Items of note
- Advertised as part 3 in a 4-issue limited series.
- As one of the issues written during the period when the series was considered to be part of the mainstream Marvel universe, this installment features a guest appearance by Spider-Man in his black symbiote costume, complete with a footnote that dates the story as occurring before the issue of his own title in which he disposed of the suit.
