Description
The Amazing Spider-Man #698, published by Marvel Comics with a January 2013 cover date. Written by Dan Slott, this is the opening chapter of the landmark “Dying Wish” storyline and a significant modern Spider-Man key.
With Doctor Octopus dying, Peter Parker visits his old enemy only to discover the horrifying truth: Otto Octavius has successfully transferred his mind into Peter Parker’s body, while Peter’s consciousness is trapped inside Otto’s failing body. The shocking twist sets in motion the events leading directly into Superior Spider-Man.
Key Significance: First appearance of the Superior Spider-Man (Otto Octavius in Peter Parker’s body) and the issue in which the Peter Parker/Doctor Octopus body swap is revealed. It begins “Dying Wish,” the final storyline leading into Amazing Spider-Man #700 and the launch of Superior Spider-Man. The issue is specifically catalogued as the first appearance of Superior Spider-Man.
