Issue Description

Fear Itself tie-in! Spider-Man is rocked by the event of the year. Manhattan is gripped in violent panic. Peter Parker has not slept in days. Abandoning his friends and family, Spider-Man cannot...WILL not... stop if there are people to be saved. But as the opening salvos of Fear Itself take their violent toll, will Spidey have what it takes to fight his own doubts? Find out here!

Plus, Red Hulk is dead! Only Spider-Man stands in the way of the subterranean invasion of Manhattan.

Also, with great power, there must also come great responsibility — and when those in power abuse it, it’s the people’s responsibility to remove them. The year is 1933, and New York City is not-so-secretly run by corrupt politicians, crooked cops, big businesses…and suave gangland bosses like New York’s worst, the Goblin. But when a fateful spider-bite gives the young rabble-rouser Peter Parker the power to fight the mobster who killed his Uncle Ben, will even that be enough? It’s a tangled web of Great Depression pulp, with familiar faces like you’ve never seen them before.

Includes material reprinted from Fear Itself: Spider-Man #1, Avenging Spider-Man #3 and Spider-Man Noir #1.
