment in the second Spider-Man film when Spider-Man stopped the runaway subway train before it crashed into the city… this time, with Spider-Man fighting the new Ravage, Peter Parker's life flashes before his eyes and a cable car snaps…  Joe said, "We were talking about how there's that excellent moment in Sam Raimi's second movie where New Yorkers help Spider-Man. It's such a beautiful moment, and they're just so into it. And so, we were trying to capture that idea. And literally at dinner that night, we're like, what if there was this spirit of New York and that came to life? And we kind of pitched it the next day. It did not fly. And I was glad it did not fly." So… what did???
