3 parts Ongoing Peter Parker used to believe that with great power came great responsibility. But that was before the night everything slipped through his fingers. Before the sirens, the fall, the scream-and the girl he loved was gone.
Haunted by the death of his girlfriend, Mary Jane Watson, Peter hangs up the mask and walks away from being Spider-Man. No more webs. No more heroics. No more saving a city that he feels he failed. Now, he's just a broken seventeen-year-old trying to survive high school, grief, and the crushing silence of a life without purpose.
But darkness doesn't pause because a hero quits.
A new nightmare begins stalking New York's streets-violent, unhinged, and eerily familiar. Whispers spread of a monstrous figure with a twisted laugh and a glider cutting through the night. The Green Goblin has returned... and he's getting closer to Peter's life than anyone can see.
What Peter doesn't know is that this terror was born from the same tragedy he's running from. Someone else is grieving MJ. Someone whose pain didn't make him disappear-it made him transform.
As brutal attacks rise and the Goblin's madness tightens around him, Peter must face the truth he's terrified to confront:
He may not have the strength to be Spider-Man again... but he may be the only one who can stop this.
And some masks aren't worn. They're carved into the soul.
Desolation is a dark, emotional, and psychological Spider-Man story about grief, guilt, broken friendship, and the thin line between healing and becoming the very thing that destroyed you.
