Back in Black Amazing Spider Man 539

Amazing Spider Man Issue 539

Okay, Aunt May has just been shot by a sniper who was trying to kill Peter Parker. Pete goes nuts and goes outside the motel and throws a car towards the killer's building. And Peter brings the dying Aunt May to the hospital. But she's lost too much blood and may die.

He goes back to the area of the sniper's position and finds a part of a rifle scope and goes looking for the criminals who would know of such information. He crashes a gun smugglers warehouse. The gunrunners start shooting. Peter, without his Spider Man costume on, starts taking out the gunrunners one-by-one. No rules, no punches held, he goes all out. In one panel you just see Peter's fist and blood spurting out near his fist. Everyone is taken out except for one guy. Peter asks this jabronni where has he seen the rifle scope before and who and where can Peter find him. The jabronni gives him the run around. Peter snaps his hand, it breaks like dried wood. The guy answers and gives him th einformation.

Meanwhile in a prison cell, Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin of Crime receives messages that although Spider Man was not killed, one of the other two targets was hit. And here you can see how dangerous The Kingpin still is. As he is behind bars in jail, you can obviously see the man is still powerful and in control of things outside.

Peter finds his old black costume. He puts it on, basically saying he will go find who did this. And then he will kill him. The black costume is back, basically according to the comics, it symbolizes how Peter Parker feels and how he will conduct business form now on. It was like reading a Batman comic book for its darkness in character and atmosphere. No happy or witty retort from Peter. But let's see the obvious, it's Back in Black because Spider Man 3 the movie is coming out and this is part of Marvel's marketing for the movie.
