College. Rent. The Daily Bugle. And every night, the mask. He's been Spider-Man long enough to know what it costs — and lately, the bill keeps getting higher. When a mysterious new villain begins terrorizing New York from the shadows, Peter finds himself chasing a ghost. The Hobgoblin leaves no trail, no face, no name. Just chaos, fear, and a city slowly tearing itself apart. But the deeper Peter digs, the closer the danger gets — until it touches someone he can't afford to lose. Somewhere in Manhattan, a man in a perfect suit watches it all unfold. He built this web. Every thread leads back to him. And nobody — not Spider-Man, not the NYPD, not the Daily Bugle — even knows he exists. Spider-Man: Web of the City is a story about a hero stretched to his limit, a villain who never loses, and the city that holds them both — tangled, humming, alive. Some webs are meant to catch you. Some are meant to let you go.
