The New York Post has the scoop that Spider-Man is “getting a hip new look… and a new man behind the mask, who’ll debut this summer at the end of “The Death of Spider-Man” storyline.”

I am going to assume that they are referring to Ultimate Spider-Man here.

“That’s not Peter Parker,” Marvel editor-in-chief Axel Alonso told The Post. “There’s going to be someone new wearing the costume.”

Marvel.com has more on the story:

Marvel has announced that after the shocking events of “Death of Spider-Man”, the sold out storyline currently running through ULTIMATE COMICS SPIDER-MAN and ULTIMATE COMICS AVENGERS VS. ULTIMATES, there will be a new Spider-Man and a new character under the mask. Something’s happened to Peter Parker and here comes an all-new Spider-Man…in an all-new costume!

“We called this story ‘Death of Spider-Man’ for a reason,” said Axel Alonso, Marvel Editor In Chief. “This is a huge story that’ll have fans around the world talking for a long time as we set the stage for the debut of our new Spider-Man.”

The Ultimate Universe is irrevocably changed with the conclusion to “Death of Spider-Man” in June’s polybagged ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #160.
