But which Spider was responsible for this shocking change? Then, from the ashes of battle comes the first team-up between the Superior Spider-Man and the Black Cat. Felicia Hardy always cared for the Spider more than the man, but what happens when that man is Otto Octavius? And as an Osborn we haven’t seen in a while returns, Otto celebrates a milestone!

After tussling with Terrax, Otto is looking forward to the usual Spider-Man fare of street-level villains — so imagine his dismay when a major magical threat rears its ugly head and he’s forced to…ugh…ask for help!" - - (forthcoming, July 2019)
