Spider-Man: Infested & Spider-Island Events

[Skyknight]

This year's summer event for Spidey is called "Spider-Island", and to lead into Issue 666, Marvel are launching a series of short stories in ASM under the title of "Infested"

Marvel is pleased to announce Infested, an all new series of short stories beginning in Amazing Spider-Man #659, leading into the biggest Spider-Man event of the year – Spider Island! And to set the stage, a whole cavalcade of superstar artists like Barry Kitson, Lee Garbett and Emma Rios join the red-hot Dan Slott for a Spidey spectacular that’ll have fans talking for years to come!

“Infested is giving readers the first adumbrations of a threat that’s been slowly creeping toward Spidey’s life for decades,†said Marvel Senior Editor, Stephen Wacker. “Dan along with some guest artists set the readers on a dangerous course that leads right to Amazing Spider-Man #666…and beyond.â€

Spider-Man has gone toe-to-toe with the biggest and baddest villains of the Marvel Universe, but nothing can prepare him for what he’ll be up against next! So pack your bags and get ready to jump on the road to the biggest Spider-Man event of the year starting with Infested, only in Amazing Spider-Man #659!

In the meantime, Stan Lee recently begun a Morbius storyline in the Spidey newspaper strip...completly unrelated to this, I just thought I'd inform you of what I'd rather read than this ****.

Haven't they done this storyline with Venom a few times in the 90's... "Planet of the Symbiotes" springs to mind.

I'm getting sick of Spider-Man now, every story makes the promise of changing the characters life...and none of them focus on telling a good story. I might drop the title soon

Well considering what MJ said in the teaser.."Peter what have you done?" Could this be related to the machine that made him lose his spider sense? Just a stab in the dark since I'm probably wrong but I thought it was worth a mention.

Dropped Spider-Man ages ago. Also Spider-Man #666.. I wish it'd involve him dealing with Mephisto ..but it won't
