Police Commissioner Kirkpatrick lies dead. His wife grieves, and a twisted killer stalks the city. The Spider has inadvertently set into motion the chain of events that leads to his friend's death, and now he's out for bloody vengeance - Spider style! But will Richard Wentworth be able to resist the grieving window when she's the woman he loves? It's a game-changing issue of the neo-pulp sensation.

Note: The cover of this issue incorrectly show Colton Worley as the artist. Worley had left the series after issue #6 to be replaced by Ivan Rodriguez but the cover had already gone to press by this time.
