One year after the bloody war against Carnage, Peter Parker has evolved. Now an Avenger, Spider-Man has seen more of the world — gods, monsters, and threats beyond imagination — but nothing prepares him for what’s coming home. In New York City, a familiar storm brews when Doctor Otto Octavius escapes custody with six of Spider-Man’s most dangerous enemies and turns into one terrifying force: The Sinister Seven. Consisting of Octavius, Electro, Kraven the Hunter, Mysterio, Green Goblin, Sandman, and Vulture, the group sets out to annihilate Spider-Man once and for all, tearing through the city and everyone he loves. As chaos consumes New York, Peter’s secret life begins to unravel, threatening his fragile bond with Mary Jane Watson, one of the few bright lights left in his darkened world. Wounded, hunted, and outnumbered, Spider-Man faces his greatest test — not just of strength, but of soul. Each villain represents a piece of his past, each battle a scar reopened. The Avengers are off-world, leaving Peter alone to face the collective wrath of those he’s defeated. In this violent, R-rated climax to his saga, Spider-Man must become more than a hero — he must become a survivor. With New York burning and his own life hanging by a thread, Peter must decide if saving the city is worth sacrificing what’s left of himself. Spider-Man: End of the Web is a brutal, emotional finale — the story of a man who’s lost everything but still refuses to stop fighting.
