Spider-Man: The Gauntlet - The Complete Collection #1

In "The Last Name," Spider-Man takes a dangerous gamble to expose Norman Osborn’s crimes, infiltrating Oscorp to steal damning footage of his experiments. When the Iron Patriot corners him, Peter Parker uses a clever disguise and a public internet café to fight back—not with webs, but with words, turning the spotlight on Osborn’s tyranny in the most unexpected way.

In "The Irritable J. Jonah Jameson," Jonah Jameson finds himself kidnapped by Emil Nason, a fan whose obsession with the mayor takes a dangerous turn. When Nason tries to enlist Jonah in a scheme to take down Spider-Man, the usually irascible publisher flips the script with a twist no one sees coming.

In "Gauntlet: Origins Vulture," Titus Purves, leader of the prison's Aryan Brotherhood, forces Adrian Toomes to build him a flying harness for an escape—only for the Vulture to reclaim control of his fate. With his family and freedom on the line, Toomes must outthink his captor in a high-stakes game of survival.

In "Make Mine Marvel!", Peter Parker finds himself caught between Spider-Man’s web-slinging duties and a bizarre twist when Stan Lee, caught in a clash between Spidey and the Human Top, offers him a shot at starring in a licensed Marvel comic—only to have the project move forward without Peter’s input. As usual, the dream of comic book fame turns into a messy reality when Peter’s name is on the cover but his wallet stays empty.
