Amazing Spider-Man(Ock) #699 Preview

[DrewHLMW]

Which members of Spider-Man’s rogues gallery will heed Ock’s call to arms?

Yes. Yes I do.

spidey is kinda running out of villains is he not?

Anti-Venom was cured in spider island, Rhino died, Electro was blasted into space by thor, Mysterio was lost to the ultimate universe, Conners is in control of the lizard body, Flash controls Venom, Carnage was lobotimized and now doc ock will probably die in 700. That a lot of villains to lose.

Well, I mean, Eddie isn't really dead-c'mon, we're all saving enough to know what's going on-and it's only a matter of time until Flash loses control of Venom.

But then again, what's wrong with leaving it open for new villains?

These previews have been too spoilery. Now we know Ocks body is still alive and Pete's gonna fight to comeback after talking to Ben in heaven. I kinda thought the whole "Pete is dead!?!?" thing shoulda lasted at least until the next issue. WTF!?! Spoil killing Slott let's this happen? Sigh.

Venom has the spawning and The Descent to build up to, and the recent solicits seem to be hinting that Eddie!Toxin will be coming back.
While I am curious how it's possible for Electro to come back, and being taken into the atmosphere is like what happened to Carnage, if Electro does end up being the villain of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, chances are he'll have his own story around that time.
Mysterio being in the Ultimate Universe really just gives him a chance to be a villain to Miles, but it does mean he can't be an enemy to Peter.
Connors may do something in 699, but it will probably just amount to little.
Minimum Carnage Omega ends with the doctor saying that Carnage may actually be more dangerous than ever before, with the symbiote in full control, but sedated. Quite frankly, he's in the least restrained scenario, as it could just take another breakout story to have Carnage fight against Peter.

But then again, what's wrong with leaving it open for new villains?

From what I know, the most successful villain has been Mister Negative, so maybe Slott is getting rid of Peter's enemies so that the Superior Spider-Man can develop his own rogue's gallery once he's done with the leftovers of Peter's? The Vulture is coming back, and then he's going to fight Massacre, but what about after that?
