It almost felt that, given the plotlines in Spider-Boy and Superior Spider-Man, that Amazing Spider-Man was doing its best to not acknowledge the character. Well, that seems to have changed overnight. As Amazing Spider-Man also continues the more prominent storyline of Doctor Doom being Sorceror Supreme after the events of Blood Hunt.

And delegating the responsibility of one annual comic battle to the Amazing Spider-Man, giving him eight chances…

And he's not the only one being acknowledged.

Phil Coulson gained the Death Stone in this year's Infinity Watch crossover annuals and seemed to have become the living embodiment of Death, but only in those Annual backup strips.

But now Amazing Spider-Man is noticing as well…

As even this version of Death reverts to fanboy type.

Though he's not alone in that…

Is that the first Scott Pilgrim mention in a Marvel comic book?
