Things to know

The run has uneven guest chapters; the principal value is Slott’s opening character work.
This book stops at #662. Spider-Island and #663–697 remain optional intervening reading before Superior’s included Dying Wish #698–700.
Agent Venom repeats #654.1 and the #654 backup; the remaining opening adds distinct Peter Parker stories.
