Synopsis / Summary / Plot

Siege: Spider-Man #1 Synopsis by Peter Silvestro

During the siege of Asgard by Norman Osborn and his Dark Avengers, Venom, knowing his side has lost, is determined to cause as much havoc as he can with the time they have left. He starts chewing on Asgardians but Spider-Man swings down to challenge him. They fight and end up falling off the edge and down to the streets of Broxton. Ms. Marvel swoops down to clout Venom as he attacks Spidey. When Spidey confirms that the monster’s powers come from the suit, Carol reaches into his mouth and yanks Mac Gargan out, dumping him in the street. But then the Symbiote captures Carol and gains her cosmic powers. Exulting in the newfound power, Venom attacks Spidey who dashes off to a nearby church only to discover that there are no bells in the tower.

Carol tries to escape from the Symbiote, calling for more energy so Spidey pushes his foe into some electric wires and the power gives Carol the strength she needs to break free. The Symbiote simply goes back to Gargan and the figth continues. Venom halts Spidey by mentioning that he knows Ms. Marvel’s feelings for him. But then MM clobbers the bad guy and suggests baseball to Sidey. So Spidey webs up Venom and hurls him and Carol smacks him into the distance with a jeep’s bumper. Ms. Marvel picks up Spidey and they fly back to Asgard, with Spidey asking Carol if she likes him….
