Amazing Fantasy 1000 confirms it's no accident that things always go wrong for Spider-Man, as the Web-Spinner is told, 'You put yourself in the center of the storm every day, Peter... So complaining about the wind won't do you any good.'
In Marvel Comics' new Amazing Fantasy #1000 celebrating Spider-Man's 60th anniversary, Peter Parker comes to understand why his life is so hard compared to other heroes . While the classic comics used to blame the "Ol' Parker Luck" for all of Peter's personal misfortunes the true reason goes much deeper, revealing itself to be an integral part of what makes any hero in the Spider-Verse a genuine Spider-Man.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Coming from a team of all-star writers and artists, Amazing Fantasy #1000 is an oversized anthology issue featuring multiple stories about Marvel's iconic Webslinger. Celebrating 60 years of Spider-Man, each adventure pays tribute to different aspects of the Wallcrawler and his legacy over the decades.
Spider-Man's struggles have never come from something Peter Parker did or a never-ending string of bad luck. It's always been because of his willingness to leap into the fray, keenly understanding his responsibility to act with the power he wields in the Marvel Universe . As such, the "spider-struggle" is a foundational element of what makes Peter Parker Spider-Man to begin with.
Being Spider-Man is all about having the power to do something and get involved combined with the power to get back up when things get really hard. While it might not have been the advice or guidance the main Spider-Man was expecting or wanting, it does seem as though it was an encouragement for the Webslinger all the same as he returned to his home universe. Amazing Fantasy #1000 is on sale now.
