Description

Now in possession of the Tablet of Death and Entropy and holding Kindred imprisoned, Fisk hires Mister Negative and other New York crime lords in a bounty hunt for Spider-Man and Boomerang for their possession of the Tablet's sister half. In doing so, Fisk will have the power to perform a one time flawless resurrection for his wife Vanessa, who's soul is in Kindred's demonic possession, and free her from his damnable clutches.

Meanwhile, Peter Parker gets a new job which also allows him to get a new suit fit for dealing with Fisk's sanctioned gang war. Peter must adapt quickly as Spider-Man to stop whatever plans Fisk has rolling, not just to save New York, but for something more personal.
