TORMENT ADDS ANOTHER VICTIM TO HIS DEATH TALLY IN THE FINAL ISSUES OF AMAZING SPIDER-MAN/VENOM: DEATH SPIRAL!

This April, DEATH SPIRAL, the upcoming Spider-Man/Venom/Carnage crossover from Joe Kelly, Al Ewing, Charles Soule, Ed McGuinness, Jesús Saíz, and Carlos Gómez, continues in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #26 and VENOM #256-257 and concludes in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #27.

Before reaching the legendary milestone AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1000 later this year, Peter Parker and the entire Spider-family will be put through the ringer in DEATH SPIRAL, a new crossover kicking off next month. The saga begins in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN/VENOM: DEATH SPIRAL #1, a special one-shot in February, and continues in issues of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN and VENOM through April. Today, fans can learn about the final four DEATH SPIRAL chapters, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #26-27 and VENOM #256-257.

In DEATH SPIRAL, Amazing Spider-Man scribe Joe Kelly teams up with current symbiote storytellers Al Ewing (Venom) and Charles Soule (Eddie Brock: Carnage) to deliver a gut-wrenching super hero drama alongside a trio of all-star artists—Ed McGuinness, Carlos Gómez, and Jesús Saíz.

SPIDER-MAN has returned to Earth just in time to face CARNAGE, who’s discovered Spider-Man’s secret identity in the mind of his newest host, EDDIE BROCK! When Spider-Man and Venom team up against the killer symbiote, another shocking secret is revealed as PETER PARKER discovers that MARY JANE is the ALL-NEW VENOM! It’s a collision course of danger that explodes when Peter, Mary Jane, and Eddie find themselves in the crosshairs of TORMENT, a new serial killer supervillain with a mysterious—and deeply personal—connection to Spider-Man. No one is safe as Spider-Man, Venom and Carnage join forces to figure out who TORMENT is and stop their loved ones from getting caught in his web of death!

Read on to learn more about the event’s final chapters—but brace yourself, for not everyone will survive Torment’s killing spree!
