Writer Dan Slott has helped to guide Peter Parker’s stories in The Amazing Spider-Man for the past 10 years. He’s helped usher Peter from everything such as making it through “Brand New Day” through contending with Otto Octavius taking over his identity to Peter running his own tech company. Before he leave ASM to write Iron Man for Marvel, Slott has one final story in him, pitting Spidey against the Red Goblin, a hybrid of Norman Osborn and the symbiote Carnage.

Carnage and Osborn get acquainted.

While issue #801 is technically Slott’s final issue, #800 is the final showdown between the Red Goblin and the wall-crawler, as well as the first Marvel series to hit that issue number milestone. As we come closer to that key installment, Marvel has released the Alex Ross cover to ASM #800 that will commemorate the occasion.

The Amazing Spider-Man #800, writer Dan Slott’s penultimate issue, hits newsstands on May 30th from Marvel.

From the official press release:

For ten years, Dan Slott has taken Peter Parker on crazy and spectacular adventures throughout the Marvel Universe – and as he races towards his final issue, there’s no reprieve for the webslinger. “Go Down Swinging” takes Spider-Man on his most harrowing journey yet, and fans agree: the red hot arc has been an epic hit, with issues #794-796 selling out before they even hit comic shops!
