In Worldwide Vol. 1, Peter Parker embraces a new chapter as a tech magnate, running the globally expanding Parker Industries. With offices in Shanghai, London, and San Francisco, Peter now has more responsibilities than ever — and that includes deploying Spider-Man as his personal “bodyguard” across the world đ.
But global success brings global danger. A high-tech terror group called Zodiac threatens to destabilize global security. As Peter tackles Zodiac’s coordinated strikes, he also deals with personal challenges — including Johnny Storm's anger over the Baxter Building, now serving as Parker Industries’ New York HQ.
As if that weren’t enough, a new menace rises in Africa, donning the Goblin mantle, forcing Spider-Man into uncharted territory both geographically and emotionally.
