A few years back I was happy that Marvel stopped publishing a plethora of  Spider-Man books and limited the Web-Crawler to only Amazing Spider-Man. Now, it looks like there is a new ongoing title that will be coming out called Web of Spider-Man which will also feature Spider-Girl stories as well.

Marvel had this to say about it:

“With the ‘Gauntlet’ storyline starting up and many classic adversaries of Spider-man coming back to the book, we wanted to find a place to tell you more about them without it eating up too many pages of the thrice-weekly Amazing Spider-Man,” explained series editor Steve Wacker. “So while were tossing ideas around on where to best put that stuff, beleaguered assistant Tom Brennan came up with the notion to bring back the “Web” title as a way to give a home to stories to people caught up in Pete’s life. Starting with the first issue’s Kaine story by JM DeMatteis and then continuing onto stories about Electro, the Rhino, the Lizard and many more by Web-Head Fred van Lente and regular Spidey artist Barry Kitson, the stories here directly impact what we’re doing in Amazing Spider-Man!”

I love Spidey. Hell, I even have a Spider-Man tattoo, but I don’t think I am going to pick up this book. Amazing Spider-Man has been one of the best books over the past few years, resulting in my falling for the character over and over again. I am not  fan of this new idea, but the first issue has a $3.99 tag on it.  So, you know… Plus, it will have  a zombie variant cover. Look for it in comic shops this October!
