During as we speak’s Marvel’s Next Big Thing panel at San Diego Comic Con, Marvel introduced an upcoming crossover that can place Spider-Man and most of the writer’s different street-level heroes in the center of a battle between New York’s super-criminals. Amazing Spider-Man: Gang War will run for 5 months starting in November, and can embody eight problems with Amazing Spider-Man, 5 problems with Miles Morales: Spider-Man, and a slew of one-shots and tie-in miniseries.
Here’s how Marvel describes the occasion:
Spinning out of Zeb Wells and John Romita Jr.’s hit run of Amazing Spider-Man, GANG WAR will see a conflict erupt between the gang lords of New York City, inflicting chaos all through the Big Apple. Villains are preventing villains. Criminals are preventing criminals. Hobgoblin, Mr. Negative, the Owl, Shotgun, Diamondback, A.I.M., H.Y.D.R.A., and extra battle with and towards one another for NYC supremacy. For Peter Parker, “going on patrol” isn’t sufficient.. and he declares his personal conflict on super-crime. It’s General Spidey on the helm, main a group of heroes that features fellow Spider-Man Miles Morales, She-Hulk, Daredevil, and Spider-Woman. Their objective: take down the super-gangs in underneath 48 hours. But what does Mayor Luke Cage and the town’s sturdy anti-vigilante legal guidelines should say about it? Will Jackpot gamble on getting concerned? And is Shang-Chi a good friend or foe? They higher all determine it out earlier than two traditional villains make a game-changing return!
Amazing Spider-Man author Zeb Wells will spearhead the storyline in the primary ASM title and in a tie-in ASM: Gang War First Strike one-shot in November, on which Wells will likely be joined by artist Joey Vasquez. Artists on the problems of Amazing Spider-Man tying into the storyline embody Ed McGuinness and John Romita Jr. The Miles Morales: Spider-Man installments of the story will come from ongoing collection author Cody Ziglar, with artwork on the early chapters by Partha Pratim and Federico Vicentini.
What’s a Marvel occasion with out tie-in miniseries, although, and Gang War‘s acquired these, too. A four-issue Spider-Woman collection by Steve Foxe and Carola Borelli will pull Jessica Drew into the motion. Meanwhile, Luke Cage, Daredevil, and the Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu will all get their very own Gang War miniseries from the inventive groups of Rodney Barnes & Ramon F. Bachs, Erica Schultz & Sergio Davila, and Greg Pak and an unannounced artist, respectively.
The new storyline is the second Spider-Man story to bear the identify “Gang War.” The authentic “Gang War” story ran for 5 points in the late ’80s, from Amazing Spider-Man #284 by means of 288. That storyline featured 5 New York gangs run by criminals from Hobgoblin to Hammerhead all going to conflict for management of the town, with Spidey in the center. I assume each 35 years or so the gangs of Marvel’s New York go to conflict. It occurs.
