ABOUT THE BOOK 

Spider-Verse fan-favorite Ghost-Spider takes on a multi-dimensional conspiracy in this thrilling graphic novel from New York Times bestselling author Roseanne A. Brown!

Gwen Stacy does her best to balance being a student, playing in her punk band, and fighting crime as the super hero Ghost-Spider. But when Arachnid, a super villain from a different dimension with similar spider powers, attacks her world, Ghost-Spider will have to team up with a new ally—Spider-Punk! Can these two get to the truth behind Arachnid's attacks? And just how did Gwen's family history get webbed into this?
