Frank Miller continues on as artist as Spidey manages to web onto the robot. Good luck, there. DD is having trouble with MM’s many goons, and tricks them into to shooting the lights out so he can clean up in a preview of the inventive layouts Frank Miller will bring to his DD run…
…but even pretending MM has blinded him doesn’t help DD stop him from arming the bomb that will wipe out all of New York. The bomb Spider-Man has managed to climb onto and is trying to stop. He rips the guts out of it, disarming the bomb, but also messing up the flight mechanism, and begins a slow crash toward Manhattan. He’s able to guide it to a harmless crash landing, and DD catches up to him just in time to stop the cops from arresting him. And at that moment, Spidey’s sight begins to return.
Which is helpful as he swings back to his wrecked apartment, which is being investigated by a cop, and, for some reason, Flash Thompson, Hector Ayala, Betty and Mary Jane. The whole gang’s showed up to look at the disaster. Spidey hangs outside listening to their conversation before snagging some normal clothes through the window and joining them inside. MJ leaps to hug him when she sees he’s ok, and Peter acts surprised by the damage. Hector offers to let Peter stay at his place tonight. He tells Pete to meet him after his night class, but when Peter gets to the library, his Spider Sense goes off, and he finds Hector with another grim message scrawled on him, shortly followed by an attack by Carrion, who knows his secret! Peter has no idea who Carrion is, though, so the fight is pretty one-sided.
Hector’s kind-of-girlfriend Holly Gillis hears the battle and shows up just in time to see Carrion with his hands around Peter’s throat, accusing him of a murder and about to kill him. To be continued!
