Publisher’s description

Spider-Man meets a worthy adversary in the cyborg Ramrod. Spidey saves some of his fellow students during Ramrod’s on-campus attack, but must don the mask again during a night out in Brooklyn! An entire bar of people start behaving violently after a free round of beer, and Peter suspects the drinks have been laced with a mood-altering agent!
