 Marvel posted a sneak peek at the final pages of the first post- " One More Day " issue , Amazing Spider @-@ Man # 546 , and a two @-@ page spread penciled by John Romita , Jr. entitled " Spider @-@ Man : The New Status Quo ! " , which established the new continuity of Spider @-@ Man . The retcon brings back Harry Osborn from the dead ( in this new continuity , instead of having been dead he had been living in Europe for many years ) , and explains that although Spider @-@ Man unmasked himself during the events of the " Civil War " storyline , no one remembers who was behind the mask . Although Quesada would initially take the position that the changes to the timeline did not have to be explained since they were the result of magic , subsequent writers would , in short order , provide detailed , in @-@ continuity explanations for the changes .
