September 8 s Amazing Spider-Man 73 dives back into long-dormant facets of Spider-Man mythos as well as his slovenly history with Norman Osborn/the Eco-friendly Spirit (which numerous fans have proactively attempted to forget), as well as lays bare the reality behind Kindred s identity (what, you assumed it was Harry Osborn?).
As writer Nick Spencer s run on Amazing Spider-Man barrels towards its conclusion, September 8 s Amazing Spider-Man 73 from Spencer and also artists Ze Carlos, Carlos Gomez, as well as Marcelo Ferreira more connections the saga unraveling in Peter Parker s life to some of the most questionable Spider-Man stories ever before, even as the current tale continues pressing up versus the commonly polarizing Spider-Man: Another Day.
Spoilers warnings on, as we unload the fact of Kindred s identity, as well as what it indicates for Peter Parker s life.
Spoilers ahead for Amazing Spider-Man 73.
Amazing Spider-Man 73 kicks off with Peter Parker reaching Kindred s mausoleum, where all the various other significant players in Kindred s plans have individually collected, including Mary Jane Watson, Mysterio, Norman Osborn, Carly Cooper, Harry Osborn, and also, separately, Kindred himself ... or instead.
Grabbing where the previous concern ended, Kindred uncovers before MJ, relatively exposing that she s in fact somehow a returned Gwen Stacy. At The Same Time, Carly Cooper and an evidently non-Kindred Harry Osborn discover one more Harry s desiccated corpse still on the slab in her morgue, which is in some way magically attached to the mausoleum (more on both these sets in a moment).
As well as finally, Norman Osborn is confronted by an AI program of Harry in a research laboratory apparently loaded with duplicates in numerous stages of development. Suitably, the AI describes that Kindred s whole system goes all the way back to the story that immediately preceded and also brought about the debatable 90s story Spider-Man: The Duplicate Saga.
In that tale, Spider-Man: Lifetheft, Peter Parker s long-dead parents return just to be exposed as a control by the Chameleon. The Harry Osborn AI discloses that Harry helped hatch the plan prior to his fatality, together with an identical system to retaliate on his papa. As well as it s the return of plot points now revealed as component of Harry s vengeance plot versus Norman that may make some viewers skin crawl - along with Peter s, MJ s, and also even Norman Osborn s.
The Harry AI discloses that the death of his actual body was real, and what s more, he never ever actually returned from the dead. Better still, the AI confesses that the occasions of the questionable, much-maligned tale Spider-Man: Wrongs Past are all a scam committed by the AI and Harry s still-living associates Mysterio and Mendel Stromm, properly ruin among the most resented Spider-Man tales of perpetuity.
In Sins Past, it s disclosed that Norman Osborn had an affair with the teen Gwen Stacy, which led to the birth of twin youngsters called Gabriel as well as Sarah that had been born in key prior to Norman killed Gwen Stacy. The twins, aged swiftly to their adult years thanks to Norman s DNA which was altered by the Green Spirit serum, took on the shared identification of the Grey Spirit, before being beat with their existence virtually entirely disregarded considering that.
The AI confesses that Norman Osborn, Mary Jane Watson, and others were fooled into thinking the affair took area by Mysterio as well as Stromm utilizing illusion, hypnotherapy, and false-memory syndromes - and that Sarah and also Gabriel were really among a series of clones designed to work as vessels, most likely for Harry s revenge versus Norman Osborn for marketing Harry s heart to Mephisto when he was an infant.
With that said, it s exposed that the Gwen under Kindred s mask is in fact Sarah, while the Harry that s been associating Carly Cooper is Kindred s various other secret identity, Gabriel. Though the full extent of what this all ways hasn t been fully explored, the problem s denouement, in which Medical Professional Strange and Mephisto proceed their ready the fate of Peter Parker s heart, seems to potentially indicate that Mephisto s adjustments of Peter s life go a lot deeper than Spider-Man: Another Day.
And also now, with Harry Osborn s true destiny revealed along with the secret identities of Kindred, and Mephisto s connections to the whole legend many thanks to his take care of Norman Osborn and also control of Peter as well as Mary Jane, Nick Spencer s Amazing Spider-Man run has almost negated a few of one of the most debatable aspects of Another Day, down to formally romantically rejoining Peter and MJ.
Yet what does it all indicate, and also exactly how does retconning Harry s rebirth as well as the occasions of Sins Past connection right into not simply the forthcoming retired life of Peter Parker as the primary Spider-Man in the Spider-Man Beyond age, however the upcoming Fatality of Doctor Strange limited series? It s looking a growing number of like all of it boils down to Mephisto, who could be the villain that unifies both the retired life of Peter Parker as well as the death of Stephen Strange.
These connections have been building for a long time, as well as even appear to be extending into the MCU, where the upcoming movie sequel Spider-Man: No chance House will apparently include elements of Another Day - meaning that followers may either be around to obtain some major resolution for some ideas that have actually haunted the Spider-Man mythos for years, or we will dive headlong back right into also more of one of the most questionable Spider-Man plotlines ever before.
In any case, Nick Spencer s part will certainly be wrapped up in September 22 s Amazing Spider-Man 74, with the succeeding Spider-Man Beyond period introducing in October 6 s Amazing Spider-Man 75.
