The Spider-Man event that will rock the street-level Marvel Universe! New York City's super-crime landscape has been a ticking time bomb, and now it finally explodes! What incites the Gang War?! Who hired Shotgun and took out Tombstone? And what, if anything, can Spider-Man do about it? As NYC becomes an open battlefield for a ruthless super-villain conflict, the wall-crawler will need an amazing team. But which side will the injured Tombstone take in this war? And will Wilson Fisk, the former Kingpin of Crime, sit this one out? Don't bet on it! The biggest and most brutal battle in Spidey history is about to play out. And if you thought you knew what Madame Masque, Hobgoblin, Beetle or Diamondback were capable of, think again! Collecting AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: GANG WAR FIRST STRIKE and AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (2022) #39-44.
A writer for the Emmy Award-winning animated series Robot Chicken and co-creator of the stop-motion SuperMansion, Zeb Wells began making a name for himself at Marvel with his irreverent New Warriors limited series, which provided an inspiration for key story threads that would later appear in Civil War; he also wrote the Civil War: Young Avengers & Runaways tie-in. His collaboration with the late Seth Fisher on Fantastic Four/Iron Man: Big in Japan produced one of the 21st century’s most charming comics. Wells’ other credits include Daredevil: Battlin’ Jack Murdock, Venom: Dark Origin, Dark Reign: Elektra and Spider-Man/Doctor Octopus: Year One. He also contributed to the thrice-monthly “Brand New Day” era of Amazing Spider-Man, most notably with the “Shed” storyline; wrote two Carnage limited series; and helped relaunch New Mutants. Wells has returned to the world of the wall-crawler, teaming with the legendary John Romita Jr. for a new volume of Amazing Spider-Man.
