Boy, I\u2019m glad crazy stuff like white nationalist riots only happens in comics. Hang on, where\u2019s this one come from? No mycomicshop sticker, no McKay\u2019s sticker. I don\u2019t recall owning it as a child. Pretty sure I\u2019m about to read it for the first time. A mystery. Ok, I looked it up. Mycomicshop, but way back in 2015. Huh. Wonder why I took the sticker off just this one. I\u2019ve had this for over 5 years before actually reading it, that\u2019s absurd! As we get rolling, Peter is once again testing some new web fluid, in a nice bit of synergy with ASM for a change. It\u2019s not going well.

Grim, sadly relevant stuff. Peter gets in his work clothes as the Nazis declare their intent to burn down the \u201cHall of Afro-American Studies\u201d while spewing some pretty horrible racist language. But as Spider-Man prepares to hop down there, in comes Rocket Racer. Spidey sees he\u2019s about to engage the racists, so he intercepts him, trying to prevent things from getting anymore out of hand. The Nazis assume Spidey\u2019s on their side.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cops arrest Eddie, the leader, one of them recognizing him from busting him at a Watchdogs rally recently (The Watchdogs are a different white nationalist group Captain America has been fighting over in his own comic). Eddie sees Spider-Man hanging out with RR up on a roof and vows revenge. Not sure what this little turd could do to them, but I guess we\u2019ll see. Spidey wants to know what\u2019s going on. RR says today was his first day as a student at ESU. How he got a scholarship, and flashes back to how proud his mom and little sister were this morning.

Spider-Man swings off, thinking not all skinheads are bad (I guess Conway had read about SHARPs?), but this Eddie guy and his goons are trouble. Meanwhile, we go see Mary Jane, out on the town with some pals, where she asks what they think of her starting her own modeling agency. They shoot her down so hard! MJ\u2019s pals are downright cruel! But Regina suggests if MJ wants to change careers, she should look into acting. Mary Jane totally bails on her agency idea and starts thinking about acting instead. Geez. I would very much have liked to see Mary Jane: Business Woman. And I would, in late 2010s Iron Man comics, of all places, but you know what I mean. At least she seems happy as she heads home. Some people are not\u2026
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter sits down and thinks about how Aunt May always seemed on the verge of dying in the old days, but it\u2019s Nathan who\u2019s actually in bad shape. Then he thinks about what\u2019s happened to Robbie, thinks about The Lobo Brothers and Glory Grant, just about how things have been pretty messed up lately. Then the phone rings.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What time was it? Feels like it had to be pretty late to be calling a boarding home full of old people. What do I know? Nice moment for Pete & MJ at the bottom there. It\u2019s fleeting, though, as Peter heads to school, where tensions are still running high. Cops are trying to corral the Nazis, but Peter overhears them planning more mayhem later tonight, so we cut to\u2026
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spider-Man doesn\u2019t seem to get what he\u2019s dealing with. Rocket Racer jukes him and dives into the Nazis, causing Eddie to flee into the science building. RR chases him into, wouldn\u2019t you know it, Peter Parker\u2019s lab. Spidey is desperately trying to keep them from blowing themselves up when Eddie picks up a big jar and prepares to throw it at Spidey. Rocket Racer shoots it with one of his mini-rockets, but of course, it\u2019s Peter\u2019s highly corrosive new web fluid, and it\u2019s now pouring all over Eddie.

Goodness! Hang on, there\u2019s more:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

WHAT!? WHAAAAT?! Spider-Man\u2019s failed webfluid somehow turned that guy into a monster!? How?? What!? That is preposterous! Good grief. But wait, one more thing\u2026
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Shocks abound! We\u2019ll pick this all up next time.
