Three years after the devastating aftermath of Secret Wars, New York has morphed into a dark and hopeless metropolis under the iron fist of Kingpin (Wilson Fisk). More exhausted than ever, Peter Parker (Spider-Man) and Matt Murdock (Daredevil) wage a relentless guerrilla war against Fisk's empire on the city's streets. To crush this resistance forever, Kingpin forms a diabolical alliance with the assassin Arcade and the dark sorceress Nicola Zosimos (Hexfinder). In this plot centered entirely around symbiotes, Arcade combines Hexfinder's dark magic with corrupted symbiotic materials to transform the entirety of New York into a massive, living "Murderworld." As subway stations and skyscrapers turn into deadly traps, Kingpin's brainwashed operative Agent-Venom (Flash Thompson) and the ruthless Lee Price begin to hunt within this unleashed symbiotic nightmare. Their prime targets are Peter's greatest pillar of support, MJ (Michelle Jones), and Eddie Brock's young son trying to survive, Teen-Venom (Dylan Brock); our heroes engage in a deadly street-by-street game of cat-and-mouse to protect them. In the breathtaking climax of the story, this war on the streets is brought to the technological and magical core Arcade has hidden beneath Central Park. As Wanda Maximoff (Scarlet Witch) descends in her astral form to break the mind-bending magical rituals enveloping the city, Daredevil and Spider-Man clash hand-to-hand with Arcade's deadly traps below. However, the shattering of the magical core tears an interdimensional rift, revealing a terrifying truth: the massive surge of symbiotic energy has drawn the attention of Knull, the God of the Symbiotes. The sky suddenly bleeds crimson as Knull's colossal Grendel Symbiote Dragons and bloodthirsty armies of Xenophages begin raining down onto New York through the rift. Diving into the chaos with pure rage to save his son and prevent this cosmic horror from consuming the city, Eddie Brock (Venom) undergoes a much darker, permanent bonding with his symbiote, plunging into the core to seal the gateway and fading into the darkness. Following this epic struggle, Wanda silently vanishes and Fisk retreats underground; but for Peter Parker, left alone in the fractured city, this is only the beginning, as the looming shadow of Knull's inevitable, universe-consuming invasion sets the stage for their next dark adventure.
