Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 3: Resolute

With Peter Parker in space, New York City still needs a Spider-Man – or two!

In the wake of his defeat at the hands of Hellgate, Spider-Man is far away from his friendly neighborhood. So who is that swinging around town in the red-and-blues? More to the point, who’s playing the role of Peter Parker so convincingly his colleagues and even his Aunt May haven’t noticed? If only the would-be webbed wonder was doing such a good job. Instead, his actions have attracted the attentions of NYC’s other arachnid-themed heroes – and they aren’t happy! Meanwhile, the deadly Goblin-Slayer is out for Norman Osborn’s blood – while the new Spider-Slayer endangers not only the stand-in Spidey, but also new teen hero Kintsugi! As Osborn’s sins come back to haunt him and everyone he cares about, one of the Spiders will make the ultimate sacrifice!
