Celebrate Spidey's 50th Anniversary by ending The Amazing Spider-Man at issue 700
Spidey has had his ups and downs in both comics and other media. He's had good and bad games, good and bad movies and of course, good and bad Comics*cough* One More Day*cough*. Despite a new good Spidey movie replacing Spidey 3 and of course ScrewAttack's Amazing DEATHBATTLE of Spider-Man and Batman Marvel has decided to end The Amazing Spider-Man at issue 700 in December.
This being a huge kick to the nuts to not just Spidey fans, but also to the character since this is Spidey's 50th Anniversary. Marvel has announced if Spidey is going to be Rebooted into Marvel Now!, but the 700th Issue will have 5 variant covers, four of which will have 104 Pages.
The Final variant Covers will be
- The Wraparound Cover
- The Oliver Coipel Cover
- The ....Joe Quesada Cover...(DAMN YOU QUESADA FOR ONE MORE DAY!!!!!!)
- And a 50th Anniversary variant...(how subtle)
What are your thoughts on Marvel possibly ending Spider-Man without being rebooted into Marvel Now!?

It made it to 700 issues? Good gosh....I knew there were many....but 700? I have trouble wrapping my head around that number....still, great job on getting to that number!

Uhm, yeah, it's not a reboot. Marvel Now! is just a re-start for the numbering system and possible re-title of it's main series. To be exact, it's similar to New 52, they keep the story that's been going so far, just refferencing it here and there, but use a new simple story arc to attract new people to the comic before bringing back old plot points. This has happened before, people, in 1998 to be exact and it was just a time skip. Don't worry, this relaunch wont affect the Spidey we all know and love.

If Sam Raimi's 2002 Spider-Man is still fresh in your memory, there's a good chance the new reboot might feel boringly familiar.Despite its faults - the standard-issue storyline, the 138-minute running time, a thankless role for Irrfan Khan, and the gratuitous 3D - this reboot of the Spider-Man saga rests almost entirely on the romance between its leads. Indeed, Garfield and Stone alone make this movie worth your time.

All good things must come to an end. And the longer you milk the cash cow, the more likely the product will become dry. Spiderman will always be cool in my opinion, but it's time for him to close curtain. And what better way to end Spidey's adventures than with the bang of his 700th comic on his 50th birthday. Spiderman, we love you.

Agree with solud snake

I agree. Mostly a copy and paste of Spider-Man 1.

So I guess that Spidey is never going to beat the Devil and undo the deal? EVIL WINS! ...........yaaaay..........

700 issues and 50 years, with countless generations moved in some way by the actions of our friendly neighborhood webslinger. If they want to end this series, let it end. It has served a great deal of time. However, even if Marvel ends Spiderman, we all know Spidey will never truly die, what with the amazing tales we will no doubt retell to future generations in the years to come.
