Amazing Fantasy (2022) #1000

Product Information

In the Flesh” (written by Ho Che Anderson, and illustrated by Giuseppe Camuncoli), the closer this issue gets to the horror theme, this is a story that I believe would’ve suited better for a different kind of hero, one closer to the psychological corners, and whose main point isn’t that clear, like ‘Moon Knight’, just to mention one. The art of Camuncoli does a great job at giving us that unsettling vibe that the main character in here emanates, but unfortunately, the idea is never really that well exploited, or developed. It is interesting, and is the one that feels the most detached from the rest of the roster, but there isn’t that much to it, compared to the previous ones. Just Some Guy” (written by Anthony Falcoe, illustrated by Micheal Cho), the opening story in the issue, and is the most simple one, but with a great heartful message in the end, that also manages to illustrate the way Spidey differentiates from other ‘Marvel’ heroes by proposing Unlike Action Comics and Detective Comics, there have never been a thousand issues of Amazing Fantasy, a book that was cancelled, revived and cancelled again. The numbering of this issue is for marketing purposes and as a way of celebrating the web-slinger's 60th anniversary. Like these particularly-numbered issues, Amazing Fantasy #1000 features a series of short stories by various writers and artists, celebrating Spider-Man in their own way. With Great Power..." is Neil Gaiman's secret Spider-Fan origin, and it's well written. It's sweet. A little self-centered, I guess.

So, overall, this is a good book. Not all stories are great, some of them are boring or just odd here. They feel really unnecessary and kinda ruin the book. But on the other hand we have some masterpieces, which is just so rare in the modern comics. story - Anderson/Camuncoli - 5.5. The art is weird and the story is messed up as hell. There's almost no sense at all. Yeah, it's cool when Spidey saves somebody - it's just could be made much better. Arriving in August, AMAZING FANTASY #1000 will be a giant-sized one-shot brought together by some of the industry’s most acclaimed creators. The collection of stories will explores the past and future of Amazing Spider-Man storytelling in tales that leave a profound impact on the Spider-Man mythos and showcase why Spidey is one of the most beloved heroes in history. New York, NY— July 15, 2022 —Sixty years ago, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko introduced the world to Spider-Man in the historic AMAZING FANTASY #15! Over the course of six web-slinging decades, Peter Parker has inspired millions of fans and secured his spot as one of the most iconic fictional characters of all time. To celebrate this milestone anniversary, a lineup of incredible creators from throughout the comics industry will come together next month in AMAZING FANTASY #1000, an outstanding collection of stories that explore the past, present and future of Amazing Spider-Man storytelling and showcase why Spidey is one of the most beloved heroes in history. The third story is written by Scottish satirist Armando Iannucci, collaborating with known Spidey artist Ryan Stegman, in which Peter faces a new villain “Conspiriton”, who induces through hallucinogens that alter people’s perceptions of the media and release a ton of conspiracy theories onto New York. Having directed a comic book movie, which was The Death of Stalin, Iannucci maintains his satirical edge in Marvel’s New York, where media can be easily manipulated and for J. Jonah Jameson to revel as an egomaniac. However, we are not done with the Daily Bugle as Rainbow Rowell and Olivier Coipel’s story showcases Peter’s photography, taking pictures that show a warm side of New York, rather than taking pictures of Spider-Man that will be used to ridicule him by JJJ.Emmy Award-winning creator behind Veep and Avenue 5 Armando Iannucci makes his Marvel Comics debut alongside Ryan Stegman in a story about a strange Spidey conspiracy!

There are tales here that celebrate what makes Spider-Man great, of course, but there are also unconventional tales like Slott’s story showing us Spider-Man in the far future or Rainbow Rowell and Olivier Coipel focusing on Peter’s photography. That mixes things up, making many of the stories in this collection quite personal. Join the industry’s top talent in celebrating Spider-Man’s birthday when AMAZING FANTASY #1000 arrives in August. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for variant cover reveals, creator announcements, and more! Slaves of the Witch-Queen” (written by Kurt Busiek, illustrated by Terry Dodson), the funniest and most surprising entry of the issue; essentially a sequel to the short-story from the original 1962 ‘Amazing Fantasy #15’, which I won’t spoil because just realizing what it is gives it so much effectiveness to the reading, but yeah, it is pleasing and hilarious what they did in this one.

story - Falcone/Cho - 8.5. It's really short, but nice. It has a message and the art is cool. Might be better, but it's an awesome opening for such a book. Ho Che Anderson and Giuseppe Camuncoli are up next with a wild sci-fi tale focused on a woman who is hospitalized for thinking there are spiders inside her. The tale is one of the more obtuse looks at Spider-Man in this collection, eventually finding the main character running into Spider-Man. It ends well, though, showing Spidey cares for everyone. Unfortunately, because of who Spider-Man is, many of the stories in this anthology tread on a lot of the same ground: there’s a huge focus on his commitment to responsibility, his tragic origin and subsequently tragic life, and his impact on the people of New York. This isn’t to say any of these stories are bad, but it would’ve been nice to have a bit more variety in the types of stories we got. I would’ve loved to get more time with Peter and his supporting cast, but the length of the issue and stories didn’t really allow for that. Coipel’s art is pretty, but this is basically just Rainbow Rowell writing an idiotic and annoying JJJ. It’s fine I guess, but Coipel getting to draw all the different characters is the best part. Amazing Fantasy #1000 is due out in August, with a cover from John Romita, Jr. and variant covers by Peach Momoko, J. Scott Campbell, Taurin Clarke, Steve McNiven, and Joe Quesada (some of which are seen above).

story - Lannucci/Stegman - 6. That was a rather boring story especially after the tone was set by the previous two... The art isn't th at good as well. Not bad, of course, but still... Plus this new villain is mediocre. Rainbow Rowell and Olivier Coipel spotlight the average day of Peter Parker’s hectic job as a Daily Bugle photographer The next story by Dan Slott and Jim Cheung, presenting a Spider-Man that is still going at the age of sixty, and whilst he still fights the likes of supervillains, he gets gunned down by a burglar, just like his Uncle Ben. Stunningly detailed by Jim Cheung, it is horrific seeing Spider-Man shot in the gut, lying in a pool of his own blood. However, Slott – being no stranger to the character – turns a story of initial horror into one of hope, with doctors doing their best to save him, whilst the rest of New York pays their respect to their hero. The most personal story (and my personal favorite of the issue) is Neil Gaiman‘s. With fantastic art and color by Steve McNiven, Richard Isanove, and letters by Todd Klein, the piece follows Gaiman from his time reading comics as a kid to adulthood and meeting Spidey himself. It’s a lovely tribute to both Spider-Man and the late Steve Ditko. McNiven does a fantastic job paying homage to Ditko, with these wonderfully scratchy angular depictions of the Sinister Six and the wallcrawler himself. The personal touch in this really speaks to how iconic Spider-Man is and the massive impact he’s had around the world. Ditko-esque Spider-Man in the best possible wayWhen it's Mary Jane's turn, she hears the stories leading up to her visit, and she whispers a time asked how he saved her, and he replies that those were times she saved him, leading them to share a kiss. As soon as she leaves, the doctors race in hearing a flatline, only for Spider-Man to have jumped out the window as the next guy came in all to stop another mugging. Mary Jane chides him for being naked under a hospital gown doing so, as a doctor readies to discharge Spidey into Mary Jane's custody and another doctor ensures he doesn't write that down out of respect for Spider-Man. At their home, with well wishes and flowers from other heroes, Peter finds the goodie bag Mary Jane brought was minus a birthday cake slice as she ate it, which she does every year. This August, Marvel Comics will proudly celebrate the 60th anniversary of Spider-Man in a new landmark issue, AMAZING FANTASY #1000! So I am still a big kid at heart, my wife prefers me that way, and I gave a bit of the nerdiness to our daughters, and it makes them happy too.

The Daily Bugle begins showing people what they secretly want to believe one morning, and all hell breaks loose in NYC. While the story is an okay enough take on the whole "Fake News" shit, the highlight of this is Stegman’s pencils. His Superior Spider-Man art is still some of my favorite Spider-Man art to this day, so it's just nice seeing him draw the character again. His action scenes just always have so much energy to them. Spiderman has always been a favorite of mine even when I went through some times of partners who thought I should grow up and leave comics to kids or nerds. I guess I loved and left them, I just never was a fan of censorship in a relationship. You do change each other but never demand something of the other you found charming to begin with. Sinister 60th” (written by Dan Slott, illustrated by Jim Cheung), easily the best in the lot, and the most emotional one; Spidey is celebrating his 60th anniversary, and now, an old Peter, and an old MJ, are anticipating their special birthday dinner, but an unfortunate turn of events will put Pete’s life at risk. Incredibly emotive and reflective over the true meaning of the responsibility by Spidey, and with strong nods to Raimi’s vision in ‘Spider-man 2’, when it comes to the focus. Also, Cheung’s art is highly pleasing to look at, despite not being the best in the issue. It is almost inconceivable that Slott wrote it. story - Rowell/Coipel - 7.5. Very short story and it's not like it's an outstanding thing. Just a cute story. However, even if I like Coipel, his art here was not that good... He can draw better. Spider-Man yells at a teenage Vulture II to go easy on his elder as they fight, but Vulture II brings up Spider-Man's youth and how he fought the original; the superhero conceding to his logic. In his mask earpiece, Spider-Man answers a call from his wife, Mary Jane Watson-Parker, letting him know he's late for his birthday dinner reservation which she made. As he webs up Vulture II, she tells him that he doesn't need to leave a note as his work will speak for itself and he hurries over to her. He promises no more stops and they end the call, but he hears a cry for help and stops to help, but his old age slows his reflexes and a common mugger shoots Spider-Man repeatedly before fleeing, leaving the woman he saved to call for an ambulance.Slaves of the Witch-Queen" is really weird. There's a big, flashing question of "Why?" but it's by Busiek, so it's at least well-written. It's not something I would've put in this anthology, but it's not bad.

Totally deserved 10. That's a brilliant story with a brilliant art. It's just something you wait from the comic like this. And it's not a typical story, it has a few unexpected moves. I'm really impressed.
