Spider-Man Defies the Avengers on a Suicide Mission in Infernal Hulk vs. Spider-Man #1

Marvel's Infernal Hulk event takes its biggest swing yet with Infernal Hulk vs. Spider-Man #1, out this week, with New York City still under siege and the Baxter Building fallen entirely to the rampaging Infernal Hulk.

With Reed Richards and the rest of the Fantastic Four taken captive, Spider-Man breaks ranks with the Avengers and launches a one-man rescue mission that reads as outright suicidal — both to pull the Richards family out alive and to drag the Avengers back into a fight they've been losing badly.

The one-shot follows October's Infernal Hulk vs. Fantastic Four #1 and keeps building the road toward a larger Hulk War, with early reviews singling out Spidey's reckless, against-orders heroics as the emotional center of the issue.
