8 Deaths of Spider-Man: Marvel Reveals New Look at Doctor Doom-Inspired Suit
Spider-Man is doomed in the new Amazing Spider-Man epic by Joe Kelly and Ed McGuinness.
"Whosoever touches touches this gem shall possess the power of the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak! Henceforth, you who read these words, shall become forevermore — a human juggernaut!" So reads the inscription on the Crimson Ruby, which transforms its bearer into the nigh-unstoppable Juggernaut, Exemplar of Cyttorak the Destroyer, ruler of the Crimson Cosmos. 25 years after the eight mystic principalities of the Octessence — Cyttorak, Balthakk, Farallah, Krakkan, Ikonn, Raggadorr, Watoomb, and Valtorr — turned eight mortals into their eight Exemplars (in the five-part "Eighth Day" storyline spanning issues of Iron Man, Thor, and Peter Parker: Spider-Man), Marvel Comics is revisiting the devastating god of destruction in 8 Deaths of Spider-Man.
Marvel has been teasing that Doctor Doom — the new Sorcerer Supreme — will grant Spider-Man eight extra lives in upcoming issues of Amazing Spider-Man, from the book's new creative team: writer Joe Kelly (Deadpool & Wolverine: WWIII) and artist Ed McGuinness (Hulk). Along with a new Doom-inspired Spider-Suit imbued with magic powers (and Jack Kirby-style Doom fists!), Spider-Man will have extra deaths to spend as he battles the deadly Scions of Cyttorak, including Cyrios, Callix and his Crimson Canines, and Cyra.
