About the series
In the wake of Doctor Octopus's apparent death, Spider-Man must contend with the unexpected arrival of the deceased villain's family—a wife and children he never knew existed—in this 1995 Marvel miniseries. Written by Tom Brevoort and Mike Kanterovich with art by Al Milgrom, Stewart Johnson, and Tod Smith, this three-issue story explores the collateral damage of a super-villain's life through a deeply personal, character-driven lens. It stands as a unique, somber chapter in Spider-Man's history, focusing on legacy and grief rather than a traditional supervillain threat.
