Spider-Man: The Next Chapter #3

In "Denial," Peter Parker grapples with the devastating news that Mary Jane has died in a plane crash, even as he battles the Hulk amid the train yards. The clash between the two heroes takes on a deeper weight when Spider-Man’s grief echoes the Hulk’s own loss, revealing a shared pain beneath the conflict. Together, they set aside their differences to repair the tracks in time to stop a runaway train, a moment of quiet resolve before Peter receives word that Mary Jane is alive.

In "Coming Home," Spider-Man returns from Latveria only to find his life unraveling: Mary Jane is missing, his apartment is in jeopardy after her old manager steals their savings, and Aunt May is being evicted. With the city still reeling from a near-catastrophic Ghost attack at Tricorp, Spider-Man’s efforts to protect Manhattan are met with betrayal—his job is gone, his photojournalist career is over, and even J. Jonah Jameson has turned his back. The web-slinger’s greatest challenge may not be out there, but right here, at home.
