Description
Spider-Man arrives at Ravencroft where Security Chief John Jameson shows him Dr. Kafka, unconscious with a concussion and two cracked ribs, and tells him of Shriek's escape. Spidey and Beatrice MacBride search independently for Shriek and Malcolm who wind up at an upstate home where Shriek murders the owner and moves in. She horrifies Malcolm, even more because she insists on thinking of him as her son. In Forest Hills, Mary Jane angrily confronts Aunt May over her denial of the trauma "Mary" and "Richard" caused. May replies that she knows "full well what reality is." Upstate, Shriek batters Malcolm for being an ungrateful child. Spidey intervenes and attacks violently, trying to submerge his humanity but when Shriek cringes and cries, Spidey backs off. Having faked the tears, Shriek suckers him with a full-force sonic blast, knocking him unconscious. In Forest Hills, MJ leaves and May feels a wave of dizziness. Even as Shriek uses her psychic energies to transform Malcolm into Carrion, MJ returns to May's house. While Carrion grasps Spidey's face with his decay-inducing fingers, MJ finds May lying on her kitchen floor, seemingly dead.
