In our first look at "The Amazing Spider-Man" #36, the bulky and boisterous demonic Spider-Man is sporting a fedora and coat while making a house call. At the same time, the Goblin Queen, who appears to be trying to track down the demon, is assembling her own forces in Limbo. Rek-Rap can be seen climbing up walls before being met by Spider-Man, who doesn't look thrilled to see him in New York City. Rek-Rap is tossed into the air, and before further conflict breaks out between Spider-Man and the monster who idolizes him, Rek-Rap is confronted by a horrifying creature from Goblin Queen's army named Re-Po, aka the Repossessor. Rek-Rap is horrified by the villain, who has a head sprouting out of their giant, monstrous body.
Rek-Rap holds on to Spider-Man before Re-Po (one of Goblin Queen's creations) tries to consume him, wrapping the demon in tendrils while offering a terrifying blank stare as he fights for survival. Spider-Man watches the confrontation, with the preview ending as he seems to get ready to jump into action.
"Spider-Man" editor Nick Lowe told Looper the issue is one of the nuttiest of the series: "Ed McGuinness is BACK on AMAZING SPIDER-MAN so you know things are about to get CRAZY! The fans have demanded more Rek-Rap and they are about to get their FILL with one of the nuttiest (and yet most intense) ASM stories ever. Not only are Zeb and Ed bringing Rek-Rap back, but they are introducing a new villain RE-PO, AKA THE REPOSSESSOR who may be more disturbing than Rek-Rap is delightful."
