Reprints Amazing Spider-Man #41.This issues opens with Aunt May and Anna Watson in Anna's lounge room talking. Anna offers for Aunt May to move in with her, but Aunt May declines since she feels like Peter should still be looked after, even though Anna states that he's nearly twenty and is going to college. As Aunt May heads to the door to leave, Anna says she supposes that Aunt May is right, but is quietly thinking that if Peter were her nephew, she'd try to make him more independent.Meanwhile, in a shop, Peter has decided to buy a motorbike. He asks if he can finance it, and the shop owner says that if the bank approves of the loan, yes. He adds that they'll also need a credit reference, and Peter says that J.

John, however, asks what Jonah has against him. He reminds Jonah that his life was saved by Spider-Man years ago, but Jonah stubbornly says that John never needed Spider-Man's help and that he just took the credit for it. John reminds Jonah about how his capsule had lost its guidance system, and how it began plummeting to Earth. The space agency had had no way of saving him, until they gave a spare guidance system to Spidey, who commandeered a small jet, and then shot a web to the capsule to that he could re-attach the guidance system. For reasons unknown, on that day Spidey made himself scarce the moment he was back on the ground.Jonah yells at his son and tells him not to...   Also includes part 2 of a 2-part backup story featuring the X-Men's Angel.
