Highlights

  • Apparent death of Nightmare

  • Peter wakes up, or does he? He continues to switch from suit to suit with each panel as the story progresses
  • Spider-Man follows a cry for help, only to end up back at home where the Burglar guns down not only Uncle Ben, but Aunt May, Gwen Stacy, Captain Stacy, Mary Jane, and Betty
  • Spider-Man gives chase, but when he captures the killer, it's Peter Parker, concluding that he's responsible death and tragedies that befall those he loves
  • Spider-Man finds the voice crying for help - It's Nightmare, and he pleads with Spider-Man to help stop the Hulk, who is ravaging through his realm
  • Reference is made to The Incredible Hulk 299
  • Nightmare explains that the Hulk being there is because of Doctor Strange, and that he used the last of his strength to summon Spider-Man for help
  • Spider-Man defeats the Hulk by pushing him into the realm of madness and insanity
  • After winning, Spider-Man asks Nightmare to return him home, but is told by the villain that he won't do it - He wishes to keep Spider-Man there forever as his defender
  • The Hulk reaches through a rip in the realm, grabbing Nightmare, and pulling him in with him
  • Peter awakens, surrounded by his landlady, neighbors, and the police, who responded to Mr. Muggins saying that he was shouting so loud that she thought someone was being murdered
