Strange #217
In "L'invasion d'Atlantis !", Spider-Man grapples with his decision to walk away from heroics as the city teeters under shifting power struggles—Kingpin gone, the Arranger pulling strings, and old enemies like the Blue Boy Gang and the Hobgoblin resurfacing. With Flash emerging from hiding and the Punisher closing in, Spidey finds himself caught between his past and a future he’s not sure he wants. Written by Tom DeFalco and Christopher Priest, with dynamic art by Ron Frenz and Brett Breeding, and colored by Bob Sharen, this 1988 issue features a striking cover by John Buscema and Tom Palmer.

Kingpin has gone into hiding and all of the other power players in the mob try to fill the void. The Arranger, the Kingpin's second in command, is still firmly in control as he has Jack O' Lantern take care of Silvermane, sends the police to arrest the Rose's men and blows up Hammerhead. Flash comes out of hiding to contact Betty. Hobgoblin thinks he has Spider-Man cornered on a rooftop but instead finds himself face to face with the Punisher.
