<blockquote> Black is back in style! The first three Spider-Man: Back in Black titles have all sold out at Diamond including Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #17, Sensational Spider-Man #35, and Spider-Man Family #1. And due to the pandemonium over these issues, Marvel is going back to press with all-new covers by Young Gun: Reloaded artist Clayton Crain and fan-favorites Adi Granov and Leonard Kirk.

Clayton Crain’s cover to Sensational Spider-Man #35 Second Printing is an homage of the classic Amazing Spider-Man #87 cover while Adi Granov’s Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #17 Second Printing cover is a homage of the powerful interior page from Amazing Spider-Man #50. Plus, Leonard Kirk’s brand-new Spider-Man Family #1 Second Printing cover features Spidey in his Black Costume, a Steve Ditko-era Spider-Man and Spider-Man J!

Phillip Hayes of PaperbackReader.com’s review of Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #17 said, “The Back in Black hype is well worth it… The development of Spider-Man continues to be a must read unpredictable tale.”

Civil War’s conclusion has left Spider-Man in a dark place, paving the way for Spider-Man to go “Back in Black” and don his old black costume in its wake. Find out what everyone is buzzing about as Spider-Man is Back in Black!

Is Spider-Man family in continuity, or is it just reprints and out of continuity stories?

A good bulk of it is reprints but there are a couple 8 to 12 page new stories which is in continuity..

[Sean McKeever]

The two new stories in that issue are set in past continuity.

[The Guvnor]

This is great news to everyone involved. Sensational has been brilliant and nice to see it do very well. I guess this is the sales boost Marvel were expecting whenever "The Unmasking" came around. Better late than never I guess...

Pity Crain's cover isn't shown, but that one from Granov is superb.

[Kolimar]

Good news. Cool covers.

[GerbilFetus]

i have never felt the need to buy an alternate cover, but that adi granov spiderman? definantly a must have for me.
also a poster of it would be cool too, no?

[vbartilucci]

My favorite part of this whole thing - three or four issues of the black costume, and we're STILL not 100% sure WHY he's wearing it.

Other than to push the movie, obviously.
