The story does a beautiful job of setting up how dark and dangerous Tombstone is as well as how dark he is willing to go.


The tension is palpable on every page and I love the unpredictability of the plot and how its characters move within it. The Story: Wells crafts a quiet, dark and intense story in this issue. At the same time, Tombstone reveals his plan, the death it will cause and how there is nothing Spider-Man can do to stop it. While Robbie Robertson finds himself in the hands of White Rabbit, his son has a life changing conversation with the daughter of Tombstone. Captured by Tombstone, a bloody and bound Spider-Man is awakened beneath the city where the criminal gives him a short history of his life and the lessons he learned in his rise to power. As Peter Parker’s personal life continues to take a dark and depressing turn, his life as Spider-Man is about to get darker.
