Article Summary

Zeb Wells leaves Joe Kelly a surprise in Amazing Spider-Man #60 with the mischievous demon Rek-Rap.
Rek-Rap, a Spider-Man-inspired demon from limbo, adds chaos with his dangerous antics and love for Spider-lore.
Created by Ed McGuinness and Zeb Wells, Rek-Rap survived the Dark Web storyline and formed a super-Spider-team.
Joe Kelly, known for defining Deadpool, may bring a fresh take on Rek-Rap in the upcoming Spider-Man series.

Traditionally, when a long-running writer leaves a corporate comic book for a new creative team, they tidy things up, put everything back in the box, and leave things as they left them. Of late, there tends to be a couple of things deliberately left out of the box, so the creator can be seen to have made their mark on the character. So how is Zeb Wells going to leave Amazing Spider-Man for Joe Kelly? Will everything be as it was, or will there be a few pieces left? Spoilers on… and there may be a few more to follow.

Because no, I'm not talking about Paul, Jackpot or Mary Jane. I'm talking about Rek-Rap. A demon from limbo who has become so enraptured, enamoured with Spider-Man, Peter Parker and the whole Spider-lore that he has been attempting to imitate it in a madcap, cartoony and occasionally very dangerous fashion.

Created by Ed McGuinness and Zeb Wells, and surviving the Dark Web storyline, he hung around longer than he had any right to. Even getting involved in creating a super-Spider-team to take down the Green Goblin

Don't worry, he is a demon, he was fine. And now, in Zeb Wells' final issue, Amazing Spider-Man #60, out this Wednesday, Ed McGuinness and Zeb Wells make it very clear that it's Joe Kelly's problem now…

You know, Joe Kelly is the writer who made Deadpool the man he is today, might he have a similar take on Rek-Rap?
