Release Date: November 1986
Highlights
- First appearance of Annie Simms, Mary Simms, Scotland Yard member, John Bartlett, and IRA members, Sean Dunne, Paddy, and Patrick
- First appearance of the Dorchester Hotel, and Tante Clare restaurant
- Classic Marvel 25th Anniversary cover
- The story picks up from the last, with Joy Mercado, and Peter Parker arriving in Europe, there on assignment for Now Magazine
- Terrorists bomb the airport, killing several people, but missing their target, leading them to open fire with automatic weapons
- To get them through security, Peter has dismantled his web shooters, and secured them in his camera case
- As he frantically reassembles them during the attack, he thinks about redesigning them to be passable through metal detectors
- After dinner, Joy heads out on a secret mission to purchase information on Roxxon Corporation, a story thread continuing from Web Of Spider-Man 17
- Spider-Man, on the other hand, heads to the prison to get information from one of the shooters at the airport
- Spider-Man follows the leads of the prisoner to IRA's headquarters, but as he prepares to attack the police show up gunshots ring out
- While most are captured, Scotland yard notes that some got away through an underground passage
- The next day at the event he and Joy are there to report on, Peter puts two and two together, and heads to the sewers outside of parliament
- Inside the sewers, the remaining IRA members are setting up explosives
- Spider-Man stops them, but in the process, Dunne blows himself up on a grenade
- Joy and Peter want to follow the mystery to Ireland, but know Jonah wouldn't be happy
- After hearing that a six-year old girl, who was shot at the airport during the opening events, has died, the two surmise that Dublin is nice this time of year
- It's a bit too political for my liking
- I like my super heroes fighting super villains, not terrorists
- Real life relatable subject matters suck the escapism purpose out of comics for me
- A real shame because I really needed that aspect at present
Oddities
- None
