The Amazing Spider-Man #1003 is an upcoming milestone comic book issue published by Marvel Comics. Slated for release on November 11, 2026, the issue serves as a critical chapter in the ongoing volume 7 era written by fan-favorite scribe Joe Kelly. The book features interior line art by Pat Gleason and a main standard cover illustrated by the iconic John Romita Jr..
Plot & Setting
The storyline—titled "Armageddon's Backlash"—deals with the chaotic immediate fallout of a massive city-wide crisis.
- The Race Against Time: Peter Parker is pushed to his absolute physical limits as he races through Manhattan to intercept and stop a ruthless, deadly assassin.
- A Shift in Allegiances: Complicating Spidey's mission, a classic, staunch enemy who had previously turned into an ally abruptly defaults back to their old villainous tricks.
- A City on the Edge: In the wake of the "Armageddon" event, New York City is a volatile powder keg ready to boil over. The narrative heavily involves Mayor Luke Cage's administration alongside Damage Control (acting as Spider-Man's temporary, uneasy allies) as they struggle to maintain civil order and keep a lid on the escalating street-level tensions.
