In a move that could set the stage for Marvel’s cinematic future, Spider-Man and the X-Men are set for a high-stakes team-up in the realm of comics. The mutant squad will join forces with the wallcrawler against Cyttorak’s god-like Scions as part of the ongoing 8 Deaths of Spider-Man saga currently shaking up the Amazing Spider-Man canon in comics released Feb. 8, 2024.

As the title suggests, the stakes are Spider-Man’s life or death. After burning through his extra lives gifted to him by Doctor Doom, Peter Parker will require the now-heroic Juggernaut and his fellow X-Men to lend a hand—and keep him alive. Though Spidey-centric, the stories are primed for important wrinkles in the ongoing X-Men canon, Juggernaut being a former patron to Cyttorak.

Juggernaut Is a Key Player and Connector

Though Spidey-centric, the stories are primed for important wrinkles in the ongoing X-Men canon, Juggernaut being a former patron to Cyttorak. Moreover, with X-Men set to join the MCU soon, the story offers readers a glimpse into what could be the shared future of the super-team and Spider-Man’s on-screen collaborations, especially with the MCU’s expanding roles of Spider-Man and Doctor Doom.

The Deaths of Spider-Man arc is shepherded by some of Marvel’s most promising and celebrated creators. Justina Ireland, a rising star in comics, writes Amazing Spider-Man #67 and #68, alongside artist Andrea Broccardo. Amazing Spider-Man #68.DEATHS, a special bonus issue by veteran writer Christos Gage and renowned artist Mark Buckingham, will conclude the Spider-Man story, following the X-Men left to deal with the fallout of the preceding issues’ events.

Deaths started with Amazing Spider-Man #61, which can soon be read on Marvel Unlimited. The Amazing Spider-Man #67 and 68 will hit shelves on Feb. 8, 2024, followed by the tie-in Amazing Spider-Man #68.DEATHS issue shortly after. The upcoming issues are now available for pre-order at local comic shops or through Marvel.com.
