"Down Among the Dead Men" (issues 1-4) |
|
When Spider-Man finally sends the Green Goblin to jail, an unknown enemy who knows that Peter Parker is Spider-Man kidnaps Aunt May. After an embarrassing trip to the Avengers, Spidey visits the Owl, who says that Electro and the Vulture kidnapped her. This turns out to be a ploy by the Owl, who is after the two villains for stealing from him. Spidey goes through a brutal fight with Electro and is hospitalized. He is photographed (without his mask) and is ambushed by the Vulture, only to be saved by the Black Cat. The photos are brought to J. Jonah Jameson, who says he thinks the face looks familiar... |
"Venomous" (issues 5-8) |
|
The pictures of the unmasked Spider-Man are published by the Daily Bugle, but Parker's face is too mangled to be identified. Jameson issues a $5 million reward for Spidey's alias. Meanwhile Doctor Octopus goes on a rampage and Eddie Brock auctions off the Venom costume, which is bought by the Fortunato family for the baby of the family, Angelo. Spidey visits the X-Men, where Rachel Summers tells Spidey she thinks Aunt May is dead. Parker goes to his high school reunion and is attacked by Venom. During a grueling battle, the suit abandons Angelo, who falls to his death. Eddie Brock is discovered to have slit his own wrists. May's kidnapper then calls Parker and asks him to lunch. |
"The Last Stand" (issues 9-12) |
|
The kidnapper turns out to be the Scorpion, who is working for Norman Osborn. Spidey is blackmailed into breaking the Goblin out of jail. During the breakout, Spidey (along with the Black Cat) is attacked by the new Sinister 12, which includes the Scorpion as the new Venom. The 12, with the exclusion of the Goblin and Venom, battle the two heroes until many of the Marvel heroes come to save the day. Spidey chases after the Goblin, but is ambushed by Venom, whom he defeats. Spidey finds the Goblin on the Brooklyn Bridge with his wife, Mary Jane Watson. The two battle, but are interrupted by Doctor Octopus, who has been brainwashed to kill the Goblin by a shadowy organization. Spidey defeats them both, saves MJ, and rescues his Aunt, who is buried alive and unharmed in the grave of his Uncle Ben. |
"Wild Blue Yonder" (issues 13-18) |
|
After all the trauma of finding Aunt May and once again defeating the Green Goblin, Spider-Man is now a full member of the Avengers, living in Stark Tower with Aunt May and Mary Jane Watson. His summer-school job falls through, so he looks to the Daily Bugle for work. The Owl has placed a bounty on Spider-Man and the Absorbing Man and his unnamed female consultant are looking to collect. After a fight the unnamed woman stole Peter's wallet and starts looking for him at Aunt May and Peter's houses which are destroyed, so they leave none-the-wiser.
At the Daily Bugle, Peter meets the new star reporter from Iowa, named Ethan Edwards. Ethan's fundamentalist parents raised him to believe that "with power there must also come great responsibility" in life. Ethan asks Peter to train him and Peter agrees. |
"The Other" (issues 19-22) |
|
These issues are part of the twelve-part crossover, "Spider-Man: The Other", one-third of which will be told in Marvel Knights Spider-Man (the other two-thirds told in Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and Amazing Spider-Man).
The second chapter of The Other, "Denial," focuses on Mary Jane, who overhears that Spider-Man might be getting killed on television. She rushes to a bar to see the live coverage on TV, and she sees Spider-Man fighting Tracer, who is controlling Iron Man's armor and forcing him to attack Spider-Man. Later, at home, Mary Jane confronts Peter, telling him she thinks he has a death wish, but Peter interrupts her to tell her the news from the doctor.
The fifth chapter of The Other, "Retreat", Peter, Mary Jane and Aunt May go to Latveria to use Dr. Doom's Time Machine to see past scenes in his life, like the day Richard Parker and Mary Fitzpatrick-Parker left Peter in the care of his Uncle Ben and Aunt May. After returning to Stark Tower, Peter briefly considers a trip to Las Vegas with Mary Jane, namely in Tony Stark's penthouse suite. He ultimately rejects the idea, assuming even if he managed to win big at the blackjack tables, some super-villain or other would end up disrupting the whole vacation. Later, Morlun searches for Spider-man, in vain, as Peter and Mary-Jane are in one of Stark's space pods, looking down upon the earth. |
"Feral" (Issues 23-27) |
|
Curt Connors takes a look at "The Rock of Life" which causes a mysterious disease and causes many characters to turn Feral, including Man-Wolf, Vermin, The Lizard, Black Cat, and others. It is soon discovered that the rock was brought to New York by the villain Stregon with the aim of regressing all of humanity, and of course, Spider-Man stops him. However, Madame Web says that his life is actually going to get much more complicated. |
"My Science Teacher is Spider-Man" (Issue 28) |
|
Due to the events in CIVIL WAR, Spider-Man has been unmasked to the world. Jordan Harrison, one of Peter's students, is shocked to learn this. When Doctor Octopus discovers that Spider-Man was only fifteen when he first defeated him, he goes on a rampage through New York. Jordan Harrison distracts Ock so Spidey can knock him out. |
