Following the leak that Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos will launch a new "Amazing Spider-Man" series as a part of All-New Marvel NOW! later this year, The New York Daily News has not only confirmed the series' existence, but revealed that Peter Parker will be back in control of his body by the series' April debut. “We’ve gone over 30 issues without Peter Parker, so when we let him out of that box and he gets to put on that costume again and he gets to swing through the sky, it’s going to be the greatest feeling,” Slott told the New York Daily News The publication was unclear whether Slott moving on to "Amazing Spider-Man" signals the end of "Superior Spider-Man." Furthermore, no details were given on what might happen to the "Superior" sister titles -- "Superior Foes of Spider-Man" and "Superior Spider-Man Team-Up" -- should "Superior Spider-Man" end its series run. It's likely Marvel will have more news in that direction as "Amazing's" release date approaches. Peter Parker returning to his body the around the same time Marc Webb's "Amazing Spider-Man 2" film launches is unlikely to be coincidental, though Slott has had a plan in place for Spider-Man since before the debut of "Superior Spider-Man" #1, and had to be resolute in his outward stance that Peter wasn't coming back. “To do that for a solid year of my life, that’s the hardest thing I’ve had to do -- to look small children in the eye at a convention and lie to them,” the writer said. “One of them with an honest-to- Little League uniform and a quivering lip. Inside, part of me was dying.” It's clear he's been playing the long game for some time, and only time will tell how Peter will come back to his body. After all, the last time readers saw Peter Parker, it was as a ghost inside Doc Ock's brain, which was wiped out completely during the series' first few issues. "We did it this way because no one was expecting it. Everyone out there assumed we'd have a big reveal later. People thought we'd bring Peter back in a year's time -- or right before the next Spider-Man movie," Slott said of the ghostly Peter Parker shortly after the debut of "Superior Spider-Man" #1. "Everyone was so savvy with how this all works that I thought the best way to keep people off their game was to just put that card on the table right from the get go. You're all so sure it was coming -- Well? Here it is! But if you think that's all there is, get ready to be wrong." While "Superior Spider-Man" was a huge commercial success for Marvel, fan reaction was widespread, with some even sending death threats to Slott through social media in the wake of the change. However, critical response for the series as a whole has been positive, with the book hitting #11 on CBR's top 100 comics of 2013. "Amazing Spider-Man" #1 hits stores in April.

Remember Peter Parker? Brown hair, a little nerdy, internationally beloved pop culture icon? Peter's been mostly absent from Marvel Comics as of late, since the dawn of the "Superior Spider-Man" era in January 2013. As you are very likely familiar with, a circa late 2012 Dan Slott-written storyline saw perennial nemesis Doctor Octopus switched brains with an unwilling Spider-Man, just before Doc Ock's ailing body met its seemingly permanent end. Things looked just about as bad as they could get for Spidey, but a shred of Peter Parker's consciousness stuck around in his body to try and keep Otto Octavius in check -- until Doc Ock discovered it and quickly had it expunged. Since then, Doc Ock has been fully steering the Spider-Man ship, doling out justice with a distinctly supervillain-esque approach. And despite some rather vocal outcry, "Superior Spider-Man" has been both a financial and critical hit for Marvel. But -- as Slott freely admits -- Peter Parker was never going to stay away forever, especially with a major theatrical release -- "Amazing Spider-Man 2," out May 2 -- close on the horizon. As of April, he's returning in a new volume of "Amazing Spider-Man," the traditional flagship Spidey series, starting with a new #1 from Slott and long-time Spider-Man artist Humberto Ramos. The new book will launch shortly before the new film debuts, with a first arc featuring movie villain Electro. CBR News spoke with Slott to learn slightly more about the new "Amazing Spider-Man" -- with several months of story left to be revealed, he's keeping the hows and whys of Peter's return a closely guarded secret -- and opine on the impact of "Superior Spider-Man," which wraps in April with the "Goblin Nation" arc. "All the way up to this new launch, every issue is a bullet in the gun," Slott said. "Every issue, some major domino is falling over."

With Amazing Spider Man 2 coming out soon, it was a no brainer for Marvel. I always assumed when the movie came closer to release, the status quo would revert back. Yet, Superior Spider-Man was an interesting idea that I'm happy they actually stuck with as long as they did. http://facomics.com/ First Appearance Comics and Games - A site for comic fans, from comic fans.

Look at Stunner. He could carry out as Superior Spiderman in a similar fashion. It would be great to keep him around.
