We loved this storyline in the comic books and you have to give MJ a ton of credit for sticking with Peter! Anyway, this Marvel Renew Your Vows is one of the most striking images of any of the 1000-piece puzzles that we have on our list for you today.

Hyrule is one of the greatest locations in video game history and as we wanted to have some kind of Nintendo love on our best 1000-piece puzzles list, we felt this The Legend of Zelda Hyrule Map one was perfect.

This is the kind of map that you could imagine Link would find in one of the Zelda games and have to use to go and find the next piece of the Triforce or an item he can use in the next dungeon! For a Zelda fan, this would look epic in a nice frame once complete.
