Bold Fashion Choices--The New, New Spider-Man

In last week's Amazing Spider-Man (not this week's, where Mephisto turns into an evil red pigeon in order to change history--be bold, Joe Quesada, let that stellar imagination run wild!!), when Spidey is about to kill Kraven, the new Madame Web shows Spidey what his future would be like. Which includes a view of this costume:

Sure, Peter becoming a death-dealing vigilante isn't great, but I have to say--I dig that costume. Very pulp, very Dominic Fortune meets Spider-Man.

And since Steve Wacker dropped the bomb that there is a new Spider-Man coming...could this be a preview?? Stay tuned, campers....

  1. That outfit comes from ASM #500, where Spidey sees a possible future version of himself in that outfit, fighting off cops at the graveyard of Aunt May. It's pretty cool stuff, with lovely JRJR artwork. I do really like that outfit ^_^

  2. Thanks for the tip, Jeremy...I wasn't reading Spidey at that point in time, so I missed it...

  3. Right, just like boys have action figures not DOLLS, new costumes are just dress up. Everyone wants their chance to show their taste(?) That being said, I like this one. I've always liked the "classic" look of a more uniform style. This doesn't mean I hate spidey classic, its so iconic it hurts!
