“...And Who Shall Stand Against Them...?”

In "…And Who Shall Stand Against Them…?", Spider-Man grapples with his resolve to walk away from heroics as the city's underworld fractures in the wake of the Kingpin’s disappearance. With the Blue Boy Gang, the Hobgoblin, and a power vacuum among mob bosses, Spider-Man finds himself caught in a storm he may not be ready to face—especially when a shocking confrontation on a rooftop brings the Punisher into the fray. Written by Tom DeFalco and Jim Owsley, with dynamic art by Ron Frenz and Brett Breeding, and a cover by Ron Frenz and Joe Rubinstein, this 1987 issue captures a pivotal moment in Spider-Man’s journey.

Spider-Man is still looking for Flash when he encounters the Blue Boy Gang and the Hobgoblin. Spider-Man is still determined to quit the hero business. 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.
