‘Amazing Spider-Man’ #1 Brings Artist Simone DeMeo Back To Marvel
by Tony Thornley
A new volume of Amazing Spider-Man debuts in April. As always, the new volume is a big deal, and that brings with it new variant covers.
Created by Joe Kelly, Pepe Larraz and John Romita Jr., the new volume will see Peter dealing with his usual chaos. This time though, there’s a sinister power all behinds it.
With this debut, Marvel was excited to announce that comics superstar Simone DeMeo returns to the publisher with a variant cover, nearly five years after his last Marvel work on Champions and Immortal Hulk. Even better this cover is just the beginning of his return to Marvel, as he’s working behind the scenes on a massive Marvel series that’s yet to be announced.
“This is my first Amazing Spider-Man cover!” Di Meo shared. “That’s already a great honor, but to be able to do it for a new launch by three legendary creators who I’m also a big fan of is even better! I’m sure that Joe, Pepe and John will do an incredible job on the series. I’ve been following all their work for many years, and they know how to weave the right webs — I can’t wait to read it!”
On his future at Marvel, Di Meo also said “I’m really excited to be back working at Marvel. Being able to work with some of the most iconic characters in the world fills me with pride and emotion! The project we are building together is truly a dream. It will be a little longer before I’m able to talk about it, but it is something that I hope the fans will appreciate. The team and I are doing our best to create something unique. It is a new artistic challenge for me, but I love to challenge myself!”
Check out DeMeo’s cover, as well as other variants from Lee Bermejo, Ryan Stegman, and a special flashback variant from Gil Kane. Watch for them all in April when Amazing Spider-Man makes its debut!
