Shadowforce, a team introduced in this series, appeared exactly three times in Marvel Comics. Shadowgames #1, Shadowgames #2, and Shadowgames #3. So what I’m saying is, this is not an important miniseries.
It is, however, quite good.

A secret government agency–the employers of Shadowforce–kidnap Spider-Man in an effort to figure out how he got his abilities.
X-Factor help him defeat them.
There’s also a subplot with the government preventing the Daily Bugle from covering the caper.
Solid comic book stuff!
