Amazing Romita Jr.
Currently, Amazing Spider-Man is in its “Beyond” phase, a storyline that follows Ben Reilly as the Amazing Spider-Man as he fills in for a horribly injured Peter Parker. This storyline has featured a rotating roster of talented creators, each of which have been focusing on a different perspective on the story, which sees the one-time Scarlet Spider joining forces with the probably-evil Beyond Corporation.
