MILES MORALES: SPIDER-MAN BY CODY ZIGLAR VOL. 3 - GANG WAR

The Big Apple is under siege! As super villains and criminal gangs violently carve the city up like pie, it's Miles Morales' job to save all of Brooklyn from destruction! But between the Scorpion, the anti-super Cape Killers and the Hobgoblin making moves, there are too many fires for Miles to put out on his own. Maybe Ms. Marvel can lend a big hand? And when the Prowler enters the battlefield, whose side will he be on? When it comes down to it, Miles is on a collision course with the Hobgoblin - and if the maniacal villain's masterstroke comes off, he'll be the most powerful super villain in all of New York City! Plus: There's a traitor in Miles' midst, and a single act of betrayal could define the rest of Spider-Man's life! And Dylan Brock, A.K.A. Venom, has a bone…or a brain…to pick with Miles Morales, the young Spider-Man! And it's not the first time that Miles has had to survive an encounter with a Venom!
