About the series
During Marvel’s 2009 “Dark Reign” era, this four-issue miniseries gives the spotlight to Mac Gargan—the Venom-symbiote-wearing, decidedly unheroic Spider-Man—as he stumbles through a chaotic New York. Written by Brian Reed with art by Chris Bachalo and Rob DiSalvo, the story follows this monstrous, wisecracking imposter as he clashes with the Redeemer, Dementoid, and General Wolfram, all while dodging the suspicions of J. Jonah Jameson. A darkly comedic detour from the main event, it showcases a villain trying (and failing) to play the hero.
