Alex Ross' is definitely the best cover though.

I'll reserve judgement until after I see the John Romita Sr variant.
John Romita Sr.>Alex Ross

True that, JR SR is the man, we'll see what his cover is like.

Another variant cover. High Res image of that Alex Ross one:

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ OMG!

I hope they release a poster of that.

This is beautiful!

 

[mre]

He has six tentacles now?

 

[shinlyle]

That Alex Ross cover is good, better than what I can do (points to sig), but I still would have liked a more grand image of Spidey vs. Ock. There's no background, just Ock's tentacles.....personally, I think the JRJR version has a much stronger composition and is a more interesting image, altogether.

Sorry, I've started noticing backgrounds a LOT more...

^^ OMG!

I hope they release a poster of that.

Hey shin,

Usually when people post pics, it's all splashpage or poster-type material. I was pleasantly surprised to see a lot of your material was comic pages. I love the art of making comics and storytelling. I don't have a lot of time right now, but I'll definately take another look later.

you're allowed to derail threads when you're handing out compliments.....

I'm a bit torn here. Obviously my boycott of things peter parker is still in place (helped greatly by making Spider-Man so unlikable) but that said.....what they're doing with 600 and only raising the price slightly is really a counter to what comics seem to be doing recently (giving you less and asking for more money) and I want to support that. Plus making Ock more of a threat is definately a win. Now that said, they seem to be sticking MJ in the issue which would promise to be awkard as all hell and would probably pull me right out of the story. So my question: do I buy the thing to support marvel doing something I love or am I a hypocrite if I do? Or will the inclusion of marriages and MJ just feel so forced and off putting I'll just hate the thing midway?

It's an anniversary issue, so we'll forgive you if you buy it...

I would not see you as a hypocrite.

Stop thinking about it so much. If you want it, buy it. Comics shouldn't be such hard work...

 

[moraldeficiency]

Nah, more of a support a product you approve of type thing. Comics aren't hard, there's lots of great stuff right now from so many companies, I was just thinking that supporting an idea like what they're doing in 600 might outweigh the raping of my favorite hero. And try as I might to not think about stuff (and trust me I use enough alcohol and weed that spectacular efforts are made on this front) I can't help myself.

Buy it, man. Doc Ock is in it. What more reason do you need?

Apparently, an offer of free recreational drugs....

I just reread year one, two days ago. God that was a kick ass story.

Got this from Slott's forum at jinxworld.com.

Issue #600 of Amazing Spider-Man will be a huge, massive issue. According to the panel, Marvel is doing something that no one has done before, which is to do a super-sized issue that has a 60-page lead story written by Dan Slott and drawn by John Romita, Jr. In addition to that, there will be numerous 5-page stories by the rest of the Spider-Man writers. Then, also, there will be a 10-page story from Stan Lee himself. It will be a 104-page comic of all new material for only $4.99, and the story will thrust Spider-Man into his next year.

 

[Shockdingo]

Arrrgh $!%%!$#%...I really want this...Doc Ock, 60 pages or Romita and Slott...call me a hypocrite but I think I'll be getting this one...

 

[kguillou]

Awesomeness!! Spidey and Daredevil drawn by JRJR, it doesnt get any better than that!

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Got this from Slott's forum at jinxworld.com.

Wow, simply fantastic!

 

[Bugz]

So, did this come out today?

 

[bryanss3]

no it comes out July 15th

 

[JerseyJoker]

I dont like Ross' cover. I dont know why, the idea of that image is great...i just dont like his execution of it.

 

[ScottishFogg]

I guess we can safely presume from the statement "and the return of one of the most important people in Peter Parker's life" pretty much means it's going to be Mary Jane. And based on this solicit for the Annual:



I guess it pretty much clinches it--Aunt May and J. Jonah Jameson Sr. are the ones getting married. After all, if his most important wedding day was when he was getting married to MJ, then certainly his Aunt May getting married would be second, right? Not to mention if J. Jonah Jameson becomes his new cousin and thus family, that would certainly make Peter cringe.

I can't help but think how much more compelling and entertaining this would be if May still knew Peter was Spider-Man . . .

 

[stillanerd]

I can't help but think how much more compelling and entertaining this would be if May still knew Peter was Spider-Man . . .

Somehow, I get the feeling that Peter is going to reveal to Aunt May that he's Spider-Man. And, aside from her remembering everything as a result, the question fans will then ask Marvel will be, "If this was part of your plan all along, why the hell did you make her forget in the first place?"
