Exclusive Marvel Preview: Amazing Spider-Man #25

Marvel Comics has provided ComicBook.com with an exclusive preview of Amazing Spider-Man #25. Amazing Spider-Man #25 is a special oversized issue kicking off a new chapter in the life of Peter Parer, the amazing Spider-Man.

The main story of the 40-page issue welcomes aboard new series artist Stuart Immonen for the first chapter the new story arc, "The Osborn Identity." Written by Dan Slott, the new story arc sees Spider-Man hunting down his oldest foe, Norman Osborn. However, this is Norman Osborn totally free of the goblin serum that made him the insane villain called The Green Goblin.

"Stuart is fantastic at everything," Slott told ComicBook.com in an interview. There are moments where I wrote some scenes for certain characters that just had all this extra chemistry going on because of the magic Stuart was bringing to the mix-- and I went, "Oh, this is changing some of the story because I now care so much for this relationship right here. I want to see where it's going to go. Oh my god, look at these characters acting together."

"The thing that I think that he does incredibly well is the acting, the character acting, said editor Nick Lowe in an interview. "I love looking at his Tumblr and seeing the reference pictures that he puts up that he takes of himself with the different facial expressions and the acting that he gets out of his characters. They feel real and they feel like there's a life behind those eyes that he draws, and that's so cool to see. He draws a smile, like a sly smile, better than anyone else that I know. There's that spark in everyone and I really love that.

There are plenty more stories to enjoy in Amazing Spider-Man #25, including a story from Christos Gage featuring Clash, the Spider-Man villain turned ally turned villain again, and another that goes back to Peter Parker's earliest days as Spider-Man.

Amazing Spider-Man #25 goes on sale in comic book stores on March 15, 2017. Check out the preview pages and several variant covers included in the gallery below.
