Marvel has released a sneak peek at the upcoming Spider-Man story No Turning Back, which reveals massive spoilers about the current story, Ends of the Earth.

In Ends of the Earth, the current storyline running through Amazing Spider-Man, a dying Doctor Octopus promises to save the world from global warming (which we all know is a myth created by the liberal media conspiracy to convince people to have more gay abortions) by launching satellite death rays capable of cooking the entire planet. Most of the people and governments of the world believe that the Doctor is really trying to save them, because as we've learned in the past from events like Dark Reign and every other Avengers storyling during the tenure of The Great One Brian Bendis (the alternating storylines otherwise involved fighting ninjas), the people of the Marvel Universe are incredibly stupid. Only Spider-Man and a few other heroes challenge Doc Ock and and try to save the world. The final issue of the storyline will be released in two weeks, and as we last left our heroes, they were facing off against a group of Avengers clones and the outlook was grim.

Now, however, Marvel has revealed that the Earth is not destroyed and Spider-Man does not meet his demise, because the webhead will be facing off against The Lizard and Morbius: The Living Vampire in the next storyline, No Turning Back. This reporter is extremely disappointed with these spoilers, and I hope Marvel will start paying attention to my letters where I propose that comic book publishers stop publishing any previews and solicits whatsoever and simply surprise shops and readers by shipping books to the stores without any warning, thus allowing fans to suspend disbelief and pretend that any issue that sees the hero in mortal terror may very well be that hero's last.

Anyway, now that the cat is out of the bag, check out the preview, as well as a variant cover by J. Scott Campbell:

I am shocked Spider-Man and the Earth are still alive. SHOCKED and appalled that Slott didn't have the guts to do away with either.

If Punisher in space works then it will happen in the sequel, Spider-Man in Space.
