“December”

In "December," Jonathan Hickman and Marco Checchetto deliver a tense, emotionally charged chapter where the warmth of the Parker family’s Christmas is shattered when Mary Jane uncovers a chilling truth: Peter is gone, replaced by an uncanny A.I. imitation. As the holiday cheer fades, Kraven holds the real Peter and Harry Osborn hostage, setting the stage for a confrontation that could redefine everything.
