Spider-Man set for revamp

A new look and a new suit are in store for Ultimate Spider-Man, but the fate of Peter Parker - the awkward teenager who catches thieves like flies - is still a mystery.

Marvel Comics said that Parker is taking off the Spidey costume for good as part of its Death of Spider-Man story in its Ultimate Comics imprint, but it has offered scant clues as to what ultimate fate may befall the high schooler who was bitten by a radioactive spider.
