Peter Parker is about to have a comeback…from the dead!
13 months ago Marvel Comics celebrated the 700th issue of Amazing Spider-Man but killing off Peter Parker and replacing him with Otto Octavius as a Superior Spider-Man. Doc Ock switches bodies with Parker.
In an exclusive The New York Daily News revealed Parker is returning from the dead in a brand new Amazing Spider-Man #1 this April – just one month before The Amazing Spider-Man 2 movie.
This is all part of writer Dan Slott’s master plan but as Slott says it was to deal with everything from death threats, harsh online criticism to tears from little Spidey fans.
“To do that for a solid year of my life, that’s the hardest thing I’ve had to do — to look small children in the eye at a convention and lie to them,” says Slott. “One of them with an honest-to-God Little League uniform and a quivering lip. Inside, part of me was dying.”
