Part 3.1: Back to Basics
With Parker Industries no more and Mary Jane back in the picture, Spider-Man is getting back to the basics and tackling some of his oldest foes. But a new, more dangerous threat looms around the edges of Peter’s universe. And, before diving into Venom’s current adventures, we look back on the time when Peter himself was bonded with the symbiote.

Before Spider-Geddon begins, take a tour of the multiverse to meet a new cast of characters who have taken up the mantle of Spider-Man, least of which is the Peter Parker of Earth-1048, the reality first introduced in the PlayStation 4 game Marvel’s Spider-Man. If you haven’t played the game, don’t worry—the City at War series retells the story and is further expanded upon in Velocity.

Part 3.4: Spider-Geddon
In the long awaited followup to 2014’s Spider-Verse, all is not well along the Web of Life and Destiny. While the threat of the Inheritors was thought to be no more, an oversight by Otto Octavius leads to the reemergence of Morlun and his totem-hunting family. In order to save themselves—and possibly the multiverse itself—the Spider-Army must once again unite to battle the greatest threat they’ve ever faced.

Part 3.5: Spider-Geddon Aftermath
Spider-Geddon may be over, but that doesn’t mean that everyone involved can just move on with their lives so easily. The Inheritors left a trail of death behind in their defeat, but perhaps an even more sinister threat was responsible for the destruction of the Web of Life and Destiny. With no reliable way to travel between realities, Ghost Spider, Superior Spider-Man, Peter Parker of Earth-1048, and the others must go their separate ways to deal with problems back home.
