Beyond is the Spider-man storyline published by Marvel in 2022. In this storyline, Ben Reilly is back for the first time in the main Spider-man ongoing series after Clone Saga (Clone Saga referring to the original Clone Saga i.e. 1990). This time a big corporation named Beyond Corporation has its back on Ben Reilly.
Before all this, the original Spider-man was going through hell because of the Sinister War and he is too weak. He allowed Ben to become Spiderman and replace him in New York City. But things are not that simple due to the involvement of Beyond corporation.
The Beyond Corporation bought the trademarked Spider-Man identity from defunct Parker Industries patents and established Ben as a true superhero. These events have more impacts on Peter Parker’s life than he was expected. Even Miles Morales also become the target of Beyond corporation. No more spoilers for the story now.

What to read before the Beyond storyline?
The amazing part of this series is that you don’t need to read anything beforehand to understand the story. The storyline starts with Amazing Spider-Man #75 and ends in Amazing Spider-Man #93. However, if you are not familiar with Ben Reilly, you need to read the Clone Saga.
However, if you want to understand the current condition of Peter Parker and his previous brutal fights, then you need to read The Sinister War storyline. It was the main storyline just before Beyond in Amazing Spider-Man. (Amazing Spider-Man #70 to Amazing Spider-Man #73 with core issues of Sinister War).
