Spider-Man is the ultimate underdog: always getting just a whiff of his big goals and dreams, only for it to be dashed - but he keeps trying, and takes the small wins when he can. Peter Parker is the modern-day Charlie Brown (with life as that football), and he is the central part of Marvel Comics - something that is no different in his current lead series, The Amazing Spider-Man. So, now that we've established why we all love Spider-Man, let's get to the next question: what is the next Amazing Spider-Man release date?

Ben 10 co-creator (and longtime comics writer) Joe Kelly is charting this current Amazing Spider-Man run, pitting Spidey and his allies against a new superpowered serial killer called Torment. Which allies? Well, there's Eddie Brock, who's currently in charge of the Carnage symbiote, and Mary Jane Watson, who is currently... Venom? I know, I know, it's all a bit overwhelming, not least of which because of the pulse-pounding synopsis for the next issue. 

"DEATH SPIRAL - CONCLUSION!" reads Marvel's teaser for the next Amazing Spider-Man issue, "Torment will get away with murder. Unless SPIDER-MAN does the UNTHINKABLE…"

The Amazing Spider-Man #27 release date is April 22, with new issues coming every two to three weeks.

How many comics of Spider-Man are there?

The Amazing Spider-Man is the main Spider-Man comic, but it's one of several currently going on a monthly basis. But in this main The Amazing Spider-Man title, issue #27 counts as the 991st issue of this series. At this rate, Amazing Spider-Man #1000 should be coming at us around October 2026.

Who is the original Spider-Man in the comics?

The first Spider-Man ever created was - of course - Peter Parker in 1962's Amazing Fantasy #15 by Steve Ditko and Stan Lee. There have been other Spider-Men (and Spider-heroes) since, but Peter Parker retains the mantle as the Spider-Man and the most popular one, by a large margin.

Thanks to the Spider-Verse, Peter Parker isn't the first Spider-Man in the Marvel multiverse - if you can be liberal with the 'Man' part of it. In 2022's Edge of Spider-Verse #1, it was revealed that in an alternate universe, there was a Spider-Dinosaur in the Mesozoic Era. His name is Pter Ptarker, and he is - of course - a Pteranodon. Thanks to a meteorite containing alien spiders, he switched bodies with a T-Rex and became.... the Amazing Spider-Rex.

Who is Peter Parker currently dating?

Peter Parker is currently dating a nurse named Shay Marken. Marken works at the villains' rehab facility known as the Ravencroft Institute, and came to meet Peter Parker through Peter's ex, Mary Jane Watson; it turns out she is the niece of a patient of Shay's. While as of yet she has no secret identity or ulterior motive, she has gone through the seeming superhero rite of passage in that already she has died and was brought back to life.

Marvel's most reliable superhero has proven he can do a whole lot more than just 'whatever a spider can.' Swing into Spidey's history with Popverse's...
