Description
Dr. Octopus attacks Spidey, although he no longer seems to remember Spidey's secret identity. The destructive battle decimates Lower East Side streets. Rose and Delilah escape. Carolyn convinces Ock to break off the battle. He topples an abandoned building forcing Spidey to save the bystanders while he and Carolyn escape. Madame Qwa demands vengeance for Master Zei's death. The Tarantula promises to provide it. Ock finds Angelina in a coma following the VR backlash (ASM #427, '97) and blames Spidey. Joe Robertson offers Jacob Conover his old job following orders from Norman Osborn who recently acquired half the Bugle (PPSSM #249, '97). Black Tarantula attacks Delilah, nearly killing her, but repairing her with a healing touch, all as a message to the Rose. Mary Jane convinces Peter to join her at an ESU toga party. Shantal, Jill Stacy, Marina Caches, and Dante Rigoletto are there as Chesbro spies on them from a distance.
