Zeb Wells and John Romita Jr relaunched Amazing Spider-Man from Marvel Comics over two years ago, after both spending a number of years working on the character (though John a little more than Zeb). With guest artists such as Ed McGuinness, Romita drew the lion's share of the run. It hasn't been without controversy, it kicked off with Spider-Man hated for some unknown crime, with Peter Parker and Mary Jane split, and MJ living with Paul – and suddenly having kids. The series brought back former Zeb Wells bad guys, a Dark Web, killed off Ms Marvel, saw MJ get powers of her own as a Gang War kicked off, and now has Peter Parker fighting himself, courtesy of the returning Green Goblin, Norman Osborn. But now it looks as if their run is coming to an end. And it involves Tombstone who swore that he would kill Spider-Man to help ensure his dominance of the organised crime market in New York… and the finale will begin with Amazing Spider-Man #58 out on the 11th of September.
