No, Spider-Man Does Not Appear In Amazing Spider-Man #68.Deaths

No, Spider-Man Does Not Appear In Amazing Spider-Man #68.Deaths. Just In Case You Thought He Might Do. (Spoilers)

Today sees the publication of Amazing Spider-Man #68.Deaths by Christos Gage and the Miracleman-less Mark Buckingham. And it is one of those comics where no one believes the solicitations, but the solicitations are rather accurate. It reads, "With Spider-Man now DEAD, it's up to the X-Men to win the day and save the universe. But why are they fighting EACH OTHER?!?!" And yes, Spider-Man died at the end of Amazing Spider-Man #68. And even though this is a comic that has seen Spider-Man, Kenny style, die at the end of each issue, he has been resurrected by the Reeds that are powering him through this mystical save-the-world scenario engineered by the Sorcerer Supreme-but-who-can't-be-bothered-as-he-has-another-event-to-mastermind-next-door Doctor Doom.

So yes, Spider-Man is dead. He only appears at the end in one panel, still dead. So, despite the covers, and the name of this comic, Spider-Man does not appear in the comic. Instead, it's an X-Men comic book, with Juggernaut fighting the mind-controlled main X-Men team.

Even as he does basically the opposite in today's X-Men #12 comic, which sells itself as an Alpha Flight comic but is mostly still an X-Men comic.

Just so you know what you are getting into…  it is very pretty. Amazing Spider-Man #68.Deaths by Christos Gage and Mark Buckingham.
