In "Lo, This Monster," Spider-Man confronts the towering Man-Monster, a hulking threat terrorizing a political rally for candidate Richard Raleigh. When the crowd is in danger and the roof begins to collapse, Spider-Man must act fast—only to find himself entangled in a mystery deeper than a simple attack, with the enigmatic Doctor Thaxton pulling unseen strings.
