"'''Dying Wish'''" is a 2012 [[comic book]] storyline in ''[[The Amazing Spider-Man]]'', published by [[Marvel Comics]]. The story began with a prologue in ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #698 and ending in ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #700, the final issue of that series, ending over fifty years of Marvel's publication of ''The Amazing Spider-Man''. The series was replaced with ''[[The Superior Spider-Man]]'', which premiered in January 2013. The story concluded a storyline started in ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #600, which revealed that the Spider-Man villain [[Doctor Octopus]] is terminally ill from his years of crime and fighting superheroes. Aware of his impending death, Doctor Octopus sets in motion a plan that began with the March 2012 story "[[Ends of the Earth (Marvel Comics)|Ends of the Earth]]" and finished in "Dying Wish", where the villain successfully swapped consciousnesses with Spider-Man's alter ego [[Peter Parker]], thrusting the hero into his decaying body.
 
The story was controversial, concluding with the death of Parker in Octopus' body, and Octopus surviving as the rechristinedrechristened Superior Spider-Man. "Dying Wish" encompassed some of the best-selling comics of 2012, with issue #700 listed as the 4th best selling comic of the year.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.comichron.com/monthlycomicssales/2012.html|title=Comichron: 2012 Comic Book Sales to Comics Shops|website=Comichron|language=en|access-date=2018-07-26}}</ref>
