powers. Here is a thread to discuss the event and it's various issues, as well as keep updates (also keep track of the details for wiki editing use). Included are as many of the various free
previews as could be found, and the parts from the free Daily Bugle. Special thanks to danhimself, Silkcuts, Babs and G-Man for staying on top of this.
I'm really excited for this event, and think as it gets going it will be all the rage. It seems like it's going to be a fun ride, and I'm particularly happy to see characters
like Cloak & Dagger, Spider-Girl, The Bride Of Nine Spiders, Hercules, Julia Carpenter and more involved. I also like that it's formatted in a fairly self contained manner like Chaos War was.

THE SPIDER-MAN STORY OF THE DECADE BEGINS WITH THS “SPIDER-ISLAND: PRELUDE”
Super-star writer Dan Slott and fan-favorite Spidey artist Stefano Caselli are back! New York has been INFESTED and the web grows as it gets ready to explode into SPIDER-ISLAND! Normal people are getting Spider-Powers! But not all of them realize that with great power must also come ….you know the rest. Okay, sure we often say Peter Parker’s life will never be the same. But listen, pal, we’ve never been more serious. Heroes and villains are crawling all over Manhattan and no one knows why. This will change everything for Pete, for Spidey…and possibly for YOU! Look at it this way…If EVERYONE’S a Spider-Man… then no one is.
