Now, the mysterious Ezekiel offers Peter a shockingly different explanation. But the wall-crawler won't have much time to ponder the question of his origins, as his existence has drawn the attention of Shathra, an otherworldly being with the power of a killer wasp. Shathra sees Spider-Man as her prey, and she'll do anything to snare the web-slinger in her deadly trap. - Years ago, a savage mob hit wiped out the leaders of six organized-crime families.

But what happens to the families of these thugs after they're put away? - Spider-Man has proven he can defeat criminals such as the Green Goblin and the Sandman, but what happens when a horde of otherworldly monsters is too much to handle?
