Source-derived summary

Sins Rising is a 2020 comic book storyline published by Marvel Comics, starring the character Spider-Man and written by Nick Spencer. The storyline received generally positive reviews for its action, plot, dialogue and art. The storyline lasts from Amazing Spider-Man Vol 5 Issue 45–49, and Amazing Spider-Man: Sins of Norman Osborn #1.

Plot

Peter Parker is getting visions of a centipede going into his arm and has troubled dreams. Meanwhile, Sin-Eater attacks Overdrive as he is driving, which causes the car to flip over. Spider-Man takes Overdrive to a safe house and learns his identity. Spider-Man tries fighting against Sin-Eater but Sin-Eater distracts Spider-Man and shoots a bullet that passes through Spider-Man and hits Overdrive, wounding him severely. Sin-Eater disappears in smoke, and Spider-Man takes Overdrive to Carlie Cooper, where Overdrive suddenly revives.

A few days later, Spider-Man is fighting against the Lethal Legion during a public event when Sin-Eater arrives and shoots the Lethal Legion while absorbing their power. Using Grey Gargoyle's power, Sin-Eater turns Spider-Man to stone temporarily and shoots the rest of the Lethal Legion.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as 2020 Spider-Man comic storyline. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q104869762. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2020.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
