In The Mind of Spider-Plush

 Spider-Man. J. Michael Straczynski. John Romita Jr.  Believe it or not, issue 500 was NOT the end of the Spider-Man legend, there's still a bunch of loose ends to tie up and LOTS of stories to make, so here's The Amazing Spider-Man #501, which is pretty much a new beginning for our web-head, this was Brand New Day before Brand New Day. LAST TIME: Spidey celebrated his birthday by looking at his beginning and his demise happen at the same time in The drive to Issue 1000 started here... Wait, they were already planning issue 1000? This is the cover, by Tony Harris, whom you may remember because he drew the covers for issues 57 and 58 (498 and 499). It depicts Spider-Man swinging by, and a taxi driver watching... Yes, this is one of those boring covers, but do not fret, the end of the "Have Spider-Man do something cool" covers is near, only to come back for a little bit. The title of this one is "A Saturday In The Park With May", GEE, I WONDER WHAT THIS IS ABO...
