Marvel Comics - La collection #5
In this 2014 issue of Marvel Comics – La collection #5, Spider-Man faces a brutal new threat as the Puma closes in—only for the Black Cat to intervene at the last second. Written by Tom DeFalco and illustrated by Ron Frenz, with inks by Joe Rubinstein and colors by Christie Scheele, the story unfolds with tense momentum as Spidey and the Black Cat retreat to his apartment, where Mary Jane unexpectedly arrives. The cover, by Todd McFarlane, captures the moment of high stakes and danger that defines the issue.
In "null," Spider-Man’s battle with the Rose’s empire leaves him drained, only to be hunted by the deadly Thomas Fireheart a.k.a. The Puma. As Peter Parker finally collapses into bed, his alien costume stirs with unsettling life—just as the Puma closes in, forcing Spider-Man to endure a brutal ambush that ends with his arm dislocated.
In this tense, pulse-pounding tale from *La collection #5*, Spider-Man faces a brutal assault from the Puma—only to be saved by the Black Cat’s sudden intervention. As the fight escalates and danger lingers, Peter’s world tightens around him: Mary Jane shows up unannounced, secrets begin to surface, and a web of betrayals unfolds when the Kingpin learns of an unauthorized hit on Spider-Man. With the Puma’s motives shifting and the Rose’s influence spreading, Peter must navigate shifting loyalties—while the truth about Mary Jane’s knowledge hangs in the air.
In "null," Peter is stunned when Mary Jane reveals she knows his secret identity. The Black Cat appears at his apartment, and after she leaves, Peter turns to Mr. Fantastic to investigate the strange black costume. Reed Richards discovers the suit is an alien symbiote, and using a sonic blaster, he forcibly separates it from Spider-Man. Returning home in an old Fantastic Four uniform with a paper bag for a mask, Peter is soon joined by Mary Jane—just as the Hobgoblin makes a dangerous offer to the Rose.
In "null," Peter grapples with the weight of Mary Jane knowing his secret, as she shares her family’s painful past for the first time. With Mr. Fantastic’s telepathic attempts to reach Spider-Man’s alien suit failing, the Hobgoblin reemerges—demanding control of the city’s underworld and turning his attention to Harry Osborn. As old threats resurface, Peter dons his classic red and blue suit, ready to confront the past he thought he’d left behind.
In "null," Spider-Man’s forgotten alien costume fuses with reporter Eddie Brock, reigniting a bitter rivalry that blurs the line between hero and villain. At Mary Jane’s urging, Spider-Man sheds the black suit to return to his classic blue and red, but the past isn’t so easily left behind.
