J. Michael Straczynski, one of the most impactful writers in Spider-Man history, returns to the webbed wonder this October in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: TORN, a five-issue limited series. Straczynski will be joined by acclaimed artist Pere Pérez (TVA, Venom War: Carnage).
The prolific writer is known for his influential work throughout the Marvel Universe including one of the most celebrated runs of Amazing Spider-Man! For years, fans have hoped for JMS to make his return to Spidey storytelling! Now, he’s back with an unforgettable Spider-Man saga that’s perfect for all fans, but this time, he’s digging into a very different part of Spidey history!

Swing back to Peter’s college days at Empire State University with Gwen, Harry, MJ and Flash! Spidey takes on classic villains but JMS and Pere introduce a terrifying new villain and side of the Marvel Universe that will reverberate into the present from the past!
“JMS wrote some of my favorite Amazing Spider-Man issues of all time, so when he said he was interested in coming back to Spidey, I had already jumped at the chance and landed bad and twisted my ankle but I’m okay now,” says Spider-Editor Nick Lowe. “Add Pere Pérez, one of the most inventive artists working in comics, Guru eFX on colors and stories of one of the best eras of Spidey’s history?!?!?! How lucky are we?!?!”
Tom Hardy says his Venom very nearly faced Spider-man on screen
I am beyond excited to be working on this book,” Pérez shared. “Being a long time Spidey and JMS fan, this gig is a dream come true. I expected to have fun drawing the Spider-Man action scenes, but Joe is writing such great dialogue scenes for Peter and the supporting cast that I’m enjoying those even more. To sum up, this book is fun, exciting, moving, and we even have a new villain!”

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
