“Coming Home”

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 home from Latveria looking for the missing Mary Jane only to find that her old manager stole all of their money and he and Aunt May are being forced out of their apartment.
