Amazing Spider‑Man/Venom: Death Spiral #1 hits the streets — a super‑charged murderer stalks the duo

Marvel launches a fresh Spider‑Man/Venom crossover that pits the web‑slinger and his symbiotic counterpart against a new, super‑powered serial killer. Writer Charles Soule and artist Jesus Saiz set the tone for a story that will run through April, and a hidden Carnage revelation promises to upend everything.

The first issue of Amazing Spider‑Man/Venom: Death Spiral opens a multi‑month event that pairs two of Marvel’s most iconic anti‑heroes against a threat that operates on a murderous level. It’s the kind of crossover that feels inevitable but still catches you off guard, and it launches on February 25, 2026.

A mysterious killer, armed with powers that rival both Spider‑Man’s agility and Venom’s brutality, begins targeting anyone in their orbit. As the body count rises, Carnage surfaces with a secret that could change the balance of power for Spider‑Man. The premise blends classic web‑slinging action with a tightly wound thriller vibe.

Charles Soule brings his knack for layered storytelling, having redefined Spider‑Man’s darker corners before, while Jesus Saiz delivers kinetic, high‑contrast art that captures the chaos of a city under siege. Ed McGuinness’ cover promises a visual hook that matches the story’s intensity. If you appreciate a well‑crafted villain and striking artwork, this issue is a solid entry point. Swing by the shop or order online—this is one you’ll want to keep close.
