The Amazing Spider-Man #601
In "Red-Headed Stranger [Part 1]: No Place Like Home," Peter Parker wakes up after Aunt May’s wedding to find himself tangled with his roommate Michele—only to realize he can’t remember a thing. As he scrambles to make sense of the morning, Michele’s anger sends him out into the city, where he’s pulled into a fire at the Empire State Building sparked by a strange electrical surge. Meanwhile, a missed date with Mary Jane adds to the chaos, leaving Peter searching for answers—and a place to stay—until Michele’s unexpected gesture of cookies offers a quiet moment of connection. Written by Mark Waid and illustrated by Mario Alberti, with colors by Andres Mossa and letters by VC's Joe Caramagna, this issue’s cover by J. Scott Campbell captures the tension and heart of a Spider-Man story where home isn’t just a place, but a feeling.
In "Red-Headed Stranger [Part 1]: No Place Like Home," Peter Parker wakes up after Aunt May’s wedding to find himself tangled in a complicated morning with his roommate Michele—only to realize he can’t remember a thing. After she kicks him out, he’s left scrambling to find a new place to stay, dodging both emotional fallout and a sudden fire at the Empire State Building sparked by a strange electrical surge. When Mary Jane oversleeps and stands him up, Peter’s day spirals further—until Michele’s unexpected gesture of cookies offers a quiet, bittersweet moment of connection.
In "The Best Version of Myself," Jessica reflects on how Spider-Man has shaped her journey, sharing the impact he’s had on her life. Peter, moved by her words, gently suggests she consider returning to her own heroic path.
