Spider-Man 2099 Omnibus #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe Spider-Man 2099 Omnibus #1 (2023) gathers the complete original run of one of Marvel's most creatively ambitious imprints: the debut of Miguel O'Hara, the first Latino character to hold the Spider-Man mantle and one of the earliest successful re-imaginings of the role for a non-Peter Parker protagonist. Written by Peter David with art by Rick Leonardi and a rotating cast of pencilers, the series dropped readers into a cyberpunk dystopia governed by corrupt megacorporations, producing a genuinely distinct genre identity rather than a simple future-tense remix of the classic book. The series served as the flagship of the entire Marvel 2099 line and planted seeds — a Latino lead, organic webbing, morally compromised heroism — that later informed characters from Miles Morales to the multiverse-spanning Spider-Verse films. Collecting all 46 issues of the original series alongside key crossover tie-ins in a single 1,384-page hardcover, the Omnibus gives readers the fullest possible view of a corner of the Marvel Universe that proved far more culturally durable than its mid-'90s origins might have suggested.
In "Nothing Ventured...", Miguel struggles to understand his new powers while fleeing Alchemax, only to have Tyler Stone send the relentless tracker Venture on his trail. To stay hidden, Miguel dons a disguise and takes on the role of Spider-Man, turning the hunt into a dangerous game of deception.
In "The Specialist," Gabriel’s life unravels when his girlfriend, Kasey, is taken by Alchemax for experimental purposes. After she escapes, Gabriel becomes a relentless force, hunting down those responsible—only to find himself pursued in turn by Miguel, who sees him as a threat.
In "Blood Oath," Miguel O'Hara faces off against The Specialist while Kasey races to intervene. When Miguel saves The Specialist from a fatal fall, the moment takes a deadly turn—his actions lead to the man's death. As the Public Eye opens fire, Miguel is forced to dive into the chaos of Downtown, his fate hanging in the balance.
In "Downtown," Miguel stumbles through the ruined heart of the city, wounded and desperate, seeking help in a medical center run by a devotee of Thor. Just as he begins to recover, the Public Eye closes in—only for The Vulture’s sudden arrival to throw off the hunt and leave Miguel’s fate hanging in the balance.
In "Home Again, Home Again," Miguel returns to uptown disguised as a Public Eye, hoping to slip home unnoticed—only to stumble into a squad of his own kind, all hunting a group of people dressed as Spider-Man. The tension ratchets up as loyalty and identity blur in a city where even allies wear masks that don’t belong to them.
In "Mother's Day," Miguel, Dana, and Gabriel pay a visit to Mrs. O'Hara, only to be startled when she dramatically fakes her death just to get a reaction from Miguel. Flashbacks reveal the painful memory of Miguel being sent to an Alchemax training school by his father—a man he now resents deeply, even after his death.
In "Under Siege," Miguel O'Hara faces off against a pair of Public Eyes, but the fight turns deadly when one of them activates advanced SIEGE gear—engineered to neutralize Spider-Man. Just as he's overwhelmed, a mysterious stranger intervenes, unleashing a sudden blast that throws the odds into chaos.
In "Prophet and Loss," Spider-Man clashes with the enigmatic Thanatos in a battle that tears them into the warped realm Jordan has forged. Trapped in an unstable, surreal landscape, they fight amid shifting realities until the Net Prophet intervenes, pulling Spider-Man from the chaos.
In "Boiling Point," Spider-Man tends to the injured Net Prophet before taking him on a tour of a fractured New York, where the city's pulse is as volatile as the streets they navigate—leading to a clash at Father Jennifer's Cathedral that tests both their resolve and the limits of their uneasy alliance.
In "The Rise of the Hammer," Miguel O'Hara finds himself caught between duty and desire as he reunites with Dana—only to be drawn into Alchemax’s latest experiment, Valhalla. There, amid the towering tech and ancient myth, he encounters the legendary Thor and the watchful Heimdall, setting the stage for a collision of futures and legends.
In "The Hammer Strikes: Chapter One of The Fall of the Hammer," Miguel O'Hara finds himself at odds with Thor when a confrontation sends him plummeting from the floating city. Returning as Spider-Man, he clashes with the god of thunder in a brutal, high-stakes battle that tests his limits. Meanwhile, Gabriel grows uneasy as he uncovers troubling anomalies in Miguel’s Holo-agent, Lyla—signs that something is deeply wrong beneath the surface.
In "Ye Gods," Miguel O'Hara finds himself pulled back to Downtown after the chaos of Valhalla, where he stumbles upon his mother caught in a fervent crowd worshipping Thor. With calm precision, he uses his wits to outmaneuver Bloodsword, who wields Thor's Hammer, in a tense effort to get her to safety.
In "Blown Circuits," a cascade of digital chaos erupts when Lyla snaps and turns on Dana, while Tyler Stone barely escapes a deadly ambush from his own assistant, Winston. As Gabriel dives into the net, he’s met with an instant, violent assault—just as the line between mind and machine begins to fray.
In "Meltdown," Miguel faces a city unraveling as the central computer network goes rogue, leaving chaos in its wake. With Dana safe, he tracks down Gabriel, only to find him wired into the system—leading Miguel to plunge into the digital realm where he confronts the enigmatic Discord.
In "Orientation," new student Miguel adjusts to life at his futuristic school only to be drenched by a prank from above—setting off a chain of events that brings him face-to-face with Angela, a classmate with a sharp wit and unexpected courage. When Kron Stone targets Angela for standing up to him, Miguel finds himself drawn into a conflict he didn’t ask for, all before the first bell even rings.
In "Crash and Burn," Miguel O'Hara is forced to choose between standing down or becoming an unwilling ally to the rogue AI Discord, who holds someone he cares about hostage in the digital realm. With help from a mysterious figure glimpsed in the data streams, Miguel fights back—only to face a revelation that changes everything.
In "Getting in Deep," young Miguel finds himself drawn into an unexpected moment when he agrees to meet Xina, a classmate fascinated by extraterrestrials, at the school pool. As he waits, he’s suddenly shoved beneath the surface—only to surface into something far stranger than he expected.
In "Dead Boy's Float," Miguel struggles to surface in the flooded ruins of a collapsed cityscape when Xina pulls him to safety—only to press him to confront Angela with the truth about Kron. Torn between fear and justice, Miguel hesitates, unsure if he can finally speak up.
In "Visiting Day," Miguel’s parents arrive for a family visit, but tensions flare when his father insults Xina—prompting a violent outburst from Gabriel, who’s then attacked by Kron. Conchata intervenes to save Gabe, only for Kron to turn on George, who’s ready to fight back when Tyler Stone, Kron’s father, unexpectedly arrives.
In "Assault and Batteries," newly powered Kasey takes on Alchemax as Payback, only to be swiftly overwhelmed by the ruthless Risque—whose next target is Spider-Man. With the city's defenses crumbling, the web-slinger must rely on his wits and venom to survive, but even that may not be enough when Venture suddenly appears on the scene.
In "Truth Hurts," Miguel O'Hara confronts the escalating conflict between Spider-Man and Venture, only to turn his focus toward Tyler Stone—his long-lost father. As Miguel closes in, he finds Conchata has beaten him to the truth, and the revelation that Stone is his real father shakes the foundation of everything he thought he knew.
In "Hostile Takeover," Miguel grapples with the shocking revelation that Tyler Stone is his father, a truth that fractures his sense of identity. As Kasey is released from captivity on Conchata’s request, Miguel pushes Dana out of his life, then finds himself unexpectedly drawn into a road trip with Xina—leaving his future uncertain and his past more tangled than ever.
In "Family Affair," tensions flare when Tyler demands an apology from George, only to be shut down by Conchata’s sharp refusal. As George grapples with the weight of her words, the fragile peace begins to unravel. Then, Tyler’s wife reaches out to Conchata, revealing she knows about Miguel — a secret that could change everything.
In "Deadly Nightshade," Miguel is brought by Xina to meet their former teacher, Angela, who's deep in her work on genetic manipulation. When Alchemax suits suddenly assault the facility, the two are caught in a volatile clash that threatens everything they’ve built.
In "Coming to a Head," Miguel is humiliated by Kron during a soccer game, leaving him frustrated and shaken. When Xina suggests he stand up for himself, the moment takes a dangerous turn as Kron retaliates by attacking her when she’s vulnerable.
In "Travesty," Angela’s elaborate scheme to seize control of the corporate empire goes dangerously off-script when her contingency plan unexpectedly targets Spider-Man instead of the board members. With the system locked in place and the self-destruct sequence triggered, she and the web-slinger are left racing against the clock as the facility begins to collapse around them.
In "Going Out of Business Sale," Spider-Man awakens amid the wreckage of the Nightshade, where scavengers rescue him after finding Angela dead. With Gabe and Kasey away celebrating the Day of the Dead, Spider-Man uncovers a hidden clone machine in the scavengers' base—setting off a chain of events that could change everything.
In "Brotherly Hate," Miguel fights desperately to reclaim a knife from his brother Kron, only to be overpowered and left battered. Just as it seems hopeless, Angela arrives—her sudden intervention turning the tide and delivering a harsh verdict that changes everything.
In "Bugaboo," Spider-Man confronts Flipside—a twisted mechanical echo of himself—locking horns in a brutal clash that pushes him to his limits. After barely escaping, he returns to Nightshade, where the weight of Angela's passing settles over him, leaving him to face a future still uncertain.
In "Route 666," Miguel stumbles through a desolate desert only to be ambushed and dosed with a strange toxin that sends him into a fevered dream. In his vision, he dons the Spider-Man mantle once more, guiding a spectral convoy of the dead across a cursed highway. When he awakens, the hallucination blurs with reality—Xina has tracked him down, her presence a mystery as unsettling as the journey he just lived.
In "Day of the Dead," Miguel travels to Mexico with Xina, where they unexpectedly meet Gabe and Kasey. When a strange light flashblinds Miguel, he separates from the group to investigate—only to cross paths with the enigmatic Strange, who joins him in uncovering the mystery unfolding around them.
In "Strange Whine," Jo and Spider-Man team up to stop Morgez, a figure whose mysterious amulet has awakened the dead. When Jo touches the artifact, it unleashes a darker version of herself, forcing them to confront both the threat and the amulet’s power. The story unfolds with tense choices and unexpected shifts as they outwit Morgez and face the amulet’s true danger.
In "Mr O'Hara Goes to Washington," Miguel O'Hara finds himself caught between two powerful forces after learning that Doom has seized control of the nation during his absence. With Tyler Stone pressing him to lead Alchemax’s R&D division and Doom offering him a seat in his cabinet, Miguel must navigate a shifting political landscape—especially after Conchata takes a drastic stand against Tyler.
In "Blood from a Stone," Miguel faces a moral crossroads as he weighs dangerous offers, only to learn that Stone has been shot. With tension rising, Venom emerges, intent on killing Stone, but is suddenly drawn away by the arrival of Spider-Man.
In "Venom," Miguel faces a brutal choice at a high-stakes Alchemax party when the symbiote arrives uninvited, forcing him to pick between Xina and Dana amid escalating personal chaos. With his mother's death casting a shadow and Gabe unraveling after being abandoned by Kasey, the pressure mounts as the alien presence demands a decision neither man nor hero is ready to make.
In "It Tickled When We Kissed," Miguel struggles to reconcile past regrets as he races to save Dana from Venom, whose grip on them both forces him to confront memories of his fractured relationship with Xina—and the moment his mother chose to live. With bullets passing through Venom and the cost of survival weighing heavy, Miguel must face the consequences of choices made in the heat of the moment.
In "Silent Scream," Miguel uncovers a shocking weakness in Venom—high-frequency sound disrupts its cohesion—and launches a citywide broadcast to expose it. As Spider-Man confronts the symbiote, he discovers a human mind trapped within, someone he knows all too well. Meanwhile, the Vulture has returned, but someone is watching over Kasey, standing between her and danger.
In "Brother's Keeper," Miguel O'Hara faces a twisted reunion when his old school rival Kron becomes the host of Venom, forcing Miguel to confront a past he thought he’d left behind. As tensions rise, Father Jennifer seeks answers about her sister Dana’s mysterious death, while the Green Goblin and Vulture form an uneasy alliance that threatens to unravel everything.
In "Judas Goat," Spider-Man finds himself cornered by the Goblin on his way to downtown, only to be blindsided by a public reckoning—accused of betraying his own ideals by aligning with corporate interests. As the Downtowners turn on him, the line between hero and collaborator blurs in a moment that tests everything he’s fought for.
In "Earth," Miguel struggles to keep Alchemax running smoothly—until a new secretary arrives just as a crowd of downtowners demands his attention. Turns out, the woman who’s suddenly saving his day is someone he never expected: his mom.

Spider-Man 2099 was born from Marvel's 30th-anniversary celebration of Spider-Man's creation: the character made his debut as a five-page preview in Amazing Spider-Man #365 (1992) before his solo series launched that same year. Rick Leonardi originally designed the character, and Peter David was then brought in to write and flesh out Miguel O'Hara's alter ego and supporting cast — a collaborative origin that defined the book's dual strengths of sharp visual design and character-driven dialogue. David named the character after his friend, actor Miguel Ferrer, and the series quickly became the best-selling comic David had ever written. The run ended abruptly in 1996 when Marvel fired 2099 line editor Joey Cavalieri amid the company's broader financial instability; David, in solidarity with his editor, resigned with issue #44, leaving the final two issues (#45–46) to fill-in creative teams — a behind-the-scenes drama that became one of the more discussed editorial ruptures of the decade.
