“Free Will”

In "Free Will," Spider-Man faces his most twisted challenge yet as the menacing Dragon Man, now mind-controlled by Harrow’s sinister device, wreaks havoc. With odds stacked against him and his powers still out of reach, Spidey must rely on an unlikely ally—Will o' the Wisp—while a startling turn in the life of Mr. Parker shakes his world. Written by Todd DeZago and brought to life by Sal Buscema’s pencils and John Stanisci’s inks, this 1996 issue delivers a tense, character-driven showdown with a twist that redefines what it means to be Spider-Man. Cover by Sal Buscema and John Stanisci.

Boy, things don't look so promising for Spidey winning this one, huh? Dragon Man's loose... and this time, the big purple guy is under the control of Harrow's insidious device. Can a severly outgunned Spider-Man count on his foe Will o' the Wisp to back him up? Plus, a shocking development in the life of our now non-powered Mr. Parker. [per next issue box]
