Dark Web turns Spider-Man and the X-Men into one shared nightmare of clones, demons, old grudges and bad history coming alive. Ben Reilly, Madelyne Pryor and the Goblin Queen energy drag Peter Parker and mutantkind into a crossover that feels messy by design: personal resentment dressed up as supernatural chaos. This omnibus is for readers who enjoy modern Marvel events when the emotional damage is as loud as the monsters.

Two of the best modern Spider-Man stories by Chip Zdarsky in a single omnibus. His Spectacular Spider-Man run brings back the classic street-level Peter Parker energy with a humanist approach to characters. Life Story is genuinely revolutionary: Peter Parker ages in real time from the 1960s to the present day, with each decade reimagining key Marvel events through the lens of an ageing hero.
