Stories

  • The Speedster and the Spider! · 20 pages

    With Jonah down for the count, Robbie publishes Peter's pictures in the Bugle showing Kingpin, and not Spider-Man, to be the real crook in the case of the golden tablet. Trying to redeem himself after his recent career with Magneto, Quicksilver decides to bring in the menace known as Spider-Man but discovers he isn't the villain the Bugle has painted him to be.

Publisher’s description

At the mercy of Quicksilver's fury! After deciding to give up his life as a super villain, Quicksilver looks to join the Avengers. But when they're not at the Avengers Mansion, he believes he can get in their good graces by bringing in New York's greatest criminal....Spider-Man?!
