The Beyond era of Amazing Spider-Man comes to a close next year, as Marvel Comics teases a Spider-Man vs. Spider-Man throwdown. Ben Reilly has taken Peter Parker's place as the main Spider-Man in the Marvel Universe, teaming with the Beyond Corporation. Ben's adventures have made him cross paths with the Daughters of the Dragon (Misty Knight and Colleen Wing), Morbius, Doctor Octopus, Lizard, and Miles Morales, all while Peter recuperates from a hospital bed. It appears Peter will make a full recovery and look to reclaim the Spider-Man mantle in March in a set of stories from creators Zeb Wells, Patrick Gleason, Cody Ziglar, Kelly Thompson, Saladin Ahmed, Sara Pichelli, Luigi Zagaria, and Chris Allen.
The solicitations for March's Amazing Spider-Man and Miles Morales: Spider-Man issues tease new secrets behind the Beyond corporation, the addition of Queen Goblin to Spider-Man's rogues gallery, and that fight between Peter Parker and his clone Ben Reilly for the future of Spider-Man. The cover to Amazing Spider-Man #93 by artist Patrick Gleason features the unforgettable showdown Spidey fans will be talking about. Ben, in his new Beyond-furnished Spider-Man costume, is on top of Peter's body as they plummet to the ground. Ben also has his hands around Peter's throat, showing that he means business. What could cause such a rift between the Spider-Men remains to be seen, though it could have something to do with Ben being at fault for Peter almost dying in an attack from the U-Foes, resulting in Ben replacing Peter as Spider-Man.
Amazing Spider-Man #91 appears to tease a multiversal story focusing on a Door Z. Ben Reilly is in search of Miles Morales — who we find out is lost in the multiverse — and the person behind the mysterious Door Z could destroy the whole city; the follow-up in Amazing Spider-Man #92 will reveal what really happened to the Lizard; a special one-shot in Amazing Spider-Man #92.BEY will feature a crucial chapter in Monica Rambeau's story; Miles Morales: Spider-Man #36 finds Miles and his clone Shift lost in the multiverse thanks to the Infinity Stone-powered Assessor, with the issue's cover showing the Ultimate Universe, Marvel Zombies, and Ghost-Spider; and Amazing Spider-Man #93 closes out the web-slinger's Beyond era.
