Marvel Plans More Numbering Shenanigans with Amazing Spider-Man #16.HU in March

Published Tue, 18 Dec 2018 13:48:54 -0600

If you thought the whole dual numbering system was difficult enough to understand, you're probably not going to be very pleased with Marvel's plans for Amazing Spider-Man in March. That month kicks off the Hunted storyline in Amazing Spider-Man #17, which sees Kraven the Hunter return for what Marvel is billing as a "huge" storyline.

So huge, in fact, that it cannot be contained in a single ongoing title. That's right, in addition to Amazing Spider-Man #17 and #18, March will also see the release of Amazing Spider-Man #16.HU, not to be confused with February's Amazing Spider-Man #16.

Where will it fit in with Legacy numbering? Who knows?! It's a chance to sell three Amazing Spider-Man books in March, and that's all that really matters to Marvel after all.
