THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN 162

Descripción

Having learned the time of a prisoner transport for the creature known as Carrion, the Hobgoblin attacks the armored vehicle returning him to the facility, forcing it to crash. He quickly incapacitates the Guardsmen and rips open the back of the transport. However, one other Guardsman revives and grabs Hobgoblin in a headlock. While his back is turned the Guardsman falls victim to Carrion’s lethal touch. That’s when Hobgoblin tells him that he has come to free him. Surprisingly, Carrion had no interest in being free, having come to consider himself a mockery of life that needs to be destroyed. However, the Hobgoblin convinces Carrion to come along to eliminate the one responsible for his continued existence, Spider-Man. With Vault personnel heading their way, Hobgoblin and Carrion fly away. Several hours later, Spider-Man goes to the Four Freedoms Plaza to investigate an attack on the lab there. Examining the wreckage, Spider-Man and Mister Fantastic discover that the attacker was none other than the Hobgoblin. They also discover that the notes on Carrion and Miles Warren’s notebook had been stolen as well. Telling Reed to contact the Vault and warn them of a potential attack, Spider-Man leaves as he has pressing matters at Empire State University. Along the way he recalls how the Carrion virus was created by Miles Warren and how he destroyed the original Carrion. Recently, he discovered Warren’s old notebook, but another sample of the Carrion virus was discovered by a rival student named Malcolm McBride, who was infected by it, turning him into the new Carrion.
