The End 2099 - by Steve Orlando (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

One future ends, and another begins!

From the ashes of the Age of Heroes, a new generation of vigilantes - like Spider-Man 2099, Nova 2099 and Red Hulk 2099 - emerged in the dystopia that followed to forge a bright new future. But that future has come to an end in the face of Abyssus, the horrifying fusion that is a Knull-infected Galactus! As the Devourer in Black descends upon the world, the only hope is a deal with the devil - literally! Mephisto bets the fate of 2099 in a brutal battle of survival, pitting the warriors of the era against fan-favorite characters from across the Multiverse - like Age of Apocalypse Wolverine, Claremont/Byrne Cyclops and Marvel Girl, House of M Wanda Maximoff and more - each battling for their own universe's survival! It's hero against hero in this no-holds-barred war against extinction! But as Marvel's past and present duke it out, only one thing is certain: The future is coming, and it's arriving in the form of...Spider-Man 3099?!
