"Amazing Spider-Man&amp;#039;s 50th anniversary story arc has been unveiled by Marvel Comics. The publisher announced that the &amp;#039;Ends of the Earth&amp;#039; plotline will see the superhero operate on a global scale to thwart Doctor Octopus&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;greatest master plan of all time&amp;quot;.  Dan Slott will shoulder writing duties on the six-issue plotline, which kicks off in March&amp;#039;s issue #682. Stefano Caselli will provide artwork for the first two and last two issues. &amp;quot;[Doc Ock&amp;#039;s] got one shot for one master plan. He&amp;#039;s going for the whole thing. He&amp;#039;s going for the world\u00E2\u20AC\u00A6 This is Otto Octavius&amp;#039;s big grab for the greatest master plan of all time,&amp;quot; Slott told CBR. Slott added that the story will rival his recent &amp;#039;Spider-Island&amp;#039; event in scope, and remain self-contained within the Amazing Spider-Man title.  Doctor Octopus recently defeated Iron Man, Hank Pym&amp;#039;s Avengers Academy recruits and the Fantastic Four&amp;#039;s Reed Richards in other Marvel titles as part of the build-up to the anniversary arc. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve never done a Spider-Man story on this scope before,&amp;quot; the writer explained. &amp;quot;I think a lot of the stuff I do is on character, but this one I think the focus is a lot more on action and adventure.  &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s so big and the fallout from it is going to be huge. It&amp;#039;s going to be neat at the end of the day when this is over where all the pieces are on the table. They&amp;#039;re going to be in a lot of interesting spots.&amp;quot; &amp;#039;Ends of the Earth&amp;#039; begins in March&amp;#039;s Amazing Spider-Man #682.
