Media Release -- The most iconic rogues gallery in pop culture is getting a new member! This April, Joe Kelly, Pepe Larraz, and John Romita Jr.'s new run of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN introduces HELLGATE, a mysterious adversary hell bent on Spidey's destruction! Bursting on the scene with a singular purpose to humble the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man like no one else has, HELLGATE's motives may be unclear, but his formidable strength will be immediately evident! Today, fans can see HELLGATE in full for the first time in a sneak peek at John Romita Jr.'s artwork from AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1 along with his original design.



Representing Spider-Man's greatest challenge in the new era, HELLGATE will force Spider-Man to endure some of his most brutal battles ever and will significantly impact the course of Peter Parker's life—both in and out of the suit!
