SPIDER-MAN

Wilson Fisk--the so-called Kingpin of Crime--has returned to New York, establishing himself publicly as an altruistic entrepreneur and philanthropist. Spider-Man knows better, but he can't uncover Fisk's scheme that, if executed, will make the crime lord "too big to fail."

When a new threat--a deadly doppelganger with Spider-Man's suit and abilities--wreaks havoc in the streets, can the real wall-crawler prove his innocence? With the clock ticking and lives on the line, can Spider-Man stop the brutal rampage of the Blood Spider? Will Spider-Man fall to his fears and foes, or will he rise and be greater?

Ratings and reviews

Good story, but the writing was just so-so. The ending leaves you hanging, but also raises excitement for the video game. 9nly 11 days left!

Got this book over the weekend, was interested in getting some extra backstory before the ps4 game comes out next week! Loved the writing style and character details. The spiderman humor was great too! If your excited for the game, this book is a must!

If you are planning on playing the new Spider-Man game for PS4, I highly recommend this book. Not only does it give good context to the characters and story of the new game, but it is actually a really good read as well. I cried, I laughed, and I am more excited than ever to finally dip my hands into the new Spider-Man adventure.
