Now that the Spider-Man #1000 cover kerfuffle seems to have been resolved*, we’re back to the normal every day routine of yet more variant covers for this landmark issue. This time, covers by Humberto Ramos, MR Garcin and Erik Larsen, and a photo cover from Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
The Beat (that me) especially likes the Erik Larsen cover but the Mr. garcin collage is also amazing and….heck all the covers are nice.
On sale September 16, the highly anticipated milestone issue, destined to take its place in comic book history, delivers both a major turning point for Joe Kelly’s run and an incredible lineup of anniversary stories celebrating Spider-Man’s legacy. The landmark issue will feature two main covers, one from each of the current run’s lead artists. Legendary artist John Romita Jr. joins acclaimed illustrator Paolo Rivera for a stunning painted cover, while modern superstar Pepe Larraz delivers a striking traditional piece. Both artists are also contributing variant covers for the issue.
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1000 will also feature a spectacular lineup of variant covers from some of the industry’s most celebrated artists. Revealed today are stunning pieces by Erik Larsen, MR Garcin and Julian Totino Tedesco, along with a Marvel Studios Variant Cover commemorating the release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, in theaters July 31.
One of the issue’s special anniversary stories comes from two renowned Amazing Spider-Man creators, writer J.M. DeMatteis and artist Humberto Ramos. Their story “Requiem of a Goblin” is spotlighted on Ramos’ newly revealed variant cover.
*There are still some discrepancies and mysteries surrounding this cover kerfuffle that I remain highly curious about but I shall leave these for another day.

MR Garcin’s cover is fantastic. A wonderful cross-section of creators. Great to see Tom Lyle in there for Scarlet Spider. Ditko is hilarious, but I don’t know where that Stan comes from.
I think I still prefer the cover he did for issue 700, but only by a whisker. It would be nice to get posters for both (comic shop promotional poster aside).
I’m pretty sure he slipped a Silver Age Bruce Wayne into the Amazing Spider-Man 700 collage, as well.
PS: examining the cover more closely, is that Superman winking at us from out of Peter’s bottom lip? Surely not.
