 "One Crazy Day"
•Deny, deny, deny. That is the tactic Peter Parker used when his co-worker and friend Miguel O'Hara confronted him about recognizing Peter as Spider-Man the night Alchemax was demolished in a super-human battle royale. Not very convincing, but he was put on the spot.
•Now Peter just has to get his mind right and figure out a better way to convince Miguel he is mistaken. A good lie. Before Miguel tells anyone else, especially Gwen. In the meantime, he has taken up jiu-jitsu as well as a transcendental meditation class. OOOOMMMMMM. How does he find the time, right? Considering he was recently fired from The Daily Bugle (see last issue) and his day job at Alchemax is put on hold while the building is being rebuilt by the Osborns (also recent issues), single Peter's afternoons have been fairly open.
•This particular afternoon, after perfecting the arm bar submission of course, Peter planned to visit Mary Jane in the Bronx, cheer her up after her latest off-off-Broadway show (Apocalypse Now - the Musical) bombed out after only three performances, counting the preview. As misfortune would have it, and it does like to follow our hero, a sinister sociopath named Madcap also has plans for the Birthplace of Hip Hop. Thanks to Madcap's hypnotic insanity-inducing gaze and an oversized boom box he's using to draw attention, the Burrough has literally gone crazy - I mean, way more than normal, even for The Bronx! It's a full scale psycho riot in broad daylight.
•Peter senses the hysteria before it hits him. But what to do with a certified madman on the loose and innocent civilians turning violent? What's more, he left his costume in his apartment. Peter has to concentrate, keep his head, and save the day as....himself. Your friendly neighborhood Parker!?! Think he'll get to test out that armbar?
•But Peter isn't the only one with lots of time on his hands. Suspicious Miguel O'Hara spent the last few hours tailing his "good buddy" from Starbucks to the gym, back to Starbucks, the subway...you get the point...and is about to witness true heroism with his own eyes. And when a friend is in need, even if that friend has been hiding a BIG secret, you help him out...with science! Peter & Miguel take on Madcap, no costumes needed.
•Plus: You won't believe who Gwen has a date with. (Spoiler Alert: It's Harry Osborn.) Which begs the question: Do girls really dig the bad boy? Find out in this Amazing new issue, Web-Heads.

 The desease he called cancer has been...tasty. Sweet, with just a pinch of death, to my palate. I feel no remorse for quickening his demise, as he was a foul creature to even my species. It is interesting, though, as to why the bond has remained. In the past, upon death of the host I have been forced to leave it. But this time...heh, this time I do believe I am wearing him . A corpse in wolf's clothing, so to speak.

This time of year, a particular war dominates the headlines more than any other and only one ace team of political pundits is voracious enough to handle the full-spectrum coverage for your favorite broadcasting family, MJV. Enter the “No Spin Zone” with “conservative” commentator Spiral and her team as they bring you all the developments in the War on Christmas! And its going to get bloody!
•Major Domo’s rating report: The only news broadcast who's viewers are actually less informed about current events than people who watch no news whatsoever, the “No Spin Zone” slumps whenever topics veer away from holidays or war.
•“Well then let's have us a holiday! And a war! I want every freakin' retail clerk who says 'Happy Holidays' conscripted! And send our team to the front-lines!”
•Rabid secularists have descended upon the North Pole, breaching outer defenses, seizing the infamous Workshop, and replacing all Christmas Trees with Holiday Ferns. It's up to the MJV pundits - Longshot, Spiral, NFL Superpro, and Screwball – to provide needed support to Nick Norris – the Son of Santa – before the war is lost and there is no Christmas this year! Violent Night, Holy $@#%!
