The Amazing Spider-Man, The Death of Jean DeWolff #[nn]
In "Original Sin [Death of Jean DeWolff Part 1]," Peter David and Rich Buckler deliver a gripping chapter in Spider-Man’s ongoing struggle as the Sin-Eater strikes again—this time in broad daylight, leaving a judge dead and Spidey powerless to stop him. With the weight of Jean DeWolff’s murder still fresh, Peter digs into her past and uncovers unsettling personal connections, while Matt Murdock grapples with loss on two fronts. The cover by Rich Buckler and Bob McLeod captures the tension perfectly, setting the stage for a story that lingers long after the final page.
