The Amazing Spider-Man #16
In "Coming Home," Spider-Man returns from Latveria to a crisis at home: Mary Jane is missing, her old manager has stolen their savings, and Aunt May faces eviction. With his reputation crumbling—fired by Twaki after stopping the Ghost’s Tricorp attack and even Jameson turning him down—Peter’s world feels like it’s falling apart. Written by Howard Mackie and illustrated by John Byrne, this emotional chapter of Spider-Man’s life finds him fighting to protect his family while his world seems to be unraveling. The cover, also by Byrne, captures the weight of his struggle.
Spider-Man returns to New York from Latveria, hoping to reconnect with Mary Jane—only to find her old manager has stolen their savings and Aunt May is being evicted. With his reputation in ruins and even J. Jonah Jameson refusing his photos, Peter’s world collapses further when he stops the Ghost from detonating a Tricorp experiment, only to be fired by Dr. Twaki. As Cassandra Locke and Terry Kwan watch from the shadows, the city’s chaos feels personal—and the cost of coming home might be more than he can bear.
