Marvel Announces SPIDER-ISLAND
Major New Storyline Begins in Amazing Spider-Man #667
New York, NY - March 23, 2011-Marvel is proud to announce Spider-Island,
the comic book event of the summer from the best-selling creative team
of Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos. Kicking off this August in Amazing
Spider-Man #667 (with a special prelude in #666) the citizens of
Manhattan-including some of Spidey's closest allies and deadliest
foes-begin exhibiting the web-slinger's very own powers! But as
Spider-Man must stop a seemingly insurmountable super powered crime
wave, he must also find out just who's responsible for mutating
Manhattan...and the truth will irrevocably alter his world. Fans will
get their first full-length lead in to Spider-Island in Marvel's special
issue of Amazing Spider-Man, available for free at all participating
comic shops on May 7th, Free Comic Book Day.
"Back when Slott launched Spider-Man into the 'Big Time' last year, he
started laying the groundwork for possibly the biggest Spider-Man story
you've ever seen," said Stephen Wacker, Marvel Senior Editor. "The price
of power is high for heroes and villains. The Avengers, the FF, Venom,
Spider-Girl, Spider-Woman, the Sinister Six and even YOU are connected
to ol' Web-Head in new ways. By the end of this story, we're going to
see what Spider-Man means to Marvel Universe and just how far he'll go
to keep it safe...including some life-changing choices that have major
consequences."
This summer, Spider-Island brings great power to nearly everyone in New
York City...and it's Spidey's great responsibility to keep this chaos
from spreading even further! But just what will Spider-Man have to
sacrifice in the process?
Plus, don't miss "Infested", beginning in the pages of April's Amazing
Spider-Man #659 and setting the stage for the next big chapter in
Spider-Man history!
