He's about to encounter Tombstone - the highest-priced killer in the business - and the whispering hitman will make a big noise in the wall-crawler's life. Who is Tombstone? Why is Joe Robertson investigating him? What devastating action will Tombstone take to put a stop to that? And how will it all end with Joe on trial?!

Meanwhile, Boomerang makes his comeback, 'Evolutionary War' breaks out, 'Inferno' rages, and the Hobgoblin goes demonic.
