SCOOP: Joe Kelly To Take Over Amazing Spider-Man From Zeb Wells

It seems that Joe Kelly will be taking over the Amazing Spider-Man ongoing series for Marvel from Zeb Wells. based on Moon Knight #0

It appears that inside the Moon Knight: First Of Konshu #0 free bagged and board comic book received by some comic book stores today, is a preview of what's coming for Amazing Spider-Man. And while I haven't seen inside, and I don't know anyone willing to rip the bag right now, it seems that Joe Kelly will be taking over the Amazing Spider-Man ongoing series for Marvel from Zeb Wells. Based on nothing more than a circle label on the back cover of Moon Knight: First Of Konshu #0.

Oh sorry, let's zoom in. And enhance. And do a new watermark.

So there we go.

Zeb Wells and John Romita Jr relaunched Amazing Spider-Man from Marvel Comics over two years ago, It kicked off with Spider-Man hated for some unknown crime, with Peter Parker and Mary Jane split, and MJ living with Paul – and suddenly having kids. The series brought back former Zeb Wells bad guys, a Dark Web, killed off Ms Marvel, saw MJ get powers of her own as a Gang War kicked off, and now has Peter Parker fighting himself, courtesy of the returning Green Goblin, Norman Osborn. But it was announced that their run was coming to an end, beginning in September... and now it looks like Joe Kelly will be writing the series going forward.

Joe Kelly is a longstanding comic book writer, screenwriter and publisher, co-creator of Ben 10, Big Hero 6 and Baymax. In comics, he is credited for making Deadpool a critically acclaimed hit for the first time as well as introducing a meta nature to the character along with fourth wall breaks. He has written for Uncanny X-Men, JLA, Superman and Action Comics – including "What's So Funny About Truth, Justice & the American Way?" which introduced The Elite and Manchester Black. He is also co-creator of comic books Steampunk, M. Rex, Ballast, Four Eyes, I Kill Giants, and Douglas Fredericks and the House of They. He was also one of the Brand New Day writers on Amazing Spider-Man alongside Dan Slott and Zeb Wells. His Spider-Man work is about to be collected in Omnibus form in January, which seems a well timed (if delayed) publication date.

One of the finest – and funniest – writers in comics spins amazing tales of Spider-Man! As one of the key creators in Spidey's "Brand New Day" era, Joe Kelly crafted a series of memorable adventures for the wall-crawler – including a clash with crime bosses Hammerhead and Mister Negative, and a romantic reunion with the Black Cat! Peter's pal Harry Osborn suits up as the American Son! Kraven's family embarks on a grim hunt – and it's spider season! But when Peter Parker's nonstop life pits him against Baron Zemo, the results will be downright savage! Plus: More Spidey tales as only Kelly can write them, including a riotous team-up with Deadpool! Collecting AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (1999) #575-576, #595-599, #606-607, #611, #617 and #625; NON-STOP SPIDER-MAN #1-5; SAVAGE SPIDER-MAN #1-5; MARVEL FANFARE (1996) #2-3; and WEBSPINNERS: TALES OF SPIDER-MAN #7-9 – plus material from AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: EXTRA! #1 and #3; AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (1999) #577, #600, #612, #634-637 and #647; and SPIDER-MAN: GRIM HUNT – THE KRAVEN SAGA.

What that doesn't contain is a curio of a very story that appeared recently in Amazing Spider-Man #50.

That saw Spider-Man visiting Doctor Strange and failing to save him from a mystical malady.

He was dismissed by Strange with a note saying "The End… For Now?"

As well as Moon Knight #0, is this where Joe Kelly's new run began?
