• The Transportation: Agatha Harkness teleports Spider-Man from his apartment to a remote, magical city in the Brazilian rainforest.
• The Conflict: Upon arrival, he encounters Wolverine, who has also been summoned. The two heroes are forced into a violent confrontation over an enchanting purple globe—the Heart of Chthon—which drives them to a state of greedy rage.
• The Outcome: As they fight, Agatha reveals her plan to use the chaos energy generated by these battles to forge a new Darkhold to defend against an impending darkness.
