Stories

  • New Ways to Die Part Five: Easy Targets · 23 pages

    Peter discovers that the illegal immigrants have been undergoing medical experiments at Oscorp. Norman extracts material out of Gargan and runs the substance through the captured Freak, thus producing a strong new poison. Bullseye and Thunderbolt agents attack Spider-Man and end up blowing up Harry's coffee shop during the battle. Spider-Man quickly discovers how he is being tracked and turns the tables on Bullseye. Anti-Venom shows up to help Spider-Man track down Osborn. Norman, now in full Goblin regalia, provides Gargan with a new Scorpion costume complete with the new poison.
