Dangerous and desperate, the Owl is on the attack, and he's far from the Man Without Fear's only problem! Bullseye is back, while the Purple Man has employed his mind-control powers to torment our hero and his friends alike. It's a gritty, edge-of-your-seat saga that traps DD in the Ryker's Island prison, forcing him to fight a gauntlet of his most violent enemies. The personal drama is no less captivating: After Heather Glenn discovers Matt Murdock is Daredevil, she blames him for her father's death, sending Matt into a tailspin. It won't get any easier when his old flame, the Black Widow, returns.

eter Parker and Dr. Curt Connors (a.k.a. the Lizard) have always shared a unique bond. Both men of science, but one gifted with powers while the other was cursed. Only together can these sometimes allies, sometimes adversaries survive the unstoppable Iguana. Then, in a two-part Annual extravaganza, comes Doc Ock! All the while, Peter's increasingly on edge. The bizarre horror of the Swarm and a battle with Morbius the Living Vampire do little to help. Then, the emergence of the Schizoid Man pushes him over the line. And on the other side is the Spider-Lizard! Can our mutated hero surivive? He'd better, or he won't be able to team up with the FF against the Frightful Four!
