 For the first time since Marvel destroyed Spiderman's continuity with the horrific "Brand New Day" story arc, I am actually hopeful for this comic.
In recent months, we've been subjected to the loss of Peter Parker's adulthood - a deal with Mephisto to save his Aunt May resulted in a retcon of the entire Spiderman series.

Then, in the first of the 3-part "Secret Invasion: Fantastic Four" miniseries, we see Marvel's first family begin their grudge match against the Skrulls (remember - Reed Richards turned the first Skrull invaders into cows back in the 60s), and for one of the team, it gets even more personal than that.
