The new Amazing Spider-Man series sees Peter Parker returning to action after being sidelined during the Amazing Spider-Man Beyond era. Per Marvel’s synopsis for the new Amazing Spider-Man series, “Peter’s on the outs with the FF. He’s on the outs with the Avengers. He’s even on the outs with Aunt May! After a terrible and mysterious incident, no one wants to see Spider-Man – except for Doctor Octopus. Ock’s on Spider-Man’s tail and the Master Planner has something truly terrible planned for when he gets his tentacles on Spidey. All that, and Tombstone makes a move that will remind readers why he’s one of Spider-Man’s most terrifying villains….”
