"Amazing Spider-Man writer Dan Slott has revealed that he has received death threats over the comic&amp;#039;s controversial final storyline. Some readers have reacted angrily to the game-changing plotline currently playing out in the series&amp;#039;s final issues, posting abuse directed at the scribe on Twitter.   &amp;quot;Death threats and threats of violence are being reported. Insults and vulgarity are being blocked. Not criticism. Please be civil. Thank you,&amp;quot; he wrote on the microblogging site. Slott even warned a specific user that he is planning to take legal action against him, but insisted that he has not been &amp;quot;rattled&amp;quot; by the backlash. &amp;quot;Thanks. I know who you are. I have a screen cap. You live in the US. That&amp;#039;s illegal and NOT covered under free speech. Expect legal action,&amp;quot; he added. &amp;quot;No. Not rattled at all. I&amp;#039;m middle aged and out of shape. I can&amp;#039;t take someone in a fight. But I CAN sue them. Till it hurts. So worth it.&amp;quot; The reports follow the news that Amazing Spider-Man #700&amp;#039;s ending had leaked onto torrent websites ahead of its December 26 release.
