	Description:		Joe Kelly and I unpack a lot in this one on one at Terrificon Part 1: Back to Spider-Man—"Amazing Spider-Man" Relaunch & Multidimensional Stakes Kelly explains why relaunching Amazing Spider‑Man with a fresh #1 isn’t a reset—it’s the next natural chapter in Peter’s journey He teases bold new arcs that pull from Peter’s adolescence—pre‑high school—to recalibrate how we see him, emotionally and psychologically Kelly gets real about the dual storyline hitting in September 2025, where Spider‑Man splits across two frontiers: one grounded on Earth, the other traversing the cosmic reaches—frankly, “there are two Spider‑Men now,” he confirms Part 2: Animation Landmark—Man of Action & The Evolution of the Medium He reflects on the early days of Man of Action Studios and the wild success of Ben 10: co-creating universally beloved characters and building stories that bridge generations. Kelly doesn’t sugarcoat how different today’s landscape is—from the golden age of cable to today’s streaming-dominated, content-saturated ecosystem.
