AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #64 Features Surprise Villain Return And Reveals SINISTER WAR Event This July

Today's issue of Amazing Spider-Man features a villain making their surprise return to the Marvel Universe as the stage is set for an event this summer that Marvel Comics has dubbed "Sinister War."

There's something big on the way in Nick Spencer's Amazing Spider-Man, and it all ties into Peter Parker's deal with Mephisto during "One More Day." Harry Osborn/Kindred is clearly up to something (likely because he was resurrected when Peter and MJ's marriage was wiped from history), which was teased during an epilogue in today's issue #64.

Back in 2019, Otto Octavius, a.k.a. the Superior Spider-Man, made a deal with Mephisto that saw him sent back to his old body. Doctor Octopus (who has gaps in his memory and no longer remembers Spidey's secret identity) finally returned today, tearing a grave apart to find an empty, unidentified coffin. 

Kindred then used one of his centipedes to taunt Otto, and the issue ended with him collapsing to the ground and Marvel Comics announcing that this July will see the release of "Sinister War."

This appears to be a new take on the Sinister Six, likely led by Kindred. What he wants with Doc Ock remains to be seen, but this missing body could have something to do with what Carlie Cooper discovered a few issues ago (that there were one too many bodies at the villain's twisted dinner party).

We're still left with more questions than answers, but this is an undeniably intriguing development...

"Back in 2019, Otto Octavius, a.k.a. the Superior Spider-Man, made a deal with Mephisto that saw him sent back to his old body."

I don't remember this happening at all. Last I remember he was still in the new body. Where/when did this happen?

@redhood71 - I think it was in his solo book. After SpiderVerse 2 he had some beef with an alternate universe Norman Osborne and went to crazy lengths to defeat him including working with Mephisto.

Might be good,I wish Zdarsky was writing Spider-Man.

Spider-Man:Spider's Shadow #1 is one of the best comics of the year.

@marvel72 - Zdarsky wrote a good 616 Spider-Man in the beginning of his Daredevil run. Hopefully he gets a shot at Amazing someday, but I'm 100% hoping Donny Cates is the next writer for Amazing.

marvel72 - 4/21/2021, 7:52 AM
@Makiveli21 - Don't know if cates is done with Marvel.

Venom ends issue 35/200,He might stay writing Thor,I know he will be writing something for the Spawn Universe.

I hope he sticks around,he should write Amazing Spider-Man, Moon Knight or a brand new Silver Surfer series.

@marvel72 - He's definitely not done with Marvel

@Makiveli21 - I hope not,I do think he ruined Dylan Brock and Knull at the end of King In Black.

He took away Dylan's powers, so he is pretty much done and dusted.

The way he killed off Knull,I understand you have to defeat Knull but the way it was done,it looks like he is done for good.

@marvel72 - It’s comics, literally nobody has to be done for good except maybe Uncle Ben.

@marvel72 -

I gotta be honest, ever since OMD story arc, I stopped reading/buying spiderman books, but this new "sinister war" story line picked my interest,
let's say;
if I want to start reading this new arc, what book should I start buying/reading before "Sinister War" begins ?

Why does Harry/Kindred hate Peter now? I gave up reading when they gave Spider-Man that ugly new suit years back.
Makiveli21
Makiveli21 - 4/21/2021, 7:54 AM
@TheWarThor - because he made a deal with the devil while Harry was in hell for Aunt May's soul. Harry thinks Peter causes those around him to suffer and die like Gwen, Ben, Harry, May, Captain Stacy, Flash, and eventually probably MJ. So he got outta hell and went to torment/torture Peter and killed him and resurrected him like 50 times. It was crazy.

@oldnoname - if it addresses OMD then it will definitely be it. Just gotta be patient with Spencer. Remember people hated Secret Empire when Cap was revealed as a Nazi, but it actually wrapped up nicely and was a cool event.

@Makiveli21 - omd- the Quesada Gauntlet snap. I'm still not over it.

@Makiveli21 - I'm hoping for the OMD reversal but this in between part just isn't interesting.

It’s heartbreaking that I haven’t cared about Spider-Man (most of Marvel tbh) comics in a long time.
Makiveli21
Makiveli21 - 4/21/2021, 7:59 AM
@OldMan - yeah it is. Have you read Silver Surfer Black by Donny Cates? Or his Thanos book that introduces Cosmic Ghost Rider? Those Cosmic events plant the seeds of Knull for other event books like Absolute Carnage and King in Black and the Thanos stuff might have been teased in a vision in Thor (which is better than ever!) Thor gets the power cosmic and kills Galactus its absolutely insane. Also maybe check out Immortal Hulk by Al Ewing- again this character has never been better- the whole Green Door and One Below All stuff is super creepy.

marvel72 - 4/21/2021, 8:44 AM
@OldMan - There is some good titles if you look for them.

Daredevil
Thor
Venom (but this ending soon)
Immortal Hulk (so is this)
Spider-Man Spiders shadow
House Of X/Powers Of X

They do need more books though that are great reads.

@marvel72 - I know there are. That’s why I said most and not all. It’s absolutely bonkers how when Marvel is hot DC isn’t and when DC is hot Marvel isn’t. I wish these companies could just knock it out of the park at the same time. Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise for my wallet. Damn DC has been on fire lately though. Nightwing and Flash have been awesome. I’m actually extremely optimistic with the Superman titles and I think we might be in the midst of a legendary Batman run right now.

marvel72 - 4/21/2021, 11:55 AM
@OldMan - Batman is great,I have read a few future state Wonder Woman,House Of El and my personal favourite Swamp Thing.

Catwoman has been good as well.

I quit caring about Spider-Man comics when Dan Sloth decided to write about Peter learning what it’s like to have sex with Aunt May. 🤷‍♂️🤢🤮👎

@marvel72 - when Peter was stuck in Doc Ocks dying body he started to relive Docs life through his memories and one of them was Doc hooking up with Aunt May before their wedding.

I guess this confirms that No Way Home will indeed have the Sinister Six.

This bullcrap right here is why no one gives a crap about Western comics.

Dan Slott rewrote Doc Ock's character to be a genocidal maniac on life support, then he had the fool switch brains with Spider-man only for Peter to rewrite Ock's origin story to replace his abusive father with Uncle Ben. This, somehow, makes the Superior Spider-man, a more heroic version of Ock in Peter's body.

We then decide to have an uncomfortable dynamic between Peter and Ock where he ogles MJ's body and then wipes Peter from his mind.

Then, Peter winds up coming back only for Ock to somehow keep a Superior Spider-man persona (alternate universe, clone, I don't really care). He then proceeds to join hundreds of other Spider-men in a crossover event to defend the multi-verse.

A bunch of nonsense later, he just makes a deal with Mephisto and now he's back to square one in his original body, pre-Dan Slott era, undoing over a decade of comic writing.

Miss me with that garbage. I haven't gotten into a Marvel/DC book in over a decade and I don't regret it remotely.
