Spencer Smythe and his Spider Slayers renew their pursuit of our favorite wall-crawler. J. Jonah Jameson makes an editorial goof that puts Spidey in even more danger! Will Spider-Man find an unexpected ally in his hour of greatest need?

Overview:
Wanted for Murder: Spider-Man!

In the previous issue, Spider-Man seemingly killed J. Jonah Jameson when J. Jonah fell off the Brooklyn Bridge. As a consequence, J. Jonah Jameson is printing an editorial about how Spider-Man's a murderer.

Peter calls up Mary Jane, since they haven't spoken for a while, and offers to go on a date with her. Mary Jane agrees, and thanks to Robbie, Peter manages to get tickets to the King Tut exhibition for the next day. Peter then changes to Spider-Man, and goes swinging.

Meanwhile, J. Jonah Jameson, in a twist of irony, goes to Spencer Smythe to ask him to build a new Spider-Slayer, not realising that Smythe was the one who sent the Man-Wolf to kill him in the previous issue. Smythe agrees to build a new Spider-Slayer, but is secretly planning his own agenda.

Spider-Man is attacked by Smythe's Spider-Slayer, which manages to tackle him to the ground. Upon Spider-Man waking up, he finds that he's been attached to the other link of the handcuff which Jonah was attached to, and that he has 24 hours until it explodes.
