“It Begins with a Bang not a Whimper!”

In "It Begins with a Bang not a Whimper!", Ben Reilly fights to clear his name after being framed for arson, with the only path to redemption lying in confronting the man who bested him—Hobgoblin. Meanwhile, Peter Parker stands at a pivotal crossroads, making a decision that will reshape his future. Written by Howard Mackie and illustrated by John Romita Jr., with inks by Al Williamson and colors by Kevin Tinsley, this 1996 issue delivers high stakes and emotional weight, all wrapped in a striking cover by Romita Jr. and Williamson.
