True Believers, we’re assembling Earth’s mightiest and littlest heroes this month! As Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Infinity War continues to dominate the box office, Disney Publishing Worldwide is teaming up with Little Free Library and First Book to bring Avengers: Infinity War-themed library stands to select communities across the country beginning to roll out on Saturday, May 12, to celebrate the power of reading through free access to books. The Little Marvel Library stands will be stocked with books for two years, courtesy of Disney Publishing Worldwide and First Book, and will include a larger showpiece in Los Angeles and the first underground Little Free Library in New York City! The concept to create these brand-new themed libraries is to support Disney’s love of storytelling and to provide inspiration and opportunity to kids and families. The libraries will be set up in select areas across the United States, maintained by Little Free Library community stewards, and regularly stocked with books for two years. Featured titles in the libraries will include Avenger’s: Infinity War titles such as The Heroes’ Journey (Road to Avengers: Infinity War), The Cosmic Quest Vol. 1, along with many other epic stories. Visitors to Avengers: Infinity War-themed Little Free Libraries, or any neighborhood Little Free Library, are also welcome to donate their own books.

The History of Spider-Man: 2011
by Marvel Comic Book News | May 5, 2018 at 4:44 am
|
|
For over 50 years, Spider-Man has been a sensational standout in the Marvel Universe and the web-slinger is now back on the silver screen once again in Marvel Studios’ “Avengers: Infinity War”! In celebration of his memorable history, we present Spidey’s spectacular step-by-step story… In AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #648, Spidey and his team fought both Dr. Octopus’ octobots and a new Sinister Six while Peter parker lost his apartment, but gained a new job at Horizon Labs. The Hood gained two Infinity Stones in AVENGERS #7, leading to the wallcrawler discovering the existence of the Illuminati in AVENGERS #8. He warned the Avengers of their responsibility to stop the Hood from gaining more Stones in AVENGERS #9, and flew off to Area 51 with Iron Man to pick up Stark’s own Infinity Stone in AVENGERS #10. After the Avengers’ ruse to stop the Hood using an image of Thanos in AVENGERS #11, Iron Man himself wielded the Infinity Gauntlet and the team stopped the Hood once and for all in AVENGERS #12. Later, Stark held a press conference to announce the rebuilding of fallen Asgard in AVENGERS #13. Phil Urich became the new Hobgoblin in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #649 and attacked Horizon Labs on Peter’s first day there. Spidey created a new suit to render him invisible in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #650, and teamed with Black cat to recover the reverbium Hobgoblin stole from Horizon for the Kingpin in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #651. The Avengers investigated a Doombot in NEW AVENGERS #8, staked out former HAMMER agents and their boss Superia in NEW AVENGERS #9, and when Mockingbird went down with a gunshot wound, Spidey called an ambulance in NEW AVENGERS #10. While waiting on news of his partner at the emergency room in NEW AVENGERS #11, the webslinger wondered if Victoria hand set his team up for Superia’s attack, and subsequently helped defeat her in NEW AVENGERS #13. Alastair Smythe and the Spider-Slayers returned in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #652, as well as Mac Gargan as the Scorpion. Spidey battled Gargan at the launch of John Jameson’s space shuttle in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #653, but during the final clash between the wallcrawler and his enemies, J. Jonah Jameson’s wife Marla died as a result in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #654. Following Marla’s funeral in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #654.1, Spider-Man swore that no one else around him would die on his watch in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #655. An intense battle with new violent villain Massacre in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #656 moved Peter to fashion a suit of armor to help defeat him. The webslinger joined the Fantastic Four in remembering the fallen Johnny Storm in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #657, and learned Johnny bequeathed him his spot on the famous team. On his first mission with them in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #658, he investigated several space-time rifts, fought the Sinister Six in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #659, and helped close the rifts with Reed and the others in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #660. In NEW AVENGERS #14, Spidey threatened to quit the group over his suspicions of Victoria Hand, but when the Red Skull’s daughter Sin began her vicious attacks on New York in NEW AVENGERS #15, he stood by their side in FEAR ITSELF #1 to face the coming of the Serpent, an ancient foe of Asgard’s Odin. In FEAR ITSELF #2, Captain America dispatched Spidey and others to investigate strange mystical hammers fallen to Earth, and in NEW AVENGERS #16, the webslinger welcomed Daredevil onto the team to bolster their ranks during the crisis. While searching for his Aunt May in FEAR ITSELF: SPIDER-MAN #1, Spidey saved citizens from their own fears and encountered Vermin and his rats. In FEAR ITSELF: SPIDER-MAN #2, he witnessed the Thing pick up one of the mystical hammers and be transformed by it, and in FEAR ITSELF: SPIDER-MAN #3, he faced off against his friend, now called Angrir. Back with the Avengers in FEAR ITSELF #5, Captain America ordered him to stand down, which he did until he confirmed May’s safety in FEAR ITSELF #6 and headed back into the fray. In FEAR ITSELF #7, Spidey took up an Asgardian weapon forged by Tony Stark and fought to defeat Sin and her warriors, but she escaped in AVENGERS #17. With Earth’s Mightiest Heroes deciding who would fill the slots on a new team in AVENGERS #18, the webslinger stood in as a substitute teacher at Avengers Academy in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #661 and he and his class took down Psycho-Man together in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #662. Spidey fought Anti-Venom in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #663 over the question of Mister Negative’s true identity, which stood revealed to our hero’s satisfaction in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #664. Norman Osborn escaped prison in NEW AVENGERS #16.1, and sent a giant robot after the Avengers in NEW AVENGERS #17 while he began to rebuild Hydra from the remnants of its past lives. Peter searched for a mugger who assaulted Betty Brant in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #665, but when New Yorkers started exhibiting powers identical to his own in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #666 he turned to address the mayor’s lockdown of the city in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #667. Total chaos erupted on the island in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #668 while Spidey and other heroes looked frantically for a cure to the weird spider virus. Anti-Venom believed he held the key to a cure in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #669 as the Adriana Soria, known as the Queen, revealed herself as the virus’ source. Mayor Jameson and other mutated into human spiders in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #670, and when Mary Jane Watson gained spider powers she swung off to help Spidey fight back to hordes. Reed Richards developed a real cure in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #671, but as the real webslinger pushed through a gauntlet of foes, the Queen grew stronger. Finally, after Ariana mutated into a giant spider in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #672, our hero and his clone Kaine brought about her crushing defeat.
