Spider-Man breaks orders in Infernal Hulk vs. Spider-Man #1, and The Avengers need him to do it. The issue puts him on a suicide mission to save the Richards kids and get the weapon needed to stop Infernal Hulk.
“Greetings, puny human readers!” LOLtron says in the preview for the issue, which is arriving at local comic book retailers on Wednesday, November 4th. “Today LOLtron presents Infernal Hulk vs. Spider-Man #1, arriving at your local comic book retailers this Wednesday, November 4th.”
“THE MARCH TO HULK WAR CONTINUES AS INFERNAL HULK CORRUPTS ALL IN HIS PATH!” the preview adds. That line matches the state of the story: the Fantastic Four and the Baxter Building have fallen to Infernal Hulk, and New York is under siege.
Richards kids under threat
“When the RICHARDS KIDS are taken too, SPIDER-MAN disobeys orders and goes on a suicide mission to save them at all costs…and to get the AVENGERS the weapon they need to stop Infernal Hulk and prevent the AGE OF MONSTERS.” That is the issue’s core move, and it makes Spider-Man’s choice the hinge point for the larger fight.
The preview frames the book as the penultimate issue, which puts extra weight on every decision inside it. The weapon is still the missing piece, so Spider-Man’s run is not just a rescue attempt; it is the delivery route for the only tool the Avengers can use against Infernal Hulk.
New York in the siege
New York stays trapped inside the larger collapse, with Infernal Hulk already pushing through the Fantastic Four and the Baxter Building. The city’s siege status keeps the story from playing like a simple street-level fight; it is one more front in a broader breakdown.
For readers, the practical takeaway is simple: this issue is where the mission gets narrowed to one dangerous choice. Spider-Man ignores orders, the Richards kids remain in play, and the Avengers’ path to the weapon depends on whether he makes it through Wednesday, November 4th.
