Spider-Man #9/2005

In "Golden Child Part One," Spider-Man races to protect a young boy named Paul Patterson from Wolverine, who’s hunting a dangerous mutant with deadly power. When the boy takes Spider-Man to his home, the hero uncovers a chilling secret tied to the boy’s late father.

Spider-Man, Angel, Dr. Strange, Wong, Black Cat, and the Fantastic Four gather for their usual superhero poker night—until the Kingpin shows up, uninvited, with a high-stakes game in mind. With Dr. Strange’s mystical prowess no match for the bluffing table, and the Masochist Marauders lurking in the shadows of a past game, the cards may be the least dangerous thing on the table.
