SPIDER-MAN TAKES ON THE SINISTER SYNDICATE AND WAGES A GANG WAR!

The fan-favorite Tom DeFalco & Ron Frenz run concludes!

Spider-Man will need some amazing friends to survive the stories in his latest Marvel Masterworks! A bigger, badder super-villain mercenary team—the Sinister Syndicate—has formed and it’s an action extravaganza as Spidey fights five of his greatest enemies all at once. Then, the era-defining saga of the Hobgoblin continues with Flash Thompson on the run and an enigmatic figure lurking in the shadows who offers clues to the burning mystery of who really is the Hobgoblin. Next, a war for control of New York City’s underworld erupts into the streets. Spidey is joined by Silver Sable, Daredevil, Black, Cat, Falcon and the Punisher to combat the chaos and the identity of the Rose is revealed. Also featuring an early appearance of X-Factor and the future-Iron Man of 2020!

THE KINGPIN MAKES HIS MOVE IN SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN VOL. 8!

Kingpin’s hitmen are closing in, your girlfriend—who doesn’t even want to know the real you—broke up with you, and your new alien costume wants to kill you. What’s that, you say? Yup, it’s just another day for Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man! Writer/artist Al Milgrom spins a series of wonderful web-slinging adventures in the run up to Spectacular Spider-Man #100. He introduces new villains in the Lee/Ditko mold like the Answer and the Spot and (literally) resurrects classic characters like Silvermane as a killer cyborg! The Kingpin’s the man pulling the strings throughout. Will his leverage on the Black Cat mean Spidey won’t see issue #101? Also featuring an Annual exploring Aunt May’s younger days and the rare Spider-Man installment of Questprobe. Co-starring Cloak & Dagger!

CLOAK, DAGGER AND BLACK CAT JOIN IN A SEVENTH SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN MASTERWORKS!

Spider-Man’s adventures have been larger than life, but they spring from the rotten roots of street crime with Uncle Ben’s murder by a petty burglar. That gritty side of the criminal world takes the fore as the Kingpin tightens his grip on New York City. Spidey’s not just faced with fighting villains. Cloak and Dagger complicate matters and the Punisher has his own form of justice in mind. Meanwhile, Mantlo and Milgrom explore the man ink on his fingers and a story in this blood, J. Jonah Jameson, and reveal the origins of the Hobgoblin. Speaking of revelations, Peter Parker reveals that he is Spider-Man to the Black Cat—with unexpected results! Also featuring Black Cat’s search for superpowers, Spidey’s black costume and Fred Hembeck!

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OWL/OCTOPUS WAR!

The Spectacular Spider-Man hits high gear! Bill Mantlo crafted a compelling, interwoven series of adventures in his second tenure on Spectacular. Pairing Spidey with the Black Cat as partner and love interest, Mantlo fused the crime drama of the Kingpin with larger-than-life villains like Doctor Octopus. The formula made Spectacular a page-turner powerhouse. It begins with the Kingpin hiring Boomerang, the killer that keeps coming back. Meanwhile, Cloak and Dagger wage war on drugs as the gangster Silvermane clings onto life in a new cyborg body. Then, when Doctor Octopus and the Owl vie to take over New York’s criminal underworld, total war breaks out in the city! Come see why “The Owl/Octopus War” is a saga that ranks among Spider-Man’s greatest.
