I come from 100 pages ago. Is it really over? Is it really really over?

It has been for a while yes, everything posted in this thread as of late is a rerun.

Though out of curiosity, has anyone involved with this strip said anything about starting something new (be it about Spider-Man or otherwise)?

I got the impression that the Powers That Be wanted to get rid of NSM for a while but couldn't because Stan Lee liked it.

There was talk of another strip for a while that was just about the Marvel universe in general but so far nothing has happened.

I don't think any of that talk was actually from Marvel so I suspect nothing is coming, which is unfortunate. Even if they were to bring something back, it's highly unlikely it would be anything like what we all know and love.

King Features posted:

You'll be seeing some changes in your friendly neighborhood Amazing Spider-Man comic strip over the coming months. Starting on March 25, King Features and Marvel will be re-running some of Spider-Man's greatest hits. We'll be back soon with great new stories and art to explore even more corners of the Marvel Universe for you and your readers to enjoy. We'll be announcing more about these new adventures in the very near future, so keep your Spidey senses tuned in!

Roy Thomas posted:

I know nothing of any Spidey strip to come, only that the one Alex Saviuk and I (and until recently Larry Lieber) had been doing is kaput

Alex Saviuk posted:

Now that KFS has posted their statement, yes, the Spider-Man strip as we know it has come to an end. As much as Roy Thomas and I were hoping that the strip would go on to continue Stan Lee's legacy just as King Features did with The Phantom after Lee Falk died 20 years ago, that's not the case here. It's news to me that in the statement it mentioned a new strip starting up possibly months down the road after they reprint some classic Lee-Romita stories from 40 years age, or 30 years ago, whichever they choose. A strip further exploring the Marvel Universe as they say, which doesn't mean it would or wouldn't be Spider-Man, and if they were going to feature new creators or if they would call on Roy and me again to create stories in any universe they desire us to go.
All that was back in March of last year and, as far as I'm aware, nothing has been announced or confirmed since then.

My liege, the surface world has sent one of their merchant noblemen to negotiate! They say they will try to stop the scourge of plastic straws that poison and choke our wildlife! Our intelligence has gathered he represents a coffee operation ruled by a mermaid who is unknown to us. We are trying to determine her identity... perhaps she will be an ally to our cause!
