Spiderman Special #22

In "Het laatste avontuur," Peter Parker has traded the streets of New York for a quiet life in Portland, working as a scientist and trying to leave the life of Spiderman behind. But when a dangerous experiment at his lab goes wrong—and he realizes his own research played a part—he faces a painful choice: honor his promise to Mary Jane Watson-Parker or suit up one final time to stop a threat that could spiral out of control.

In "De dunne lijn," Spider-Man's relentless pursuit of Tendril takes a toll on his life off the web, as the strain of his dual identity fractures his marriage to Mary Jane Watson-Parker, who is pregnant and counting on him more than ever. As Ken Ellis digs deeper into Peter’s secrets, the line between hero and husband grows thinner—while old allies like Ben Urich and Dr. Eric Schwinner watch, and Calvin Falconer and Bill Galannan stand on the edge of a storm no one sees coming.

In "Skin Deep," Peter Parker is pulled back into the life he thought he’d left behind when the monstrous Tendril begins a killing spree in Portland, Oregon. With his pregnant wife Mary Jane growing distant and his own grip on the mask slipping, Peter faces a brutal truth: justice sometimes demands a darker kind of weapon. As Ken Ellis inches closer to uncovering the secret behind Spider-Man, and old allies like Dr. Eric Schwinner and Robbie Robertson navigate their own shadows, Peter must confront the cost of being a hero—even when the line between monster and man begins to blur.

In New York, Mary Jane Watson-Parker faces a crisis of faith as reporter Ken Ellis closes in on the truth behind Peter Parker’s double life, threatening the fragile peace she’s built. With Ben Reilly stepping in as the new Spider-Man, she must navigate suspicion and secrets while trying to protect the life she loves. Meanwhile, across the country in Portland, Oregon, Spider-Man and Dryrot race to stop Tendril’s escalating chaos before it tears the city apart.
