10 Most Intense Comic Books Of All Time
9. The Amazing Spider-Man #700
There are hundreds of amazing Spider-Man issues that have been printed over the years, but few stand in comparison to the intense storyline that concluded with the apparent death of Peter Parker at the hands of Otto Octavius.
The Amazing Spider-Man #700, written by Dan Slott and penciled by Humberto Ramos, Richard Elson, concluded the storyline Dying Wish and launched a new interpretation of the character called the Superior Spider-Man. This was Spider-Man, but with the mind of Doctor Octopus.
Doc Ock successfully transferred his mind into Peter's body and vice-versa. The only problem for Pete was that Ock's body was falling apart. Shortly after the transfer went through, Peter died and left his body as the sole property of one of his oldest and worst villains of all time.
The subsequent issues saw Octavius take Spidey into a more authoritarian role as "protector" of New York City. He also helped him finish his PHD, but for the most part, he ruined his life. Of course, Peter eventually regained control of his body, but this issue saw their final battle come to a dramatic conclusion few in the industry could ever forget.
