Peter Parker dies in this issue. Okay. Peter Parker sort of dies in this issue. Writer Dan Slott had mentioned awhile ago that something big was going to happen in this issue. Someone scanned part of this issue early and posted it on the internet and the spoilers were all over. I avoided them and was actually shocked by the last two pages. I figured Mary Jane would die or something lame. But no, they actually killed off Peter Parker. The premise has Dr. Octopus on his death bed at The Raft, a prison for super villains. Parker visits him and Doc Ock switches his mind with Parker somehow (it isn't revealed how). Dr. Octopus with Peter Parker's mind dies and Peter Parker, now controlled by Doc Ock, goes on living. That's it. Totally fucked up, right? Well...only if in thirty years Dr. Octopus is still Spider-Man, which I doubt will happen. This all leads into the big #700 issue and next year a new series,
Superior Spider-Man #1. Peter Parker is dead, which is a big deal. It'll be interesting to see how it all plays out and how they reverse it (I'm guessing time travel). So Parker is dead. Is he in hell? Quick. Get Jason Aaron on it;
Peter Parker in Hell #1. **1/2 (out of ****)
