Aunt May has been shot by a sniper bullet meant for Peter and he frantically swings her to the hospital but, with his identity exposed and being wanted by the law, he has to leave her as a Jane Doe patient. Mary Jane goes to the hospital and gives a fake name while claiming that Aunt May is her relative. Peter begins his hunt for the sniper and cuts through the underworld in a violent and brutal fashion. To mirror his dark mood, he dons his black Spider-Man costume once again.
