MARVEL MANGAVERSE: WEB OF BLOOD #1

RETURN TO THE MANGAVERSE - JUST IN TIME TO SEE IT END?! Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of MARVEL MANGAVERSE, father-son duo JOE and JACK KELLY are teaming up with acclaimed artist KENNY RUIZ (STAR WARS: PATH OF THE LIGHTSABER) to revisit the Mangaverse as readers have never seen it before! In a world where technology no longer works and magic reigns supreme, a looming apocalypse threatens to end the world in a sea of flames - that is, unless SPIDER-MAN (MILES MORALES), WEAPON X-TREMIS (LAURA KINNEY) and MAGIK (ILLYANA RASPUTIN) have something to say about it! But as each attempt to stave off Armageddon leads each further down the road of forbidden magic, these friends turned enemies must confront the question of if their choices really will save the world - or doom it entirely!
