MARVEL COMICS FIRST LOOKS

FIRST LOOK: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #616

Amazing Spider-Man #616 will arrive in stores on Dec. 23 from Marvel Comics. The issue is written by Fred Van Lente, with art Javier Pulido and a cover by Paolo Manuel Rivera.

Here's how Marvel describes the issue:

"The Sandman has vacillated between good and evil over the years, joining the Sinister Six and the Frightful Four...as well as becoming a reserve Avenger and a member of Silver Sable's Wild Pack. But as of this issue, and forever more, he will always be known as a villain -- one of the worst in the Wall-Crawler's Rogues Gallery -- and it's all Spider-Man's fault! Find out the shocking reason why in this issue as 'The Gauntlet' continues!"

Amazing Spider-Man #616 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99.
