Hobgoblin has blown up Green Goblin's lair and escaped in his battle van. Spider-Man makes his way into the van. It crashes into the river and explodes as Spider-Man escapes. Spider-Man tries to save Hobgoblin but is only able to find his mask. Spider-Man arrives at the Bugle and discovers that J. Jonah Jameson has already printed his crime (the creation of the Scorpion).

He is off to the Secret Wars.
