Spider-Man: New Ways to Die

A 2009 Marvel one-shot, Spider-Man: New Ways to Die is a standalone story from the Brand New Day era, written by Dan Slott with art by John Romita Jr. and Klaus Janson. This single issue pits Spider-Man against the newly-formed Thunderbolts, a government-sanctioned team of villains led by Norman Osborn, and introduces the character Menace, a new goblin-themed threat to the web-slinger. While brief, the issue is a key chapter in the post-Civil War landscape, showcasing the shifting allegiances and escalating dangers of Peter Parker's life at the time.
