In "Gauntlet Origins: Vulture," May grapples with the growing tension between her dual life as Spider-Girl and her responsibilities as a guardian to April, while a city-wide gang war escalates around them. With April defying Mary Jane and May facing the consequences of her past actions, tensions peak when she’s arrested by Captain Ruiz—just as the Vulture’s shadow looms over their lives. Written by Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz, with art by Ron Frenz and inks by Sal Buscema, this issue delivers a grounded, character-driven story anchored in personal stakes. The cover by Jelena Djurdjevic captures the moment’s intensity with striking precision.
