Dark Web – Marvel Comics

“Dark Web” is an American comic book crossover storyline written by Zeb Wells with art by Adam Kubert and Ed McGuinness, published in 2022 by Marvel Comics. The story, which serving as a spiritual successor to “Inferno”, involves Spider-Man and the X-Men joining forces against Ben Reilly and Madelyne Pryor as the two wronged clones are teaming up as Chasm and Goblin Queen to raise hell across the Marvel Universe.

“Dark Web” is bookended by two one-shots, subtitled Dusk and Dawn, and the story continued in the pages of Zeb Wells’ run of Amazing Spider-Man. The storyline tied into various other books like Venom (vol. 5) and limited series including Gold Goblin, Mary Jane & Black Cat, Dark Web: Ms. Marvel and Dark Web: X-Men.^[1]

EP.123 – Post Decpte-Con Catch Up – A Review of Comic-Con News 2026 – Tangential Giants Podcast

Kareem finally reconnects with Ken and Pat after missing their Comic‑Con panel, and the guys waste no time recapping how their talk on the downfall of billionaires in comics somehow turned into a crowd‑pleaser. Pat insists they were profound. Ken insists they were unhinged. Both are probably right.From there, the conversation swerves into the tall grass. The trio tries to figure out why Transformers actually transform, whether “Decepticons” is a name that should have been retired decades ago, and how to stitch G.I. Joe, Transformers, and the Fast and the Furious into one cinematic universe without breaking the laws of physics or taste.It is exactly the kind of episode where a simple Comic‑Con debrief becomes a dissertation on toy‑based geopolitics, automotive theology, and franchise chaos theory.Settle in. It gets weird fast.#TangentialGiants #ComicCon #Transformers #GIJoe #FastAndFurious #NerdCulture #PopCulturePodcast #GeekTalk #ComicBookLore #MovieUniverses #PodcastLife #FandomTalk #ToyLore #FranchiseChaos
