The Amazing Spider-Man #1000 Preview Teases a Bleak Fate for Aunt May

The upcoming issue #1000 of The Amazing Spider-Man, penned by Joe Kelly and illustrated by Pepe Larraz, promises to be a monumental release. This marks the first time an ongoing Marvel series has reached the staggering milestone of issue #1000. Marvel is unleashing a star-studded lineup of creators and fresh narratives to commemorate this achievement.

However, the spotlight is on the main storyline crafted by Kelly and Larraz, featuring a potentially dire scenario for Aunt May, Peter Parker's beloved aunt. A sneak peek from Marvel hints at a cliffhanger from the previous issue #35, where May suffers a severe stroke. This sets the stage for a gripping tale that explores the grim aftermath of Aunt May's affliction.

The preview gallery reveals an ominous turn, with May failing to recognize Peter upon her awakening, suggesting she has endured significant brain damage from the stroke. While there's a chance she could suffer another fatal stroke, the preview also leaves the door open to Marvel establishing a new reality where Aunt May no longer recalls her cherished nephew.

This would undoubtedly be a source of emotional torment for Peter Parker. The issue is set to hit comic stands on September 30, with a second printing scheduled for October 28, featuring new sketch variants of Larraz and John Romita, Jr.'s covers. For additional details, IGN has more on the significant developments in this issue.
