Madelyne Pryor. Ben Reilly. As clones of two of Marvel Comics' greatest superheroes, they've gotten the short end of the stick time and time again. This December, they'll join forces to take their ultimate revenge in Dark Web, an epic new crossover involving Spider-Man, the X-Men, Venom, Ms. Marvel, and more.
The saga will fan the embers of the iconic Inferno crossover and pack an emotional punch that pays off decades of Marvel Comics storytelling. We've already gotten a sneak peek at what's to come (during this year's "Free Comic Book Day," for example), and now, it’s time to see just how things will continue to spiral downward for our favourite heroes come January!
Dark Web will unfold in the pages of Zeb Wells' run on Amazing Spider-Man where he’ll be joined by superstar artist Ed McGuinness for the duration of the story arc. In issues #17 and #18, Peter Parker is reeling from the opening battles of the event and now finds himself in Limbo.
Peter not only has to find his way back home, but he has to do it in a truly hellish fashion. And who is shadowing him? As if the normal run-of-the-mill demons of Limbo weren’t enough, Spider-Man finds himself facing a small army of demonized versions of his rogues' gallery! Can he make it home to stop Chasm and the Goblin Queen in time?
Elsewhere, Norman Osborn will find himself face-to-face with his own sins after battling Chasm as Queen Goblin makes her terrifying return in Gold Goblin #3. Mary Jane Watson and Felicia Hardy, meanwhile, are trapped in Limbo and at the mercy of Belasco the Swordsman in Jed MacKay and Vincenzo Carratu's Mary Jane & Black Cat #3.
In Al Ewing, Ram V., and Bryan Hitch's Venom #14, Bedlam has come calling again, looking to finish what it started by killing Dylan Brock and Venom once and for all. Kamala Khan will also find herself teleported to Limbo in Sabir Pirzada and Francesco Mortarino's Dark Web: Ms. Marvel #2, while Madelyne's complex place within the Summers family leads to a dramatic confrontation in X-Men Gerry Duggan and Rod Reis' Dark Web: X-Men #3.
