DARK WEB OMNIBUS

The worlds of Spider-Man and the X-Men collide in this titanic crossover that sees NYC transformed into a demonic hellscape!

Marvel's two most famous, and famously wronged, clones — Chasm (Ben Reilly) and the Goblin Queen (Madelyne Pryor) — are back, they've had enough of being second best and they're going to claim what's rightfully theirs! The sun is setting, and it's sure to be a long night for Spidey and the X-Men. But what role does the volatile Venom play in the clones' vengeful plot? What will become of the young hero Ms. Marvel when she ends up trapped in Limbo? Will Norman Osborn seize this chance for redemption as the Gold Goblin? And what devilish trouble will Mary Jane and the Black Cat get into? The dark web that Madelyne and Ben spin over Manhattan will change the NYC skyline forever!
