Spider-Man, Carnage, and Venom are set to collide in Marvel’s upcoming crossover event, and new details about the series reveal that the premise is essentially a death sentence for everyone’s favorite web-slinger, raising the question: Does Peter Parker have a chance at surviving this brutal showdown?
Marvel has officially released its February solicitations, and among the teased releases is Amazing Spider-Man / Venom: Death Spiral #1 by Charles Soule, Al Ewing, Joe Kelly, and Jesús Saíz, hitting comic shelves on February 25, 2026.

While Marvel has teased this crossover before, fans now have an official synopsis and additional details suggesting that Spider-Man will need to be smarter, faster, and stronger than ever if he hopes to survive this event.
The next epic SPIDER-MAN and VENOM crossover starts here and continues through April! A new super-powered serial killer is on the loose and they're coming for Spidey, Venom and everyone in between. But what terrible secret has CARNAGE learned, and what does it have to do with Spider-Man?!

New Superpowered Serial Killer Torment Targets Spidey, and Not Everyone Will Survive This High-Stakes Crossover

As teased by the synopsis for Amazing Spider-Man/Venom: Death Spiral #1, a new super-powered serial killer, Torment, is on the loose, and Spidey is on their hit list. With this villain being both unknown and deadly, plus having an established body count, it’s clear that Peter will face a fight for his life unlike anything he’s encountered before.
The high stakes of this crossover were further emphasized during The Marvel Comics: Spider-Man and His Venomous Friends panel, where Death Spiral was first announced. Writers Ewing, Soule, and Kelly confirmed that not everyone will survive the event, signaling that this saga will have significant consequences and permanently impact the characters readers have followed for years.
Why Spider-Man Might Not Survive Marvel’s Death Spiral
Torment’s Deadly Hunt and Carnage’s Deadly Knowledge Put Peter Parker in More Danger Than Ever
It’s confirmed that at least one major character will die, marking a significant shift in the Marvel Universe’s status quo. Fans may wonder why Screen Rant is highlighting Spider-Man specifically as a potential casualty, but multiple factors put the web-slinger at particular risk during this deadly crossover event.
Spider-Man faces heightened danger not only because of the superpowered serial killer Torment, but also due to Carnage uncovering the memories Eddie had locked away. This means one of Marvel’s deadliest villains now knows exactly who hides behind Spider-Man’s mask, putting Peter directly in the crosshairs of multiple lethal threats simultaneously.
With Carnage poised to play an unsettling role in Death Spiral, combined with his newfound knowledge of Peter’s identity and a "terrible secret," the situation feels like a recipe for disaster. Peter will be forced to confront multiple threats at once during this high-stakes event, making it a crossover that could very well cost Spider-Man his life.
Amazing Spider-Man/Venom: Death Spiral #1 is available February 25, 2026, from Marvel Comics!
