Amazing Spider-Man Modern Era Epic Collection: Sins Past

Immerse yourself in J. Michael Straczynski’s status-quo-shattering run on Amazing Spider-Man as Peter Parker digs deeper into the mystic roots of his powers. In this Modern Era Epic Collection, Ezekiel returns to test Parker’s loyalties and reveal whether mentor or unknowable menace lurks behind the ancient totemic origin of Spider-Man’s abilities. After an interdimensional rift from Spider-Man and Doctor Strange’s clash with Dormammu, a sorceress of boundless power roams Manhattan, eager to repay the wall-crawler in the most thrilling way. Loki makes a guest appearance, and a sweeping new threat rises to threaten Parker’s world. This volume collects the core issues 503–518 (including the 509 Director’s Cut) in Straczynski’s acclaimed run, with John Romita Jr. on pencils and Mike Deodato Jr. providing the evocative cover art. A landmark chapter for Spider-Man’s modern mythos, it blends science-fiction suspense, quantum mysticism, and character-defining drama.
