“The Choice and the Challenge!”

In "The Choice and the Challenge!", Peter Parker faces his toughest test yet as the Hobgoblin escalates his war with Spider-Man, taking Sha Shan hostage and forcing Peter to confront his past. With Aunt May recovering, Peter considers walking away from the mask—until Mary Jane reminds him he’s still needed, reigniting the web-slinger’s resolve. Written by Tom DeFalco and illustrated by Ron Frenz, with inks by Josef Rubinstein and colors by Nel Yomtov, this 1994 issue delivers high stakes and emotional weight, all wrapped in a cover by Ron Lim and Sam DeLaRosa.

The Hobgoblin prepares to bring down Spider-Man. Peter and Aunt May bring Nathan home from the hospital. Peter tells Mary Jane that he is through being Spider-Man and tells her his origin story. Flash smacks his girlfriend around and busts Ned Leeds in the chops when he confronts him about the affair Flash is having with his wife. Hobgoblin takes Sha Shan as a hostage. Mary Jane convinces Peter that he can't quit with the Hobgoblin on the loose so Spidey faces his old foe. Spidey is able to rescue Sha Shan but is brought down by Hobby's new chest plate with a deadly random pattern blaster.
