Press Release
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!

Oh good God.
He wasn’t on enough teams, so he’s making his own.
Sold. This will be awesome.
I call it lensman complex. When the desire of a team become so much you form your own corps. With everyone with same set of powers.
A sad mental obsession very common in comics. From DC to Marvel you need to make your own “corps”
So they’re just getting super strength, agility, and wall crawling and spider sense. They can’t get his webslingers. That’s not so terrible. The ordinary citizens getting powers is more threatening.
Looks like Spider-Man, Inc.
WHY is Jessica wearing Ben’s old blue hoodie?
and is the Spider-Rockette the abandoned Spider-Man: India dude?
Wait, what does Spider-Woman get out of this whole deal? Except for spider sense and web-shooting she already has all of Spider-Man’s powers and a few extra.
