While the current “Spider-Man” run reveals the truth behind Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson’s break-up with the mystic Benjamin Rabin, Marvel is teasing a more familiar foe for the webhead in future issues of the hero’s comic. CBR.com shared a look at Amazing Spider-Man #27 and #28 by Zeb Wells and Ed McGuinness, where Doctor Octopus will come back to make Spider-Man’s life a living hell. Issue #27 hints at Peter trying to recover from a shocking death (strongly hinting at Mary Jane Watson) in his world, as Spider-Man’s villains will serve as a distraction for the hero. Enter Doctor Octopus.
“Amazing Spider-Man” #28 showcases the deadliest Doc Ock ever, as the villain has upgraded his technology and tentacles to add suckers on his arms, much like an actual octopus. In cover art from McGuniness, Doc Ock looks happy to be reacquainted with Spider-Man as he holds both him and the Gold Goblin in his tentacles with a maniacal look on his face. However, with his new tech, Otto Octavius appears to be going for the killing blow to the web-slinger rival and his ally.
