Luis Mercado recommends Spider-Woman #1
As part of the tie-ins of the Spider-Verse we get this Spider-Woman story. It begins with (spoiler!), Jessica Drew and Cindy Moon (Spider-Woman & Silk respectively) as well as Prohibition Spider-Man from Earth-90214 wandering somewhere in New York (If you have no idea who Cindy Moon is, I recommend The Amazing Spider-Man #1) when they are found by the twins, members of “The Inheritors”.
In case you haven’t been following the Spider-books recently, the villains, Morlun’s family (from the classic run of Amazing Spider-Man), the Inheritors, have been traveling through the multiverse hunting down “Spider-totems”, to then kill and eat them. A war follows so that Peter Parker can help them all (Amazing Spider-Man #9 anyone?).
Peter has already faced Morlun and hurt him badly. As a result, his family (the inheritors) have stayed away from the “main thread” (see what I did there?) of the Spider-Man Marvel Universe. Now they’ve decided it’s time to change that. This results in the biggest Spider-War ever!
If you still don’t feel compelled by this book. You should believe me when I say, it’s worth reading if only for the tie-in with the rest of the Spider-Verse, but in all honesty, it seems like Spider-Gwen (yes, that’s a thing now) and the rest of the Spider-Women are up for some very interesting arcs!
