The first 100 issues of the Amazing Spider-Man title are in the books! And the next chapter in the web-slinger's anthology kicks off with the debut of Marvel's first bronze age vampire: Morbius! However at the moment Peter Parker has a much bigger problem on his (six) hands. After drinking the special potion he developed, Aunt May's nephew grew four additional arms! Oh my goodness!
