10 Most Inappropriate Spider-Man Storylines

9. Spider-Man Gets Exploded By Sand - Marvel Zombies Return #1

It's fair to say that the entire of the Marvel Zombies series is pretty intensely messed up. Marvel Zombies Return, to our sick joy, is no exception to this rule - especially as it contains one of the single grossest deaths in comic history.

Because the Spidey-centric issue of the series revolves around Peter killing a bunch of supervillains to eat them, as he feels as though this is a moral way to carry out his zombie shenanigans. Our favourite zombified web-slinger cuts a bloody path through his rogue's gallery, all the way until he meets Sandman, who is seemingly significantly more averse to being made into a light lunch, and thus stuffs Peter full of sand until he bursts, which is all shown in delightfully gross detail.

While the distended stomach of a screaming Spider-Man is not the goriest moment in the series, it still manages to feel like the most disturbing - which is kind of a feat when you think about it.

I like my comics like I like my coffee - in huge, unquestionably unhealthy doses.
