Spider-Man: Origin of the Species #[nn]

This 2011 hardcover collects the climactic storyline from the final months of Brand New Day, as Spider-Man races against time to save the life of Harry Osborn's infant son. With the child's unique genetic makeup making him a target, a host of classic villains—including Doctor Octopus, the Vulture, Electro, Mysterio, and the Chameleon—converge in a desperate bid to claim the baby for their own sinister purposes. The collection features the work of writers Dan Slott, Mark Waid, and Fred Van Lente, with art by Paul Azaceta, Marcos Martín, and Stefano Caselli, and includes the tie-in issues that set the stage for the 'Big Time' era.
