What this issue actually reads

A sniper's bullet meant for Peter finds Aunt May. Every door closes: science, magic, gods. And then the devil makes an offer: she lives, and the price isn't Peter's soul. It's something he values more.

Everything here comes from the comics themselves. No theories, no leaks, no fan-canon.

On screen

Spider-Man: Brand New Day takes its title from the morning after this deal.
