The gauntlet rages on as Peter Parker meets the new VULTURE! Who is he? Why does he prey on the city's criminals? And what extreme circumstance could possibly make Spider-Man even consider allying with a creature this deadly? And if that's not bad enough, Fred Van Lente and Joe Quinones bring Spider-Man face-to-face with MORBIUS, The Living Vampire! Plus, since losing his legs in service to his country, Flash Thompson's not been deterred by his physical limitations. But even a hero can have his limits.
