Marvel Magazine #7
"Avvisaglie di tempesta parte 1" marks a pivotal moment in the Marvel Italia lineup, featuring a standout collaboration by Kurt Busiek and Pier Paolo Ronchetti with Alex Ross handling pencils, inks, and colors—his lush, painterly style bringing a rare emotional weight to the story. The issue follows a writer named Phil, already famous for his work on the "Meraviglie," as he grapples with the aftermath of witnessing Gwen Stacy’s death, forcing him to reconsider his path while working on a new project with an assistant. The cover by Jae Lee delivers a striking, atmospheric image that captures the story’s brooding tone.
In "Avvisaglie di tempesta parte 1," Spider-Man stumbles upon alarming news about A.R.M.S. only to have the data stolen and erased by Steel Fist. As he gives chase, the two are suddenly confronted by the mobile arsenal Platoon, sent by A.R.M.S. to eliminate them.
In "Avvisaglie di tempesta parte 2," Spider-Man and Iron Fist clash with the first Platoon high above the Brooklyn Bridge, their battle a lightning strike in a storm gathering strength. Meanwhile, A.R.M.S. readies a full-scale field demonstration of the Platoon armor, turning the city into a proving ground for a new kind of power.
In "Il giorno in cui lei morì," Phil, a writer already famed for his work on the Marvels, finds his life upended after witnessing the death of Gwen Stacy—a woman he once knew. Haunted by the moment and the weight of his past, he abandons his work on a follow-up to his acclaimed book, leaving behind both fame and the quiet routine he’d built with his assistant.
