It's time to say goodbye to Spider-Man -- at least, for now. Consider this your obligatory spoiler alert.

Comic book fans likely didn't see Peter Parker's [rip] coming at the end of "The Amazing Spider-Man #700," but considering the fact the issue marks the end of the long-running comics series, it shouldn't have come as that much of a shock. Peter loses in a battle with his longtime enemy, Doctor Octopus, but that surprisingly isn't the biggest twist in the issue.

In the finale of the final "Amazing Spider-Man" issue, Doc Ock swaps minds with Peter, meaning that Peter is trapped in the old, withered body of his archenemy while the good Doctor has been reborn as the new Spider-Man. With "Superior Spider-Man #1" due out Jan. 9, 2013, expect his Spider-Man story to continue there.

"This is Moriarty in the head of Sherlock. This is Prince John inside of Robin Hood. This is the greatest villain inside the body of the greatest hero and trying to do good," Marvel writer Dan Slott explains to USA Today of the twist ending. "This is a guy who was a couple steps way from a bucket list, and now he's got a whole new lease on life. That's really going to change him."

"Superior" editor Stephen Wacker adds of the new series, "We want to do Spider-Man by way of Batman -- a little creepier and darker."

!! is stupid. Comic [rip]s are for quick sales bumps now, really have no meaning. Just be back alive by this time next year. Still coppin because Ive been collecting since i was my sons age...

[pic] Spidey my nigg, hate it had to be him

Where do you buy these from? lol i haven't seen a comic book shop in ages.

They're there. They're just in plazas you kinda over look because the stores don't make sense. I got one next to a nail salon, mattress factory and like a travel agent. Like wtf? Lucky there was a Wendy's next to it or else I would have never known.

wow, thats wild.

Depressing when Pete is in Heaven

I don't think he's in heaven. To be honest, I don't think he is even dead. I think Peter's conscience is still there and will take back his body step by step. My dude Peter just relaxing for a minute[pic]

Finally, the villain wins. [pic]

This is the type of stuff that Marvel does nowadays that just pisses me off.
