Essential Marvel Team-Up #2

In "For a Few Fists More," a man whose body is aging in reverse manipulates Iron Fist and Spider-Man into battling one another, hoping to siphon their energy to halt his unraveling. As the heroes confront his twisted scheme, their victory unexpectedly accelerates his decline—leaving behind only the fading echo of a man desperate to hold on to time.

In "Snow Death!", Man-Wolf breaks free from Baron Shtupf’s icy castle, dragging Agent Klemmer with him in a desperate bid for survival. Now, with the Baron’s monstrous experiments in full swing, Spider-Man and Frankenstein must race through the frozen halls to save Klemmer—before the snow-bound castle claims them all.

In "This City— Afire!", the Thing fights Basilisk in the Savage Land before the villain hurls them both into the heart of New York City. Spidey returns from a time-jump to find the city under siege, with a volcano erupting in the Hudson River, and must race to stop Basilisk before he finishes what he started.

In "The Mystery of the Wraith!", Spider-Man teams up with Dr. Strange to unravel the strange circumstances surrounding Brian DeWolff’s death—only to discover that Phillip has been using mind control to manipulate Brian, turning him into the mysterious Wraith. The investigation dives into the hidden forces at play, as the line between victim and villain blurs.
