Stories

Mr. Parker Goes to Washington: Part Three of Three · 22 pages
Spider-Man drives off Titanium Man and keeps him from killing Tony. After the battle, Tony once again appears before the Senate concerning superhuman registration and this time, Spider-Man himself testifies. Unbeknownst to Peter, he has been played by his new mentor as Iron Man pays Titanium Man off for the fortuitous attack. With the registration bill still up in the air, Tony and Peter return home to the news of the Stamford disaster.

Publisher’s description

Peter Parker's trip to Washington with his boss Tony Stark has been a real doozy. As if suffering politicians who want to impose all sort of new rules on guys like him isn't enough, he's also got to deal with the monstrous might of the Titanium Man! Good thing for Spidey, his new costume's got some very special features - Get ready, True Believer. The clouds are quickly building on the horizon for a storm that will shake the entire Marvel Universe next month!
