Web-head Stalwarts Fred Van Lente and Barry Kitson bring you the tragic case of Curt Connors - while Zeb Wells and Xurxo Penalta gives a preview of his synapse-shattering return later this year in the pages of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN! Meanwhile, in the Spectacular Spider-Girl, a brand new era is born for Mayday Parker as she finally gets through to her clone, April - and just in time, as a Mob War EXPLODES - and Midtown High is caught in the crossfire!
