So I was just having my usual
Internet surfing last night… when I encountered this…

YEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
PARTY TIME!
From this leaked cover art of March’s “All-New Marvel NOW!” preview of new series starting in March and April, we can learn that The Amazing Spider-Man is going to be relaunched in April.
Several sites now carry these news and art, but it was over at Comic Book Movie that first leaked these. It has now been removed. Probably by Marvel’s request.

The traditional pre-SpOck Spider-Man
costume and the happy-go-lucky grin on the face definitely points out at the
titular Amazing Spider-Man as being Peter Parker. After putting up with the sacrilege that is Superior Spider-Man (or Spidey-Ock or SpOck) in my 2013 readings, I ecstatically welcome this development. My heart leaped with elation.
Finally, the rightful Spider-Man, Peter Parker, is coming back!
...

Then I stopped myself from hoping
too much. There has never been an official word from
Marvel about this – no exact and revealing details yet. And
there has no announcements yet that Superior
Spider-Man is going to end.
This could turn out to be
something that is different from what I’m expecting.
This could be a misdirection. A trick.
I should not hope too much. It will create more loathing and heartache if it turns out to be different from what I think it’s going to be.

Take note that Dan Slott (the
engineer of SpOck) is still going to be the writer of this title. And he has already done much misdirecting and
planting false hopes in the past already:
He did that tweet that made us speculate that the Superior Spider-Man
was going to be Miguel O’Hara (Spider-Man 2099). And he had surprisingly revealed in the first
Superior Spider-Man issue that Peter Parker’s consciousness was still actually lingering around (so that we’ll still
check out his book post-Peter), giving us hope that Peter’s return is inevitably
soon, and then senselessly kill off Peter a few issues later, deepening the injury on hoping fans.
So, I have to calm my excitement.

The new series could be merely telling
pre-SpOck flashback tales, similar to what Marvel
Knights: Spider-Man and Amazing
Spider-Man #700.1 to 700.5 did. It is a let-down possibility.
Also, the release date falls on
April. Again, Dan Slott could be messing
with us. It could be an elaborate April
Fools’ Day prank.
Still, I can’t help but hope that
this will truly turn out to be the thrilling return of Peter Parker.
