After the chaos at the wedding for Tombstone's daughter and every crime lord blaming the other,^[1] the super criminals of New York take their crime families to battle in the open for underworld dominance. Sensing a conspiracy to bring such an event to pass and plunge the city into war, Spider-Man seeks the help of his fellow street-level heroes to suppress and conclude the hostilities within a 48-hour window of opportunity. However, the new anti-vigilante laws of the city task the NYPD with stopping the Gang War as well as the vigilantes.
