Spoilers for Blood Hunt ahead.
As we now know, Blood Hunt will end with Doctor Strange transferring the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme to Doctor Doom, who has long been a contender to the mantle. This will result in the’One World Under Doom' status quowhich Marvel also teased in its Next Big Thing panel.
Part of Doom’s responsibilities as Sorcerer Supreme will involve protecting the Earth from magical threats. But Doom has bigger plans, and will enlist Spider-Man to be Earth’s magical protector, arming him with a magical suit and, as the title implies, eight “extra lives” that will help him survive the experience.
Here’s a look at McGuiness' design for the magical suit, along with the covers of Amazing Spider-Man #61 and #62:
Kelly and McGuiness will also be joined on their Amazing Spider-Man run by writer Justina Ireland and artist Gleb Melnikov. The arc was announced to run for a total of 10 issues, starting in November, directly following the end of writer Zeb Wells and artist John Romita Jr.’s current run.
