Wells and Chris Bachalo first saw Rabin in 2008’s Amazing Spider-Man#555. He used his scientific and supernatural skills to defeat a band of undead Mayan warriors, calling himself Wayep the god of mischief. While Rabin was unable, the second time around, he marked Peter and Mary Jane for sacrifices.

While Rabin’s latest actions are still being discovered, it is clear they are closely connected to Peter and MJ’s decades-long marriage. This is something that has loomed over the entire run of Amazing Spider-Mansince issue 1. These events, in addition to destroying Peter’s romantic relationship with Rabin, also alienated Peter from his friends and family. Editor Nick Lowe said that this story arc, which will conclude with May’s Amazing Spider-Man#26 reveals everything that happened before that. Lowe cautioned readers, “You might also be crying.” Zeb took me through the story, and I can attest to that.
