About the series
In this 2014-2015 Marvel series, writers James Asmus and Nick Spencer team with artists Steve Lieber and Pepe Larraz to shift the spotlight from the wall-crawler to his rogues' gallery. Centered on the self-serving schemes of Boomerang, Beetle, and fellow low-rent villains like Herman Schultz and James Sanders, the three-issue run offers a darkly comedic, street-level look at the petty rivalries and desperate ambitions that drive Spider-Man's less glamorous foes. It matters as a clever, character-driven inversion of the superhero genre, proving that even the B-list can steal the show.
