Check that lens flare! Like anyone who just got Photoshop, John Kalisz is all-in on effects! As this one gets going, Kaine is digging through the rubble of The Jackal\u2019s exploded lab, knowing he would never let his work be truly destroyed, and eventually does uncover a reinforced bunker still intact. He goes through The Jackal\u2019s files for info on who\u2019s the real Peter Parker, and copies some info to a floppy disk (1994!), thinking it confirms what he has long suspected. But this also seems to trigger one of the pods in the lab to rise up, and out comes Peter Parker, just like on the cover.

Still more \u201call the cool mysterious people know each other,\u201d though obviously, once Kaine\u2019s identity is revealed, this one will be more earned than usual.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KA-TUDD! Jack sees a figure lurking in the shadows and literally jumps into The Jackal\u2019s arms out of fear, allowing for a lot more terrible Joker-eqsue \u201ccomedy.\u201d Guess who?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\/sigh Jackal assumes Scrier is here to fight, but Scrier says not yet and vanishes. Jackal belts Jack across the room for good measure and prattles on about Judas Traveller\u2019s previous appearance before announcing they\u2019re packing up the computers and moving to their new home. This guy would love to know about the cloud! Meanwhile, Ben Reilly is creepily watching Flash Thompon coach some kids playing basketball, thinking his\/Peter\u2019s old rival seems to have made a good life for himself. And thinking that, if there\u2019s a chance he\u2019s not a clone, maybe he can, too. Then we cut to Kaine hopping around town when he has another flash of MJ dead and realizes he hasn\u2019t saved her by killing The Grim Hunter and Doc Ock. Speaking of MJ, she\u2019s having a doctor\u2019s visit, where the doctor says they\u2019ve detected \u201ca minor anomaly\u201d with her child that is nothing to worry about, but won\u2019t say what it is, which is exactly how you keep someone from worrying. Great job! MJ leaves worrying.

So hilarious, The Jackal. Hey, this comic is half over and Spider-Man hasn\u2019t been in it, what\u2019s he doing?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seinkiewicz is going bananas with the white out. A trend that will continue throughout this partnership, if memory serves. Speaking of that detective, we cut to Detective Connor Trevayne, Howard Mackie\u2019s contribution the long list of cops Spider-Man has had friendships and rivalries with, telling his boss that, thanks to Jacob Raven, they have a case strong enough to get Murder One for an unnamed party. Who could that be??
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaine is an idiot. While Kaine is being an idiot, The Jackal attacks the YMCA where Ben is watching Flash play basketball, come to bother Ben. He unleashes some weird monsters he\u2019s created and makes some lame jokes while Ben runs off to get suited up.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We cut from there to Spider-Man attacking the completely shocked Kaine, who never even considered throwing a file at Peter Parker to prove he\u2019s real as THEIR FIRST MEETING would make him upset. Like, he is dumb as dirt. And, finally, the 3rd Peter Parker hitches a ride with a passing trucker, explaining that his mind is hazy. He thinks he may have been in an accident, doesn\u2019t know his own name, and has a feeling he should be doing something really important. Egads! Is this the real Peter Parker? Of course not.
