The Return Of Hydra In Amazing Spider-Man's Gang War Today (Spoilers)

The Amazing Spider-Man crossover Gang War kicks off properly today with Amazing Spider-Man: First Strike #1, Luke Cage #1 and Spider-Woman #1

The Amazing Spider-Man crossover Gang War kicks off properly today with Amazing Spider-Man: First Strike #1, Luke Cage #1 and Spider-Woman #1 – with something to counter it in Captain America #3. As the gangs of New York redivide their territories in the wake of the absence of Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin.

Shang-Chi chilling with the mob? More on that with the Gang War. With Diamondback making a play for Madam Masque's territory now that she has gone as well.

"Hail Hydra"? Are Marvel's modern Nazis back? Defeated after Secret Empire, scattered amongst Orchis, there have been some changes there as well.

Hammmerhead knows what went down. And the new Spider-Woman #1 reveals that particular arrangement.

I am not entirely sure how people will react to a black guy taking over a Nazi terrorist group in New York…

But some people clearly seem to be okay with it.

It's a contrast to scenes from the late nineteen-thirties in Captain America #3 also out today, where Steve Rogers gets into bed – or at least into a car – with the mob.

Turns out, the gangs of New York used to have an issue with Nazis.

Or, at least, some of them did.

Ninety years later, things have changed a bit, it seems.

I do hope that Luke Cage will have a barbed comment to add when he learns the news…

Although he may have just put a target on his head, from a Hammerhead,

And even in Luke Cage's new costume, intended so that no one will know it's the Mayor of New York fighting on the streets.

. I am really not sure that this will be convincing, given that he's now the mayor and everything.

Oh no, looks like I'm wrong, it goes down a treat.

While we get an idea of one of the main instigators behind the Gang War…

Putting adamantium weapons on the street.

And upping the game all round.

Poor little Hammerhead. Looks like Madame Masque may not be as past tense as some had thought…

As the Gang War takes to the streets. Not the only such war being fought in New York today, as over in Brooklyn, it's all about the vampires.

Gang War comes to Miles Morales next month, though, this is just a taster. And he's back in the old suit for his confrontation with Peter Parker.

Yeah, no one has told him about Randy Robertson yet…

As all of New York starts to go down in flames…

Where will all this lead? Howard The Duck has an idea.

I mean, that makes as much sense as anything, right?
