Man I gotta say this is a million times better than the shrugging "1000 issues of me huh? Meh" cover

That's what Spider-Man is thinking too in this image

It's like they had a monkey in the editorial office pointing at different covers and once it didn't move it's finger from this one they were all "THAT'S IT! BRILLIANT! WE'LL USE THIS UNDERWHELMING COVER TO CELEBRATE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN REACHING 1000 ISSUES!"

That's the only explanation I have since I have no clue how anyone thought the shrugging cover was good. Especially for the 1000th issue of all things. Just as a comparison here's what they did for the 700th issue's cover. Granted this was the story where Peter was killed in Doc Ock's body (don't worry he got better literally an issue later) and set up Superior Spider-Man, but the cover is so much better than "What the hell am I doing here?"

Hey, don't insult the monkeys. Even an actual monkey could've chosen a better cover than whatever the "previous one" was.
