Amazing Spider-Man Beyond Reading Order

More than a decade ago, when J.M. Straczynski stopped writing The Amazing Spider-Man (see JMS’ Spidey reading order), Marvel decided to launch “Spider-Man: Brand New Day”, a storyline written by multiple writers used to reshape the series—after that, Dan Slott became the main writer (see Slott’s Spidey reading order).

Nick Spencer took over after Dan Slott, but he made a deal with Substack and announced that he decided to leave Marvel altogether (see Spencer’s Spidey reading order). That’s when it was announced that, once again, not one team, but a whole group of artists—Kelly Thompson, Saladin Ahmed, Cody Ziglar, Patrick Gleason, and Zeb Wells—would take over to give us a huge storyline before a new solo writer can take over.

Titled “Amazing Spider-Man: Beyond,” the story brings Ben Reilly back! Here is the official synopsis: Ben Reilly has been through hell, but now with the support of a major corporation, Ben is thwipping once again and being the best Spider-Man he can be. And what does Peter think? Well, he’s just been through the Sinister War and he’s exhausted! But even if Peter is against Ben’s return to the limelight, does he have a choice? The webs that are about to be woven will take you to places you’ve never been … pit our spectacular heroes against classic villains reloaded, as well as brand-new foes … and make you rethink the whole concept of Spider-Man! But what will all this change and upheaval mean for Mary Jane, the Black Cat, Aunt May—and all of New York City?!

What to read before Amazing Spider-Man Beyond?

This is the first time Ben Reilly has been the official Spider-Man since the 1990s, with the Clone Saga event. If you are not familiar with Ben, Spider-Man’s Clone (or…is it??) you can take a look at our Ben Reilly Reading Order–and you can check out our Spider-Man Reading Order that covers the adventures of Spidey from the start to today.

Amazing Spider-Man: Beyond is being treated as a possible entry point for new readers. But if you want to know what came just before, you can take a look at our Nick Spencer’s Spider-Man reading order–and at the Sinister War reading order, the last event of that era.

      It’s Marvel so they put the sticker on the books for sale more than anything. There’s a connexion though, with the Beyond Corporation, but Miles’ story is not relevant to the AMS storyline.
      If you want to know where to read the issues:
      Amazing Spider-Man #80
      Miles Morales – Spider-Man #32
      Amazing Spider-Man #81
      Miles Morales – Spider-Man #33
      After that, Miles’ adventures went in another way

          The “.BEY” issues take place during the issues they are associated with. It’s probably better to read Miles Morales #32 after 80.BEY, but you can read it before if you want the stories are not connected at all.

          Can these miles morales issues (or the vol 7 collected edition) be read on their own without reading the rest of his run?

          2. New Spider

            Sorry, I meant to ask if you can read these Miles Morales issues (collected in vol 7) without reading the rest of the Miles Morales (issues 1-31)?

            1. Fabien

              Yes, of course. I would even say that you don’t even have to read them in the Beyond storyline. If I remember correctly, they are mostly comprehensible, but it’s mostly tangential. It’s Miles living his own adventures and Marvel connects them to the Beyond Corporation to justify to put the logo on the cover and encourage readers who are completists to read them. But they don’t add to the main plot.
