Today, Marvel published Amazing Spider-Man #699, the follow up to the explosive twist in Amazing Spider-Man #698. So, you know, spoilers.

But if you'd thrown your arms up in the air at the dead Peter Parker-in-Doctor-Octopus' body, and had sworn off picking up the next issue, maybe this will change your mind.

Or maybe it won't.

You see, Peter Parker isn't dead. At the beginning of the new issue, the SHIELD medical team get to work and revive his crashing body. And then we get a narrative from Peter Parker's point of view as he explores his new body… and its memories.

Firstly, we were bang on the money with this theory and where it all began.

But more than that, we discover events that occurred before the planned marriage of Aunt May and Otto Octavius. And exactly what they got up to with Doc Ock's ninth appendage.

So not only do we get this revelation but Peter Parker has to experience having sex with his aunt, first hand.

Why does it feel that this could be a Key Issue for collectors?

Here's the money shot. As it were.
