When he’s not serving as mayor of New York City, Luke Cage is continuing to fight crime on the streets of the Big Apple. His next adventures pick up in an all-new series self-titled series, which is set for release this week. Part of Marvel’s Gang War event, the House of Ideas recently released a preview for the mini-series’ first issue, which you can see below.

“Hobgoblin, Mr. Negative, the Owl, Shotgun, Diamondback, A.I.M., H.Y.D.R.A., and more battle with and against each other for NYC supremacy. For Peter Parker, “going on patrol” isn’t enough.. and he declares his own war on super-crime. It’s General Spidey at the helm, leading a group of heroes that includes fellow Spider-Man Miles Morales, She-Hulk, Daredevil, and Spider-Woman,” Marvel previously said of the series. “Their goal: take down the super-gangs in under 48 hours. But what does Mayor Luke Cage and the city’s strong anti-vigilante laws have to say about it? Will Jackpot gamble on getting involved? And is Shang-Chi a friend or foe? They better all figure it out before two classic villains make a game-changing return!”
