So when I heard how Peter Parker was "dying", I thought it was an immediate cop-out, and I actually stayed away from those last issues of Amazing Spider-Man, as death by mind-swap didn't interest me much. I couldn't have been more wrong. Comics, as an industry, is often faced with the question of whether or not change[...]
