Alex Ross reveals cover to "Amazing Spider-Man #20" - DOC OCK LIVES AGAIN

Looks like a familiar Spider-Man villain is making his long awaited return from the dead, as Alex Ross revealed via his Facebook page his amazing cover to Marvel's "Amazing Spider-Man #20" - which shows Doctor Octopus back in his own body and tearing the mask of the webslinger apart!

While no details on exactly how Doc Ock comes back has been revealed, those who follow current ASM series written by Dan Slott know that after seemingly sacrificing his brain to restore Peter Parker back to his own body during the events of "Superior Spider-Man", Ock was able to make a back up of his mind in the robotic body of the "Living Brain". With the major Spidey event "Dead No More" fast approaching, it's a no brainer that Otto Octavius will return as a result of the events of that storyline.

SDCC '13: Superior Spider-Man faces Flash Venom in "Darkest Hours"

As SDCC' 13 kicks onward, so does the big news on a certain "Superior" wall-crawler!

Things may be looking up for the Superior Spider-Man currently, but come the next few months, it's going to be a dark road ahead for Doc Ock's new life as he comes face to face with another individual leading a new legacy as well... Flash Thompson, aka Venom!

Announced in the San Diego Comic Con via Marvel's own Superior Spider-Man panel, writer Dan Slott is putting these two unlikely heroes in the same place and the same time come November in Superior Spider-Man #22, as a new four-part story arc called "Darkest Hours" will see the new "Spidey" clash with the new "Venom". One can only wonder how this will turn out... And if things will ever be the same for the life Spider-Man.
