Description
After Nocturne cures Puma and gives Spidey a small measure of peace (PPSSM #218, '94), the web-slinger encounters Daredevil, who assaults two thugs looking for the Owl's location. Spidey seeks his old friend's help but Matt Murdock has faked his own death (in DD #325, '94) and claims to be a different man in the costume. Meanwhile, two other men who wish to start fresh, the Owl and the rejuvenated Vulture, team up. In Pittsburgh, memories of her childhood and abusive father haunt MJ. At Matt Murdock's grave, DD tells Spidey he must bury Peter Parker and forget he ever existed if he wishes to be free of his pain. At their hideout, the Vulture demonstrates a lethal chemical virus stolen from an Army Research lab on a homeless victim, explaining that it has no antidote. His plan to have birds carry it around the city to kill everyone who ever knew him repulses the Owl, who flees. Spidey and DD find him but a virus-carrying bird scratches Spidey and he collapses.
