Synopsis:
In 480 BC, King Leonidas of Sparta gathers just 300 of his best men to fight the upcoming Persian invasion. In what is likely a suicide mission due to the massive number of Persians, they and their allies plan to stop King Xerxes' invasion of Greece at the narrow cliffs of the "Hot Gates" (Thermopylae). The terrain prevents the Greeks from being overwhelmed by Xerxes' superior numbers (a military tactic usually called "defeat in detail").

Synopsis:
Thirteen years ago, a young 15-year-old named Peter Parker was on a school field trip to a science lab. There a spider got a large dose of radioactivity. Dying for life, the spider bit Peter on the hand. We all know this story of the origin of the Amazing Spider-Man. But what we don't know is that something else happened too. The spider didn't die right away. Instead it crawled on the floor and bit a young dark-haired girl near the ankle. Her name is Silk. And she is Spider-Man's Original Sin.
Notes:
-Signed & Sketched by Humberto Ramos on 08/27/2022
-Sketch Cover
-Amazing Reality takes place during the storyline Learning to Crawl.
-Peter's being bitten by the spider was described as taking place fifteen years ago in Alias #22 (2003).
Trivia:
-This comic had over 600,000 pre-orders and sales - more than any other individual comic book of the 21st century.
-Spider-Woman and Captain America both acknowledge that Peter is Spider-Man in this issue. While Spider-Woman discovered this in New Avengers #51, it is unknown how Cap knows this.
Quote: "A stray Spider accidentally absorbs a fantastic amount of radioactivity. The dying insect, in sudden shock... Bites the nearest living thing... At the split second before life ebbs from it's radioactive body! But there's something you should know... A lot can happen in a split second." —Narrator

Synopsis:
After 'Venom' surprised Mary Jane at her apartment last issue she is in total shock. Peter comes back and tries to help her get her thoughts together. He knows that Mary Jane is quite a tough woman, so whatever did this to her must have been really horrible.
Mary Jane can't stay at the apartment that night because it scares her so much so her and Peter stay in a hotel that night. She then tells Peter that they can move into the luxury Beford Towers. Mary Jane has the idea to get some pre- move pictures so Peter swings (literally) over to his old Chelsea Street apartment to get his camera...and the Fantastic Four's sonic blaster for the symbiote.
As he's walking out, someone's following him. So he ducks into an alley and swings off as Spider-Man to get away.
While Peter is having dinner at Aunt May's, we go to Our Lady Of The Saints Church where a man talking to himself until a security guard tells him to stop because he broke in. But all of a sudden the black symbiote comes over the man and he kills the guard despite not wanting to. "But nothing can in the way of our plans! Nothing will!" he says.
Meanwhile, at the new Parker residence, some of their friends are helping out moving stuff into their new apartment. Peter's talking to Robbie Robertson out on the balcony when he see's the symbiote swinging past and rushes off!
Spidey follows the symbiote to an abandoned building where they fight for a bit until Venom reveals his identity as Eddie Brock! An origin story follows that tells of Brock being a journalist for the Daily Globe and writing articles about the Sin Eater a few months back. He says he got a call from a man claiming to be the Sin Eater! Of course, Brock writes a story about it but when Spider-Man reveals that really Stan Carter was the Sin Eater Brock was fired, The Globe was a laughing stock and his peers questioned his ethics. And Brock blamed Spider-Man for all this, if he hadn't of butted in, none of this would've happened...
Then, just as he was about to commit suicide, he was asking for forgiveness at the Lady Of Our Saints Church when the symbiote fell down onto him! They were joined...and he knew everything about Spider-Man! So now Brock had the power to destroy his most hated enemy.
Back in the present, Spider-Man is just about to jump for the sonic blaster when they start fighting again! Spider-Man thinks he's knocked out Venom with a steel girder so he decides to go off, think of a new plan when all of a sudden he's swung back into the building by Venom and knocked out!
When he wakes up, Spider-Man finds himself in a huge web ball inside the bell of Our Lady Of Saints Church! Venom is going to kill him with extreme sound from the bell. The clapper starts and only Spider-Man's super-strength saves him the first few times, but he can't keep it up for any longer. So he holds on to the bell and that rips him out of the web ball! So now it's for Round Two with Venom.
They start fighting on the roof of the church when Spidey devises a plan. The symbiote must have a limited amount of webbing; and it must of used most of it to make the huge web ball, so if Spidey kicked Venom off he would shoot webbing up to save him, but if cut the webbing (with a bit of sharp roofing he found), Venom's webbing reserves would deplete! So he goes ahead with the plan and it works. Brock falls but is still alive, along with the symbiote. So Spidey takes them both (they're knocked out) to the Fantastic Four headquarters where they are kept in a special tank until a special prison cell can be made for them at the Vault.
And soon, Peter is at home talking to Mary Jane. She says she doesn't like Peter wearing the black costume, it brings back the terror of Venom sneaking up on her, and Peter agrees. So, Peter ditches the black costume and put's on the good ol' Red And Blues! And as the last page says: "The Legend Begins Anew!".

Synopsis:
Gideon prepares himself and has his agent, Eve, proceed as planned. She gives her boss, Emmanuel DaCosta, some poisonous coffee, and he dies from it. Meanwhile, Cable and Cannonball train in the Danger Room, where Sam tries to shut the volume of his blast field down. But he fails. Elsewhere, Boom-Boom and Rictor are arguing about the fate of the missing Wolfsbane. Rictor wants to go find her, but Tabitha doesn’t, fearing that they might end up killed or captured. Suddenly, Cable is attacked by a hired assassin named Deadpool, who Tolliver hired to kill Cable. They fight, and Deadpool manages to defeat most of the New Mutants, including Cable. However, they are rescued by Cable’s associate, Domino. Later, they go over the roster of former New Mutants members, but unfortunately, neither Cable nor Domino finds them good enough for the team. But Cable promises to have already taken some steps in changing that. Later that night, Rictor leaves the basement unseen, in search of Rahne, but has left a note for Tabitha. Again later on the same night, Sunspot is woken up by Gideon, with whom he is acquainted, who informs Bobby that his father is dead.

Magneto is hurt and is healed by Cortez. Rogue is found in Genosha but is pursued by the newly formed Acolytes wanting her to join them.

Synopsis:
The Heroes are finally regrouping to rescue She Hulk in Doombase while She Hulk herself is taking a severe beating. The ensuing battle leaves many heroes costumes in tatters. After Thor (having lost his cape and helmet) walked into the room into which the triumphant heroes are resting, with new gear, Spider-Man realizes that he should do the same thing. Hulk (Banner) informs Spidey that a machine that reassembles costumes and other forms of garbs is in the other room. Unbeknown to the Web-head he accidentally used the wrong machine and thus the Black Costume is born! After the symbiote is done shifting onto Spidey, Professor X informs the Heroes that Galactus is about to devour the planet!!!

Trivia:
- Mexican Foil Variant
- This is the first appearance of the Alien Symbiote that will become Venom.
- The black costume was created for this issue because Marvel was in litigation over the copyrights for the original costume. Between Secret Wars 8 and Amazing Spiderman #300 the black costume was used to fill in the gap for the red and blues.
