Comic books typically indulge in what Stan Lee called " the illusion of change." As legendary comic book writer Peter David explained it with reference to Lee's Spider-Man run: It's fascinating to look back at the many changes Slott has made to the wall-crawler's world over the course of the last decade. The next issue will serve as an epilogue of sorts, tying Slott's remaining plot threads into a neat little bow. The landmark 800th issue sees one of Spider-Man's oldest friends die a hero's death in order to stop the Red Goblin's rampage. Learning the truth of Spider-Man's secret identity, Osborn has launched a terrifying attack on the wall-crawler's nearest and dearest. Slott decided to bow out in style, and this week Amazing Spider-Man #800 is the climatic end of his final Spider-Man epic, "Go Down Swinging." The arc has seen Norman Osborn bond with the Carnage symbiote, becoming the monstrous Red Goblin. Marvel's " Fresh Start" relaunch is seeing Slott finally step away from his Spider-Man duties, instead taking over the new series of Invincible Iron Man. The video runs through the covers of some of his most iconic issues, charting the many ways Spider-Man has changed and grown throughout Slott's run. Slott's joined a rotating crew of writers in 2007, but took over sole writing duties three years later. Dan Slott's decade-long run on Amazing Spider-Manhas finally come to an end, and in honor of the occasion Marvel has released a video celebrating his greatest issues.
