THE SPIDER-ARMY TRIUMPHED, STRANDING THEIR ENEMY ON A RADIOACTIVE PLANET, AND RETURNED TO THEIR LIVES. THE INHERITORS WAITED. [*READ SPIDER-GEDDON #2 BEFORE THIS ISSUE.] THEN OTTO OCTAVIUS, ASPIRING TO BECOME THE PREDOMINANT HERO OF SAN FRANCISCO, USED THE INHERITORS’ CLONING TECHNOLOGY AND OPENED A DOOR FOR THEIR RETURN. THE WEB-WARRIORS, VETERANS OF THE FIRST WAR FOR THE SPIDER-VERSE, CAME TO WARN HIM--TOO LATE. THREE INHERITORS EMERGED FROM THE CLONING TANKS AND KILLED SPIDER-MAN NOIR AND SPIDER-UK. AS OTTO’S LAB EXPLODED, SPIDER-GWEN FOUGHT THE INHERITORS SO THE SURVIVORS COULD ESCAPE. WHILE MILES MORALES AND OTTO DISAGREED OVER STRATEGY, MAY “MAYDAY” PARKER (SPIDER-WOMAN OF EARTH-982) REMEMBERED THAT SPIDER-GIRL (A.K.A. ANYA CORAZON)’S INTERPRETATION OF ANCIENT SCROLLS FROM THE INHERITORS’ HOMEWORLD TURNED THE TIDE IN THE FIRST WAR. KNOWING THEY’D NEED EVERY POSSIBLE ADVANTAGE, THE TWO HEROES LEFT TO SEE WHERE ANYA’S KNOWLEDGE OF SPIDER-TOTEMS AND THE SPIDER SOCIETY COULD LEAD THEM.
