Article Summary

• Amazing Spider-Man #1000 preview sets up Peter Parker’s desperate rush to the hospital after Aunt May’s medical crisis.
• The issue hints Aunt May may not recognize Peter after her stroke, raising the emotional stakes for Spider-Man.
• Cormac Crane, Aunt May’s newly reunited biological son, reaches her bedside first and complicates Peter’s role.
• Amazing Spider-Man #1000 arrives September 30, with Joe Kelly and Pepe Larraz leading a major turning point.

It's two weeks late, but it's out at the end of the month, on the 30th of September – or the 26th for Local Comic Shop Day participating comic book stores. Amazing Spider-Man #1000. Last issue saw Peter Parker getting the call about his Aunt May, the kind of call he has long dreaded. And once did a deal with the Devil to reverse, sacrificing his marriage in the process…

And now it's a race to the hospital by way of web spinning…

As well as jumping over patients on stretches. Well, he does have the proportionate speed, strength and agility of a spider. I am sure I read that somewhere.

To find May's biological son, Cormac Crane, with whom she has just reunited, has beaten Peter to her bedside.

Cormac Crane's superpower is to be rich. It seems to work out. But as for May Parker? As seen in Amazing Fantasy #15 published fifty-nine years ago last June? Well, she may not be able to remember back that far…

Strokes can significantly affect the brain's ability to process and retain information, leading to cognitive impairments that impact daily life. One of these impairments is memory loss, which can present a challenging and often distressing issue for survivors and their families. She is, for now, unable to recognise Peter Parker, the boy she raised into a man. But what about her biological son, Cormac Crane, with whom she has just reunited? Amazing Spider-Man #1000 is coming…
