This sets in motion a series of plans first aimed at saving his life (in the 2010 storyline "Origin of the Species") and later at wiping out over seven billion people so that he will be remembered for his infamy (in the 2012 storyline " Ends of the Earth"). In The Amazing Spider-Man #600 (July 2009), Doctor Octopus is revealed to be dying from the injuries he has sustained from a career of fighting superheroes, particularly Spider-Man. When writing #698, Slott struggled with writing the dialogue for Doctor Octopus in Peter Parker's body, wanting to convey a subtle difference "weird enough that you kind of go, 'Man, they're not getting Peter's voice right this issue'", without giving away the reveal that the two had switched bodies. Slott responded to the leak by asking readers to wait for the full comic and experience the ending in context. The controversial ending of The Amazing Spider-Man #700 was leaked on December 14, 2012, twelve days before the issue's December 26 release date and four days before retailers were to receive the issue. Images containing the major story reveals of The Amazing Spider-Man #698 and #700 were leaked before their commercial release. "Dying Wish" encompassed some of the best-selling comics of 2012, with issue #700 listed as the 4th best selling comic of the year.
The story was controversial, concluding with the death of Parker in Octopus' body, and Octopus surviving as the rechristened Superior Spider-Man. 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 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. The series was replaced with The Superior Spider-Man, which premiered in January 2013. 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. " Dying Wish" is a 2012 comic book storyline in The Amazing Spider-Man, published by Marvel Comics.
