Stories

Back in Black Part 3 · 22 pages
Now that he knows the Kingpin ordered the hit that brought down Aunt May, Spider-Man takes the goon who shot sniper Jake Martino down to the sewers and mercilessly pumps him for information. Returning to the hospital and finding that Aunt May is not getting any better, with their money running out, Peter gives Aunt May a transfusion of his own blood as this has helped her recover in the past. Knowing that Spider-Man is onto him, Kingpin pays off the prison guards to bring him his clothes and open the doors so he can escape. As he is walking out, Spider-Man arrives for a confrontation.

Publisher’s description

A sniper's bullet changes everything in Peter Parker's life. Clad in his black costume, Spider-Man will stop at nothing to find the man who pulled the trigger and the man who gave the kill order.
