DARK REIGN TIE-IN! The lead-up to Amazing Spider-Man #600 begins here! Spider-Man editor Stephen Wacker here with a quick message. Look, this solicit is being written before you dear readers even know how CHARACTER ASSASSINATION ends and the major changes that spill out of it, so I can't tell ya much, but believe me, if you haven't been keeping up with Spidey...it's time. Following immediately on the heels of '24/7', Spider-Man's world has become more messed-up and stressful than ever and the fact that his biggest enemy, is in charge of the world…and the Avengers…is only the icing on a really dangerous cake. Now faced with hard choices about family and friendship, Spider-Man knows exactly what he has to do to save the world…it's time to take down Norman Osborn.
