Rate this book
Two all-time Spidey greats collaborate on a thrilling era for the webbed wonder! When Peter Parker encounters his old foe Vermin again, it brings back haunting memories of one of the darkest chapters of his life! But his old friend Harry Osborn is similarly haunted—only he channels it into terrorizing Spider-Man as the Green Goblin!

Brace yourself for a psychological showdown between two arch-foes! And the threats don't end there! The Vulture is dying, but he's determined to go out in style! The Rhino's on a rampage, the Puma s on the prowl, and Professor Power is prepared to go toe to toe with Spidey and the X-Men! 'Maximum Carnage' unleashes symbiotic chaos, and the whispering menace Tombstone is back - more lethal than ever! Plus: The web-slinger battles the Shroud, the Foreigner, Typhoid Mary, the Scorpion and more!

It's spectacular!

This book is absolutely insane right down to Aunt May with a load gun pointed right at the Vulture in the the Parker home. You will see Androids,clones,mutates and witness one of the most epic show downs of the green goblin vs spider-man and that's just for starters! Highly recommend to any Spider-Man fan.
