Marvel Axes Friendly Neighborhood and Sensational Spider-Man
But Amazing becomes AMAZING!
According to our friends at Publisher's Weekly, this November Marvel is cancelling Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and Sensational Spider-Man. They're replacing both titles with... Amazing Spider-Man.
Yep, Amazing will be coming out three times a month. This one-ups the original Captain Marvel's twice-a-month release schedule, back in the 40s. But it does beg the question of whether Marvel will follow Mad Magazine's lead back in the 1960s by publishing three annuals each year.
An announcement will be made at next month's San Diego Comic-Con as to how they're going to juggle the talent workload.
One wonders why Marvel doesn't just bite the bullet and make Amazing Spider-Man a weekly.
