Marvel Comics has unveiled its Spider-Island: Deadly Foes one-shot.
The comic features a host of creators and centres around the activities of the villains in New York City during the Spider-Man event.
"With all of Manhattan quarantined due to Spider-Island, The Jackal and Hobgoblin take advantage of the mass hysteria to destroy the Amazing Spider-Man," said the publisher. "This August, join Dan Slott, Christos Gage, Fred Van Lente, Giuseppe Camuncoli and Minck Oosterveer as they bring on the bad guys for Spider-Island: Deadly Foes #1.
"How will each of these villains exploit the spider-plague that's eating the Big Apple from the inside out? And what perverse plans have they crafted for Spider-Man?"
"The new Hobgoblin and the Jackal play central roles in Slott and Ramos's 'Spider-Island' epic. With this double-sized special we're giving the readers two thrilling, death-defying stories connected directly to 'Spider-Island's main artery," said senior editor Steve Wacker. "This ain't just a couple [of] origin stories. Chris Gage and Fred Van Lente worked closely with Dan to weave stories that serve to violently expand the main 'Spider-Island' plot."
The forthcoming event sees chaos ensue after the residents of Manhattan begin to display Spider-Man-like abilities. The storyline begins in Amazing Spider-Man #666.
The Spider-Island: The Amazing Spider-Girl tie-in miniseries was announced earlier this week.
