“8 Deaths of Spider-Man” concludes this March!

Brought to you by writers Joe Kelly and Justina Ireland, artists Ed McGuinness, Gleb Melnikov, CAFU, and Andrea Broccardo, this one-of-a-kind Amazing Spider-Man epic saw new Sorcerer Supreme Doctor Doom entrust Spidey with protecting the world from the evil god Cyttorak—a daunting mystical undertaking that required a new magic-powered suit and eight extra lives! But Cyttorak’s scions still proved to be too much for the wall-crawler, and on the covers for the saga’ final chapters, Amazing Spider-Man #69 and #70, Joe Kelly and Ed McGuinness reveal a shocking development… Did Spider-Man fight his way through Cyttorak’s champions just to become one himself!?

Spider-Man used the last of the extra lives and is done. True death. In Amazing Spider-Man #69, things have never looked more bleak as the X-Men fight among themselves, and Doctors Doom and Strange reunite—only to find the situation unwinnable. In Amazing Spider-Man #70, ENTER THE SPIDER-NAUT! But who is this unstoppable webbed-wonder?! And does he represent the world’s last hope or Cyttorak’s ultimate victory?

Check out the covers by Ed McGuinness along with a stunning variant cover for Amazing Spider-Man #70 by Björn Barends and preorder Amazing Spider-Man #69 and #70 at your local comic shop today!
