Nick Spencer's Amazing Spider-Man run wraps up with next Wednesday's issue #875, and the writer clearly has big plans for Peter Parker before he bids the wall-crawler adieu. In this first look at the issue, we pick up with Harry Osborn moments after he died in that ambulance in the pages of Spectacular Spider-Man #200.
The former Green Goblin finds himself in Hell and face-to-face with Mephisto (who is quick to remind him of the many sins he hasn't earned forgiveness for). While it was Norman who sold his son's soul to the devil, it's clear there's a bigger plan at play here, and it seems the Marvel Universe's devil has spent a long time plotting to get his hands on Peter Parker's pure soul.
Spencer has a lot to address in this issue, though, including those big "One More Day" teases he's been dropping, the true identity of Kindred, and what the deal is with that other Harry Osborn.
"It’s all lead to this... 'Hunted,' 'Sins Rising,' 'Last Remains,' 'King’s Ransom,' 'Chameleon Conspiracy,' 'Sinister War' ...and so much more all led to this climax and conclusion to Nick Spencer’s landmark run on the best comic book in the world," reads the solicitation text. "What will happen with Peter and MJ, Mysterio, J. Jonah Jameson, Norman Osborn, Aunt May and Kindred?!"
By the time all is said and done, something tells us Peter and Mary Jane Watson will be married again. However, with Ben Reilly about to take over as Spider-Man, it's hard to say what the plan for the original wall-crawler is and what the ramifications of his deal with the devil will actually be.
Hopefully, this conclusion doesn't disappoint and you can see more preview pages at CBR.
