Spider-Man more than other comics has a history and reputation for making milestones count.
25th Anniversary: Peter Parker gets married to MJ.
30th Anniversary: Issue 365: Robotparents (which okay hasn't dated well but significant in its time).
40th Anniversary: 2002 was the year in which the first Spider-Man movie released.
50th Anniversary: Spider-Men first crossover between Peter and Miles Morales.
I am going to predict ASM #50 will remind readers of ASM #50 ( Original)!. It could involve Fisk, or it could be 'Spider-Man No More'. How? If Aunt May dies and Kindred turns out to be a Stacy ( especially George or Gwen). Maybe Pete takes a break for a couple of issues if that wiuld happen

It's fun to speculate on what could happen, but it's also important to remember that we shouldn't be disappointed if it goes differently. It's too easy to set up arbitrary expectations.
Assuming Nick Spencer is on the book for #50 (sales and reviews are good so there's no reason to figure otherwise) there are a lot of things he could do.
Maybe it'll be the conclusion to the Kindred mega-arc.
Maybe Kindred will be unmasked in #42 and defeated in #44, and the 50th issue will kick off a longer storyline involving Doctor Octopus.
Maybe Kindred will be defeated in #49, and #50 will be a double-sized standalone dealing with the aftermath and setting up a new status quo.
It could end up being something we don't see coming at all, and whatever that is could end up being really good.
Sincerely,
Thomas Mets

Spider-Zero comes to the 616 and gets to do something cool with Peter
