Marvel’s Spider-Man: City at War #1 looks to follow the plot of the game, taking place eight years after Spider-Man gains his powers. It centers on Peter Parker putting the crime kingpin Wilson Fisk in prison and dealing with the repercussions of this action, like Mister Negative rising to fill that vacuum of power.City at War will also include new story moments not seen in the game, as well as bonus behind-the-scenes content. It will be the first of six issues, and the first in a series of new stories from what Marvel is calling its “Gamerverse."“While creating the game, the writing team’s goal was to pay homage to Spider-Man’s rich history while also shaking things up to keep players on the edge of their seats,” said Bill Rosemann, executive creative director of Marvel Games. “Now we’re thrilled to see our game’s original story swing full circle and come to life in the pages of this all-new comic book series in the Mighty Marvel Manner!”City at War is written by Dennis Hopeless (Jean Grey, Amazing Spider-Man), with art by Michelle Bandini (X-Men: Gold, What If? Thor), cover by Clayton Crain (Ghost Rider, X-Force) and variant covers by David Nakayama, Gerardo Sandoval and Adi Granov.For more on Marvel’s Spider-Man for PS4, check out our review of the Turf Wars DLC, and read about the third Spider-Man DLC , Silver Linings, which will be released on December 21.
