Dan Slott confirms RYV takes the place of ASM

[Kevinroc]

Dan Slott is being rather tight lipped on the Spider-Man Secret Wars project Renew Your Vows. But he did answer one question on twitter.

A question I CAN answer:

Yes. Through out Secret Wars
RENEW YOUR VOWS takes the place
of Amazing Spider-Man.

That's your 1 question.

A lot of series seem to either be getting replaced or seem on temporary hold whilst SW takes place. And it does seem like only a small handful of 616 characters will get focused on outside the Last Days books and the main series during the event.

[R.K.Z]

616 is kind of being treated like the Scrappy/Wesley.

Not that I'm complaining.

Age of Apocalypse style

That's not really a surprise considering it seems to be happening all across the board with titles.

I thought we already knew this. Way to waste thread space, Kevin!

There was some speculation that Amazing Spider-Man might have a monthly schedule and ship alongside RNY/ Secret Wars.

So does this confirm this is 616 Peter's story? or just an universe merging with him or something.

That has been unconfirmed.

But this pretty much means no one else is writing a Spider-Man story in SW.

[Phantom Roxas]

Spiral is still going to be published, so maybe we're supposed to see that as a primary Spider-Man story for Secret Wars?

Really? Huh. Hadn't heard that. I thought it was assumed that ASM and RYV were one and the same, though ASM was being 'cancelled' like other titles for the event.

I swear if the re-start with ASM Volume 4 I am going to scream...

I've often theorized one could always see the volume rebrandings as substitutes for different continuities in their headcanon (though I am mindful ASM had two go-arounds with V1 and Chapter One was blackballed from canon, but I ignore that for sake of sanity)

Vol. 1: Origin-Final Chapter (or beginning of Spider-Girl)
Vol. 2: Chapter One-To Have and To Hold
Vol. 3: OMD-Present
Vol. 4: Renew Your Vows-? (All New Marvel)

"Cancelled" in the sense that the book will go on break for the duration of Secret Wars, with the substitute still considered a part of the book that is supposedly on hiatus.

From what I can tell those point one issues are going to continue and tell a more traditional (presumably pre SW) story during the months, and Renew Your Vows by Slott, but there's also going to be Spider Verse which will have the various Spiders in the Arachnia domain, and there's also Spider Island to consider somewhere, though can could be involved there too. And alternate versions of Peter in Armour Wars, Civil War, AVX, Miles in Ultimate End... So plenty of Spidey stuff to enjoy during SW.
