From the Inside Dustflap:

THE YEAR'S BEST SPIDER-MAN STORIES, COLLECTED TOGETHER IN ONE AMAZING VOLUME!

In THE BOOK OF EZEKIEL, Peter delves further into the mysterious totemic origin of his powers when his enigmatic mentor returns! He’s aided Peter in the past, but is Ezekiel truly Spider-Man’s friend and ally, or something much more? Plus: In the aftermath of an interdimensional rift caused by Spider- Man and Doctor Strange’s battle with Dormammu, a sorceress of limitless power is set free from years of captivity…and sets forth on a quest through Manhattan to properly thank the one responsible for it: the wall- crawler himself! Guest-starring Thor’s ne’er-do-well stepbrother, Loki!

In SINS PAST, a stunning new evil emerges to stalk Peter Parker as the biggest Spider-Man event in years rocks the wall-crawler’s world! The worst defeat that Peter Parker ever endured – a moment frozen in the minds of Spider-Man fans everywhere – was supposed to be far in his past. But now, two villains – ripped, perhaps, directly from that very moment – have emerged and they threaten to destroy everything that he holds dear!
