Description

The Spectacular Spider- Man # 249 July 23, 1997
"Into the Light" pg 11
Writer: Mark Bernardo
Pencils: Luke Ross
Inks: Dan Green

Kraven the Hunter has come to a cemetery to reflect on the past. As he turns to leave, Kraven senses someone watching him and tells them to show themselves. It turns out to be Calypso. Thinking that this man is her former love, she is not surprised to see him alive and well especially after her own recent brush of death. When she tries to kiss him, Kraven shoves her aside, telling her that the Kraven she knew is dead and that the path he walks is one that he walks alone.

In Manhattan, Peter Parker has taken his wife out to dinner. She explains that she is tired of Peter always being on the run either as Spider-Man, or to sell photos for the Daily Bugle as Peter Parker. More importantly, she is concerned that yet another villain -- the Chameleon -- has discovered Peter's secret identity. Although she understands what she accepted about Peter when they got married, she wonders what his responsibility to her is.

In Hoboken, New Jersey, Flash Thompson is shooting hoops when he is joined by his sister Jessie. The reunion is a happy one, and Flash gets his sister up-to-date on what's going on with his life. Things begin going sour when Flash tries to talk to Jessie about their father, Harrison. However, Jessie isn't interested in talking about their father and wants to leave his alcoholism and abuse in the past. Flash tries to push the issue, telling her that he can't let go of the past and that it still haunts him. That's when Jessie realizes that her brother is drunk. All she can say to Flash is to stop going down this road of self-destruction, warning him that this is exactly what happened to their father. As she storms away, Flash begs her to come back, but Jessie wants nothing to do with him. Meanwhile, Peter and Mary Jane are heading to Serendipity to get dessert before they go and see a movie. When Peter starts complaining in the rain, Mary Jane decides to make it fun by suggesting they frolicked in the downpour like Gene Kelly. Their merriment is interrupted by screams and they see some feral looking man running and leaping across traffic. It's too dark to get a good look at the figure, but Peter knows he has to go after this person as Spider-Man. Although Mary Jane doesn't want him to go, she quickly relents. However, Peter assures her that he will be back in time for them to see the movie.

Quickly changing into Spider-Man, Peter feels bad for leaving his wife to play hero again. He dismisses the whole situation as another one of the Chameleon's manipulations. When Spider-Man finally catches up with the wild-man on a nearby rooftop he is shocked to discover that it is John Jameson and wonders what happened to him. Jameson attacks him with the fury of a wild animal. Spider-Man deduces that somehow, his Man-Wolf identity has come out, but without becoming the monster. Back on the rooftops, Spider-Man struggles to keep John Jameson under control and prevent him from harming himself. Unfortunately, John won't allow himself being restrained without a fight. With no other choice, Spider-Man knocks John out in order to stop him. That's when Doctor Ashley Kafka arrives and explains that she accidentally unleashed John's Man-Wolf personality through hypno-therapy. She then convinces the wall-crawler to help her bring John back to her place so she can reverse the process.

As Spider-Man goes to help Ashley, Mary Jane waits at the theater for her husband. When Peter doesn't show up, she is not surprised. While in Hoboken, Flash Thompson is driving home after a night of heavy drinking. As he swerves all over the road, he complains to himself how everyone thinks that he is nothing but a drunk now, and how he misses the glory days when he was the captain of the high school football team. He is so distracted, Flash barely has to swerve out of the way when a boy and his dog crosses the street. Although he manages to avoid hitting the kid, Flash's car hydroplanes and crashes into a tree. When the boy rushes to the wreck to see if the driver is okay, he discovers that Flash is unconscious inside. Betty Brant has called the NYPD because Norman Osborn showed up at the property. Jonah is upset, even when Betty reminds him how Osborn caused a lot of damage to the city room in the past. Jonah is furious that Betty would do this, telling him that Norman Osborn has every reason to be at the Bugle. This comes to a shock to everyone, but Norman tells them that as of this morning he owns the Daily Bugle.

Love the mood swings of this page, from surprise, to reverie, to shock, to wonder and fear. Congrats!
