A science experiment gone terribly wrong, a killer searching for atonement, a fugitive on the run, a vigilante delivering extreme justice...and a Spider-Man ! When the imperfect clone of Peter Parker, former supervillain Kaine, attempts to start his life over, he relocates to Houston...and promptly stumbles upon an international human trafficking ring! But lacking the moral fiber and heroic constitution of his genetic twin Peter Parker, Kaine must decide between action and apathy and define his own brand of justice in the process as the Scarlet Spider! And finding himself on the wrong side of the merciless Assasins' Guild, will the all-new Scarlet Spider fight to protect the citizens of Houston - or just leave his adoptive city to fend for itself COLLECTING: Scarlet Spider 1-6, material from Marvel Point One
