Toyfare: The Toy Magazine #131
In a wild crossover twist, Nova's obsession with arcade prowess leads him to try recruiting Spider-Man—only to resort to drastic measures when the hero refuses. After drugging him and stealing his suit, Nova forces Spider-Man through a bizarre Nova Corps orientation, but the web-slinger makes a break for it, fleeing through a bathroom window and landing on the brutal battleground of Planet Hulk. A high-stakes, offbeat adventure from a 2008 issue of Toyfare, featuring a cast of writers including Zach Oat, Justin Aclin, and Jon Gutierrez.
