Tangled Web: The Thousand

In this 2001 Marvel miniseries, Garth Ennis and John McCrea—the team behind Hitman—reunite for a gritty crime saga centered on a mysterious, scarred gangster known only as the Thousand. Co-written by Greg Rucka and illustrated by Eduardo Risso, the story follows a ruthless killer whose terrifying ability to absorb the identities and memories of his victims turns New York’s underworld upside down. A dark, character-driven thriller that pits a dogged detective against a villain of chilling, shape-shifting menace, Tangled Web: The Thousand stands as a taut, self-contained entry in the larger Spider-Man’s Tangled Web anthology series.
