Amazing Spider-Man Free Comic Book Day Spoilers — Amazing Spider-Man #1

He was beaten to almost death by Norman Osborn, but he stopped himself short, and used his resources to treat this man's injuries. But in this weekend's Free Comic Book Day Spider-Man/Ultimate Universe giveaway, it seems that someone else has hired a better known Marvel assassin to kill the man who tried to kill Osborn, with Lord Deathstrike.

Lord Deathstrike was the brother of Lady Deathstrike. An assassin for hire, he worked for The Hand as an instructor at the Hellfire Academy and for Sabretooth before joining the Assassins Guild. Initially, Lord Deathstrike appeared to be mute, but it turned out he simply does not feel like talking to anyone other than his sister and those whom he deems worthy of his time.

So the challenge Spider-Man sets himself, and Lord Deathstrike, it seems, is a particularly tricky one… but hey, this is Spider-Man.

Eventually, something is going to work out for him, right? It has to… Spider-Man/Ultimate Universe FCBD 2025 will be available for free on Free Comic Book Day in all participating comic book stores. Saturday, the 3rd of May. You can catch up with all of Bleeding Cool's extensive Free Comic Book Day coverage this year, with announcements, giveaways, signings and spoilers with our handy FCBD tag. I guess there will be quite a lot over the next week.
