Even after working with the Fantastic Four and taking down Tombstone and the Scorpion, Peter still feels somewhat troubled and is having difficulty dealing with his personal issues.
Currently as Spider-Man, he is facing a Russian criminal who uses a type of armor that serves as a second skin and is called Rhino. Meanwhile, a new criminal emerges, a figure dressed as a goblin who flies over the skies of New York on a glider, carrying out several attacks. As if that weren't enough, several crimes, robberies, and assaults have begun to occur in the city, much to the delight of JJ Jameson, since the culprit is none other than Spider-Man. This pits not only the media and the public, but the superhero community itself against the arachnid hero, causing Peter to be confronted by some of New York's heroes.
This should be Peter's biggest concern in life: understanding what is happening, who is impersonating him, and how to prove his innocence. Not to mention the madman dressed as a goblin. But his mind can only think about the scene he witnessed during a chase with the Green Goblin: his best friend Gwen Stacy, on a date with his friend Harry. This affects Peter more than he'd like to admit, leaving him confused as to why, while trying to understand his feelings he realizes how much he has truly ignored his friends and his personal life as Peter Parker.
