First Line: If you missed our last ish because you were orbiting Earth on a space ship (the only acceptable reason for a true Spidophile's copping out), all we need tell you is that Spidey has been captured...
Synopsis: Spider-Man battles the Green Goblin. While battling, an explosion erases the last several years of Norman Osborn's memory, reverting him to his pre-Green Goblin state.
