Description
Happening past a protest outside the home of a developer who wishes to tear down an old hotel and replace it with a shopping mall, Spider-Woman saves the man from a fall when a projectile thrown by a protester knocks him off the balcony. Returning to Scotty's home, her partner provides her with their next mission: Go to San Francisco and capture Turner D. Century. Century is a man garbed in early 1900's clothing and has been terrorizing San Francisco using violent means in order to restore the apparent decency and tradition of early 1900's. Traveling to San Francisco, Jessica Drew takes in the sights of the city. She has her first encounter with Turner D. Century when he attacks a bar. Changing into Spider-Woman, she has to stop her attempt to capture the crook when the bar patrons are endangered by the fire set by Turner. That night Scotty calls her and gives her a rough time for letting Turner get away, to which she angrily hangs up on him. While out on another patrol of San Francisco, Spider-Woman spots Turner D. Century as he is setting an adult theater ablaze, and attacks him. Once more she is forced to stop when some children are endangered when a fire escape breaks, allowing Century to escape once more. This leads to yet another angry phone call between Jessica and Scotty, who believes that she still could have caught Century. After Turner burns down a section of Chinatown, Spider-Woman and Scotty track down a lead that takes Spider-Woman to the abandoned home of Morgan McNeil Hardy. Entering the home, she founds a vast complex underneath fashioned after the early 1900's. There Spider-Woman and Turner clash until they are interrupted by Hardy himself. Spider-Woman learns that Hardy create this world so that he could relive what he believed to be better times. Explaining to Hardy what Turner D. Century had been doing, Century is put into a frenzy and attacks her. During the fight, a fire breaks out. Forced to flee on her own, the house explodes seemingly killing Hardy and Century.
