If you're all caught up on the main AXE: Judgment Day title, you already know that before the Celestial made its judgment to destroy Earth, it first judged a number of individuals around the Marvel Universe, including Peter Parker - who🐬 was found "worthy," and given a thumbs-up.

Now, September 28's from writer 🔯Zeb Wells, artists Nick Dragotta and Marcio Menyz, aওnd letterer Joe Caramagna tells the emotionally devastating tale of Peter's Celestial judgment.

Spoilers ahead for Amazing Spider-Man #10

As seen on the cover of Amazing Spider-Man #10, the Celestial judge appears to Peter in the form of♑ his long dead gir💫lfriend Gwen Stacy. 

Finally, Peter heads 🐻to work at OsCorp, where he recently started working for Norman Osborn, who has supposedly turned over a new leaf from his previous life as the Green Goblin. There he has a friendly chat with Kamala Khan, who is being judged by a vision of Carol Danvers. 

However, the Celestial-Gwen's demeanor changes at OsCorp - after all, it's Osborn who killed the actual G🃏wen Stacy back in 1973's . Peter senses the Celestial-Gwen's anger at his decision to work for Osborn, but explains that he knows what the real Gwen would think, that she would also judge him for his decision.ꩵ 

But he explains that since her death, Gwen has been Peter's moral guiding ꦯlight - he always judges himself by questioning what Gwen would think of him. Peter states that Osborn has been given a fresh start, to be a good person, and he wants to help him reach that potential. Finally, Peter confesses that deep in his heart, he still loves Gwen.

"I see your hea✃rt, Peter," the Celestial-Gwen states. "🐷It is full, open, and alive…and so I judge you worthy."

Af♔ter being given the thumbs-up, something unexpected happens…

The Celestial-G💝wen dissipates, leaving the actual, flesh-and-blood Gwen Stacy in its place who recognizes Peter is significantly older than when she knew him alive.

She and Peter tea༺rfully hug and say how much they miss each other - but then Gwen start꧟s to fade away again.

"He just🌠 wanted to give us a moment," says Gwen. "To see th🙈at beautiful heart of yours open."

And t⛎hen she's gone once more,🥂 leaving Peter alone, in tears.

But Osborn is watching on from afar and sees the whole thing - including the actual momentary return of Gwen. And as his own Celestial judge looks on also in the form of Gwen Stacy, Oꦐsborn seems to have a moment of near-breakdown as he realizes his own judgment ꩵis all too real - perhaps fraying just a little too close to his Green Goblin persona.

is due out October 12.
