Spider-Man By Chip Zdarsky Omnibus [New Printing]

Celebrated writer Chip Zdarsky puts Peter Parker front and center!

Spidey and his ol’ pal the Human Torch learn that the Kingpin is still a force to be reckoned with! The web-slinger lands right in the middle of the Tinkerer’s family feud! Peter’s “sister” returns, J. Jonah Jameson makes a shocking discovery and they all end up in a world without a Spider-Man — where Norman Osborn reigns supreme! Plus: Zdarsky teams with legend Mark Bagley to tell Peter’s life story as if he aged in real time! And what if Spidey never took off the symbiote suit?
