New Releases by Tom DeFalco

RITORNO A BATTLEWORLD! Durante le prime “guerre segrete” e poco dopo aver ottenuto il suo costume simbiontico, Spider-Man era andato a cercare uno snack. Questa è la storia mai raccontata di cosa gli accadde realmente! Una misteriosa forza lo ha infatti trasportato in nuovi mondi pericolosi e lo ha messo contro delle nostre vecchie conoscenze. Alle prese con l’Uomo Assorbente, Hobgoblin ed Electro, Spidey potrà fare affidamento sull’improvvisa apparizione di alleati come la Torcia Umana, Falcon e Daredevil... almeno fino all’arrivo di Zemo! Ma chi sta architettando queste nuove, impreviste battaglie e a quale scopo? A quarant’anni esatti dalla maxiserie Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars, Tom DeFalco e Pat Olliffe ci riportano sull’enigmatico Battleworld con un’avventura inedita e inattesa che potrebbe essere il prologo a nuove avventure e nuove minacce!
