The event begins in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN/VENOM: DEATH SPIRAL #1, a special one-shot, and continues in issues of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN and VENOM through April.

During the panel, Ewing, Kelly and Soule, along with Executive Editor Nick Lowe, Senior Editor Jordan D. White, and Editor in Chief C.B. Cebulski, discussed recent developments, including Spider-Man’s cosmic adventures, Mary Jane becoming Venom, and Eddie Brock’s bonding with Carnage, and explained how it all leads into this terrifying saga that introduces TORMENT, a twisted new supervillain who targets Peter Parker and all those connected to him, putting Spider-Man, Venom and Carnage on a violent collision course that not everyone involved will survive!

“One of the wildest times in Spider and Symbiote history revs into high gear with this killer crossover!” Says Spider-Editor Nick Lowe. “Not only will readers get to witness Peter Parker learn that his long time love Mary Jane Watson is bonded with one of his greatest nemeses, but both learn that Eddie Brock has paired with the baddest symbiote ever, Carnage. They’ll all be even more horrified when they face a scarier villain—TORMENT! No one is safe.”

“Spider-Man, Venom, Carnage, Mary Jane—they’re essentially a weird family unit, interconnected with gigantic amounts of history together,” Soule explained at the panel. “There’s an engine there, there’s a lot of emotional energy to there to break apart.”

“And then we needed a serial killer,” Kelly added.
