The problem is, for someone as strong as Spider-Man, the path of least resistance can run through other people. Wearing the suit is the only easy thing left, so he keeps doing it, and its darkness manifests not in the urge to sprout teeth and tear off a villain's arm, but in the temptation to keep taking the easy option. Peter is tired, physically and morally, and taking less and less responsibility for his actions. Zdarsky's writing embraces this concept, imagining Peter's relationship with Venom as one of small concessions. Much mocked as Spider-Man 3's "Emo Peter" was, this similarly Venom-corrupted version of the character embodied the idea that there isn't much malice or evil lurking within Peter Parker waiting to get out. Spider-Man's alter ego is, like Chip Zdarsky's prior work with Marvel, infinitely concerned with kindness and humanity.

Taking place around the events of 1984's Spider-Man #258, this title is the first in Marvel's revamped What If? line, telling versions of the comic giant's famous stories where things went just a little bit differently (at least at first.) Fans have seen evil Wall-Crawlers before - from Venom himself, to Peter's clone brother Scarlet Spider, to a swarm of arachnids play-acting as the young student they once consumed, countless writers have experimented with the idea of a Spider-Man gone wrong.
