Issue Description

Greg Land and Hawkeye drop in on the biggest new title of the year! Two stars of next summer’s biggest films, together!

Summary

After meeting up in Central Park, Spider-Man and Hawkeye begin to patrol around New York, looking for criminals. They begin by finding a group of snake themed thugs breaking into a chemical supplies warehouse. Hawkeye quickly knocks them out using electric arrows and Spider-Man has to wait for the thugs to wake up before interrogating them as to what they were doing.

When they intercept a vehicle driven by more snake themed thugs, Hawkeye shoots arrows into the vehicle’s tyres, causing it to crash. Spider-Man has to wait for the thug to wake up again to interrogate him as well.

Using information from the thugs, Spider-Man and Hawkeye discover and imminent gas attack planned by the Serpent Society. They travel to Grand Central Station where Spider-Man watches the surrounding area to try and find the Serpent Society. While the two Avengers talk, they are ambushed by multiple Serpent Society thugs.

While Hawkeye fights the thugs, Spider-Man swings towards Sidewinder. In an attempt to defeat Sidewinder himself, Hawkeye shoots an arrow seven hundred yards but just falls short. Realizing that this could severely harm Hawkeye’s morale, Spider-Man picks up the arrow and hits Sidewinder with it. When Hawkeye arrives at the scene he begins to boast and mock Spider-Man, irritating him as well.

Volume Description

This series launched with the return of legendary artist Joe Madureira (X-Men, Battle Chasers) and fan-favorite Spider-Man writer Zeb Wells in a brand new monthly Spider-series that teams the wall-crawler up with some of the greatest heroes in the Marvel Universe.

However Joe Madureira left the book after 3 issues and a rotating cast of artists illustrated each issue since, including Greg Land, Leinil Yu, Stuart Immonen and Marco Checchetto. Zeb Wells also left the series, this time after 6 issues, and again a rotating cast of writers were employed including Mark Waid and regular Amazing Spider-Man writer Dan Slott.

Issues #9 & #10 saw Kelly Sue DeConnick and Terry Dodson take over writing and art duties respectively. Both issues featured Carol Danvers and acted as the prologue to DeConnick's new Captain Marvel series.

Zeb Wells returned to write issue #11 which was a special 50th Anniversary issue. Following this the writer and artist rotations resumed with Kevin Shinick and Aaron Kuder writing and illustrating issues #12 & #13 and Cullen Bunn and Gabriele Dell'Otto taking over for issue #14 & #15.

Issue 15.1, which directly follows the hugely popular and controversial Amazing Spider-Man #700, saw the new regular writer and artist team of Christopher Yost and Paco Medina take over the series. From this issue onward, Avenging Spider-Man follows the adventures of the new Superior Spider-Man. Issue #16 also sees the series adopt the red Marvel NOW! banner.

The series was rebooted as Superior Spider-Man Team-Up after Doctor Octopus became the Superior Spider-Man.
