Spider-Man: Matters of Life and Death #[nn]
In "Revenge of the Spider-Slayer Part One: Army of Insects," Spider-Man is thrust into a shocking new role when the Fantastic Four break the news of the Human Torch’s apparent death—only for the Torch’s will to name Spider-Man as his successor. Written by Dan Slott and brought to life by Marcos Martín, Ty Templeton, Nuno Plati, and Stefano Caselli, with dynamic inks and vibrant colors by the full team, this pivotal issue sets a new course for the web-slinger in the Marvel Universe. The cover, by Marcos Martín, captures the moment with intensity and gravitas.
