Synopsis
Spider-Man watches as the authorities pull Hobgoblin's wrecked battle van from the Hudson River. When the van is stolen in broad daylight, Spider-Man tracks it down and finds it has been taken by Jack O' Lantern. Spider-Man battles Jack but this causes him to miss a dinner set up by Nathan where he was supposed to be making nice with Aunt May who is still furious over Peter dropping out of school.
