The streets of Marvel are ready to explode as Gang War, the next story in the ongoing tale of Amazing Spider-Man launches from writer Zeb Wells and artist John Romita Jr.’s Spider-Man run.
The story sees the webcrawler taking the fight to the various warring elements of New York’s organized crime. Everyone from Tombstone, to the Owl, and beyond are locked in a fight for control of the Big Apple’s underworld, and Spidey plans to defeat them all in the span of 48 hours.
Spider-Man will have to recruit a cavalcade of heroes to help combat the chaos the criminals create. The battle reaches far and wide, bringing in Mayor Cage, Shang-Chi, and possibly MJ and her new superhero mantle, Jackpot. The story launches in Gang War: First Strike before continuing in Amazing Spider-Man #39 and a series of tie-in miniseries.
The GANG WAR continues in Miles Morales: Spider-Man #14, Spider-Woman #2, and Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu: Gang War #1
Miles Morales: Spider-Man #14
Spider-Man faces the strongest super-powered foes and most dangerous gauntlets the Multiverse can throw his way, and every time Miles Morales falls, he rises again — stronger than before. Until now. There are some punches you don’t get up from and a new villain isn’t pulling a single one as they threaten everyone and everything Miles loves. Between school, home, his love life and battling super-charged and upgraded villains night and day — Miles is reaching his breaking point.. and now he finds himself involved in the Gang War
