In "Blackout Part Two," Spider-Man returns from Latveria to a crisis at home: Mary Jane’s old manager has stolen their savings, leaving Aunt May and him facing eviction. With his reputation crumbling—fired from his job, rejected by Jameson, and still haunted by the Ghost’s attack on Tricorp—Spider-Man’s grip on his double life starts to slip. Written by Howard Mackie and illustrated by John Byrne, with Dan Green’s inks and Joe Rosas’s colors, this tense chapter unfolds under the weight of personal and public betrayal. Mike Wieringo’s cover captures the moment’s urgency, while the story pushes Peter Parker to his limits—just as the city’s next danger looms.
