REVENGE OF THE SPIDER-SLAYER-Part 3 (of 3):\'Self-Inflicted Wounds\'

\\n\\n

One of the most pivotal moments of the SPIDER-MAN \'BIG TIME\' era happens here. Other comics promise you their issues will \'Change Everything\' or that \'Nothing Will Ever Be The Same.\' No carnival barker-like pitch this time. Just the plain, simple truth: This issue of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN will have repercussions for Peter Parker and this title\'s cast for years and years to come. Guest-starring THE NEW AVENGERS.

\\n\\n

Also in this issue: We finally reveal what has become of the alien symbiote. And a dramatic change to Spider-Man\'s powers. Do NOT miss this issue!

I Kill Giants\\n
It\\u2019s a story about a girl who\\u2019s a bit of an outsider \\u2013 she\\u2019s smart-assed and funny, but totally in our geekland: she\\u2019s obsessed with Dungeons & Dragons, she doesn\\u2019t have a lot of friends, she\\u2019s a bit of a social misfit. She\\u2019s taken her fantasy life a little far, and really only talks about giants to people. She\\u2019s convinced that giants are real and giants are coming, and it\\u2019s her responsibility to stop them when they show up. This weird little fantasy life that she\\u2019s going has started seeping into her real life, and as we see things from her point of view, we see that she sees pixies and she sees signs in the clouds and other things that might be telling her that bad things might be coming.
