#476: If J. Michael Straczynski and John Romita Jr. shocked you before... Well, this is the real deal! JMS speaks: "You may think you've seen the greatest confrontations in Peter Parker's life. You're wrong. Since his debut in Amazing Fantasy #15, nearly four decades ago, Peter Parker has been running from the one, singular confrontation that will change his life. The one he has feared, and dreaded, since he assumed the role of Spider-Man. He has now run out of room to run. This is a confrontation 40 years in the making. No hype. No bombast... But no clues. We can't even give you any names, because that would ruin the surprise. But starting with issue #35 (#476) and climaxing in issue #37 (#478) the biggest question asked by fans for decades will finally become a reality. This is the Big One. The one that will have you talking for the next year. Honest." The Buzz: "I can't say enough good things about this book. J. Michael Straczynski has come along and turned the Spider Saga on its ear. With John Romita Jr.'s pencils backing it up, this book is hot!
