Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 2: Through The Gates Of Hell

Spider-Man is in for the battle of his life against Hellgate!

Peter Parker’s life has been worse. He’s got a steady job. Black Cat is giving him the time of day again. As Spider-Man, Peter’s taken some super-powered punches. But he’s never caught the kind of Hell that’s in store for him next: fighting for survival as he tries to keep Hellgate from destroying Manhattan! But what does this strange new foe want? And can Peter figure it out before his day gets a whole lot worse?! The city watches as Spider-Man takes the worst beating of his life. Battered and broken, Peter needs to level up if he’s going to survive the next round — and he has resolved to get stronger by any means necessary. He is a different man following Hellgate’s revelation — but Mary Jane Watson has a secret of her own to share! And the first foes to put Spidey’s strength to the test are Shocker and his new allies, the Aftershocks!
