The Menace of... Menace!! · 22 pages
Even though Spider-Man is an unregistered hero who is wanted by the police, Jackpot (a registered and legal heroine) decides to team up with him in order to take on Menace. Jameson finds out that his wife has sold the Bugle to Dexter Bennett. Spider-Man discovers a serial killer is placing spider tracers on his victims.

Publisher’s description

Jackpot! Spidey vs. the Police! Menace! Triumphs, twists, turns and tragedy pack these two issues by Marc Guggenheim and Salvador Larrocca. And would you believe... Spider-Man sued? (Hey, that's what we get for having a former lawyer write these things...)
