"Dying Wish" is a 2012 comic book storyline in The Amazing Spider-Man, published by Marvel Comics. The story began with a prologue in The Amazing Spider-Man #698 and ended in The Amazing Spider-Man #700, the final issue of that series, ending over fifty years of Marvel's publication of The Amazing Spider-Man. The series was replaced with The Superior Spider-Man, which premiered in January 2013.
The story concluded a storyline started in The Amazing Spider-Man #600, which revealed that the Spider-Man's nemesis Doctor Octopus is terminally ill from his years of crime and fighting superheroes. Aware of his impending death, Doctor Octopus sets in motion a plan that began with the March 2012 story "Ends of the Earth" and finished in "Dying Wish", where the villain successfully swapped consciousnesses with Spider-Man's alter ego Peter Parker, thrusting the hero into his decaying body.
The story was controversial, concluding with the death of Parker in Octopus' body, and Octopus surviving as the rechristened Superior Spider-Man. "Dying Wish" encompassed some of the best-selling comics of 2012, with issue #700 listed as the 4th best selling comic of the year.[1]
