Marvel’s Gang Wars
Marvel’s Gang Wars event kicked off in the pages of Amazing Spider-Man. It kicked off with the wedding of Beetle and Tombstone’s daughter, Janice Lincoln. During the big event, Maggia enforcer Hammerhead launched an attack that ultimately led to the death of Madame Masque. Now, the criminal underground of New York City is at each other’s throats.
This event has sent ripples throughout many of Marvel’s series. However, Spider-Man tries to rally the heroes of New York City and beyond to put an end to the crime battles plaguing the city streets. These heroes include Miles Morales, Luke Cage, Spider-Woman, and even a superpowered Mary Jane, AKA Jackpot. Now, Elektra Natchios is getting in on the crime-fighting.
