Publisher’s description

Look out, Peter – there’s a new webslinger in town! Ben Reilly, AKA The Scarlet Spider! But he’s not the only new kid on the block – there’s a new Doctor Octopus too, and she’s trapped Ben in a virtual reality nightmare? Can he make it out alive – or is the Scarlet Spider’s saga over before it even begins?
