Amazing Spider-Man – Spiral | Comics

Crime lords of New York are getting desperate for territory control and Spider-Man tries his best to contain the madness.

After dealing with events of Spider-Verse and coming back from Multiverse, Peter Parker was swinging around New York City as Amazing Spider-Man. He comes across Captain Yuri Watanabe of NYPD surrounding an abandoned building on a warrant from Detective Teddy Rangel, who got a tip about Tombstone raising an army.

Spidey offers his help as they were partners in crime-fighting before but Watanabe decides to do things by book this time. However, their conversation is interrupted when Tombstone's men starts shooting at them. Spider-Man quickly takes them aside from harm's way and bursts through an army of goons before taking down their boss.

Tombstone and his men are all arrested shortly but Teddy was taken to hospital to deal with serious injury. In court, Judge Howell lets Lonnie Lincoln walk free from custody due to lack of evidence and Yuri gets heat from Chief Yaborough. Peter goes to talk to her at hospital in his civilian guise and a comatose Teddy eventually dies later.

That night, Watanabe gets a surprise visit from Martin Li AKA Mister Negative, who is revealed to be Teddy's source. He hands her photograph evidence of Judge Howell dealing drugs with Tombstone's guys. Even with this evidence at hand, she fails to convince police chief to issue a warrant against Howell and decides to go as Wraith.

She meets with Spider-Man to raid a construction site to find records on him and blew up a vault with anti-tank missile to get it. As Spidey argues over her vigilante methods of working, Mister Negative keeps an eye over her from afar. This led to Howell's arrest but Chief Yaborough tells her that she is taking things personally.

In uptown Manhattan, Goblin King and Hammerhead discuss terms of taking over Tombstone's territory when they are interrupted by everyone's friendly neighborhood Wall-Crawler. He informs Yuri about some sort of meeting at her precinct and both of them showed up to that gathering at Empire Royale Theater on midnight.

Though they managed to trash all mobs but Goblin King managed to flee and Hammerhead drags Spider-Man to a cage fight. He gets the first drop by sucker-punching Spidey, only to get beaten twice as hard to a knockout. As they two leave arguing over Wraith fighting for territory control, Mister Negative watches them from a nearby seat.

Shortly afterwards, a turf war breaks in between goons of Hammerhead and Tombstone at third precinct of Manhattan. Black Cat shows up to show them who is in charge but none of them are willing to join her. A new Crime Master approaches her suggesting that she try to win favor of those mobsters by breaking them out of jail.

Tipped off by Mister Negative about this plan of a breakout, Spidey and Wraith head to Ryker's Island. There, they fend off members of Enforcers and though Web-head gets mauled by Cat, he managed to convince her to walk away. Despite his efforts to contain the situation, one of Mr. Negative's Inner Demons henchmen shot Tombstone.

Though his attempt to form an alliance with Circus of Crime fell apart, he managed to deduce Captain Watanabe was Wraith all along and set her up to do his bidding. Yuri and Spidey soon find themselves teaming-up once again to foil another evil plan of Mr. Negative that involves fighting The Ringmaster and his entourage of crime.

Amazing Spider-Man – Spiral

In post-Spider-Verse period, writer Gerry Conway (Amazing Spider-Man – Renew Your Vows – Brawl In The Family, Amazing Spider-Man – Renew Your Vows – The Venom Experiment) took charge of mainline Spider-Man narrative along with talented artist Carlo Barberi (Deadpool – Suicide Kings, Ororo – Before the Storm) for a brief time.

Collecting issues #16.1-20.1 from Amazing Spider-Man monthly ongoing comic-book series, "Spiral" effectively wrapped up its third volume of publication from Marvel Comics in 2015 with a basic tale of gang wars in New York. Covers were done by artist Arthur Adams (Fantastic Four – Monsters Unleashed, Fear Itself – The Fearless).

Spiraling Out of Control

Following events of "Shadowland", New York underworld sees a power vacuum in absence of Kingpin. Most of these fights for territory were between Hammerhead and Tombstone, while Mister Negative was cooking his own plans. Things went worse from bad when Crime Master and reassembled Enforcers decides to help Black Cat.

Previous storyline "Graveyard Shift" was more about Peter Parker finding his place in his own company Parker Industries and among friends. "Spiral" is more about fighting old enemies under new circumstances that changes people forever. Most notably, recent events have drastically changed Captain Yuri Watanabe and her ways.

Amazing Spider-Man – New Ways to Die | Comics

Spider-Man faces a new goblin Menace while being hunted down by Norman Osborn and his Thunderbolts.

For long, Peter Parker has been fighting crime as the Amazing Spider-Man and selling his own photos to J. Jonah Jameson at Daily Bugle. Even though JJJ was bashing his alter-ego, he was okay with the paycheck but ever since Dexter Bennett became his new boss, he has been feeling like being forced to cross a line and so, he quit the job.

Lately, he has faced a new goblin named Menace, who was vandalizing campaign ads for mayoral candidate Bill Hollister and had a run-in with him. They exchanged blows and then the hero is left under rubbles as it escaped. He sees a wave of people coming out of that building and takes some photos for the sake of a possible news story.

Since Dexter Bennett had him blacklisted at every paper in town, he goes to the office of Front Line, an independent newspaper ran by Ben Urich. They assume it to be an illegal sweatshop upon looking at the photos, even found links to it with another mayoral candidate Randall Crowne and they published a piece on him the next day.

Worried about his campaign, Crowne calls in his old friend who is the new sheriff in town, Norman Osborn and former super-villain Green Goblin. They agreed to a deal that Osborn will bring his parade of goons in Thunderbolts to apprehend the web-slinger. Plus, there is a story of a "Spider-Tracer Killer", which really makes it all easy to follow.

Bennett from DB sends Betty Brant to investigate a rumor of terminally ill patients getting miraculously healed in the homeless shelter at F.E.A.S.T. Center ran by billionaire Martin Li. She finds cancer patient and former host of Venom symbiote Eddie Brock residing there as a volunteer ever since Li has offered him a second chance at life.

Amazing Spider Man – New Ways To Die | Comics

To capture Spider-Man, who is now a fugitive with murder acquisitions, Osborn led a raid on the apartment of Peter Parker with Radioactive Man, Songbird and Venom from his Dark Avengers team to interrogate him about how to contact the wall-crawler as he keeps taking his photos for years and must have some means to contact him.

Even though Os-Man has no idea about Parker secretly being the Webhead he is looking for, he suspects they have some sort of working relationship. However, Normie had to leave Pete alone upon the arrival of his policeman roommate Vin Gonzales. Meanwhile, Eddie has discovered that he's been miraculously cured of his cancer.

Director Osborn sends his Thunderbolts team looking for Spider-Man over the city but the hero sneaks into his lair to confront the madman after taking down his security officials and webbing up Bullseye. When he hears Mac Gargan heading to F.E.A.S.T. Center looking for him, Spidey immediately rushes after the maniac to save Aunt May.

Gargan ran into Brock there and the latter suddenly transforms into Anti-Venom in response to the presence of a Venom symbiote nearby when it tried to bond with him again. Brock starts attacking both Venom and Spidey at the same time but ultimately concentrating on the former to cure him off his symbiote, considering it a plague on humanity.

Brock then teams up with the wall-crawler to take down rest of the Thunderbolts, who were eagerly waiting to get a piece of them. From a nearby roof, Osborn was observing the fight and then has a run-in with Menace, who comes at him out of nowhere but the former goblin quickly turn things around into his favor and throw off the attacker.

He then calls of Songbird and the other with the de-powered Gargan and back at Oscorp, he produces a counter formula using Anti-Venom's white symbiote substance. He also reverse engineered a targeting system using Peter Parker's camera from the roof for his henchmen to have a lock on Spider-Man's chest and shoot him down.

While sorting out personal issues regarding his girlfriend Lily Hollister and her father Bill being hospitalized after an attack from Menace, Harry Osborn finds out that his father has not changed to normal at all and is back in his goblin persona. Each with their own goal in mind, Anti-Venom and Spider-Man teams up to take the fight to enemy.

Amazing Spider-Man – New Ways to Die (Softcover)

Amazing Spider-Man – New Ways to Die (Hardcover)

"New Ways to Die" is a six part comic-book storyline that took place in Amazing Spider-Man monthly ongoing series from Marvel Comics in 2008, collecting issues #568-573. Writer Dan Slott (She-Hulk, Silver Surfer) and Mark Waid (Daredevil, Fantastic Four) collaborated with artist John Romita Jr. (Avengers Vs. X-Men, World War Hulk) on this one.

Eddie Brock is no longer Venom and earlier, he was diagnosed with cancer (Spectacular Spider-Man – The Hunger). It happened because of his long exposure to the symbiote and it then chose former Scorpion, Mac Gargan as the newest host. Eddie has become Anti-Venom, latest member to the symbiote-family and an arch-enemy to the black suit.

The Osborn Supremacy

As the events of "One More Day" takes effect, neither Brock nor Osborn knows who Spidey is anymore and in a situation like he is right now where almost everyone wants him dead, it is one of the blessings Peter counts on. Now, one of them chases him and the other becomes a temporary ally who offers a helping hand against an awful odd.

Following his transformation, Eddie became more powerful than ever and at the same time, became friendlier than his usual "Lethal Protector" style. Though Martin Li remained inert for this plot, he may have larger plans to execute in future as Mister Negative. Osborn will return with another of his scheme in the next arc "American Son".
