   Summary

   When an earthquake strikes Manhattan, Will disappears and Spider-Man saves Mike from falling to his death. He thinks that finding his best friend is the end of his problems.

   It's only the beginning.

   A murdered Broadway star. A vampire CEO. Russian super-soldiers. A timeline that shouldn't exist. And, at the center of it all, Will Byers—the best friend-turned-roommate that Mike is hopelessly in love with and the only person powerful enough to stop reality from unraveling.
