Synopsis
Phil begins his chemotherapy and starts to work on his sequel to Marvels. He tries to stay positive about his super heroic subjects but finds the tone of the world growing darker as the good guys seem to be a little morally ambiguous. After watching Spider-Man allow the Hitman to fall from the Statue of Liberty to his death, Phil is overcome and passes out.
