Peter and Mary Jane have returned to New York after a stay in Portland, OR (in Spider-Man: Final Adventure) at the request of Daily Bugle publisher J. Jonah Jameson to investigate the mysterious spider-man skeleton found in last month's Return of Kaine story arc. Ben Reilly, still believing himself to be the real Spider-man, has stolen the skeleton from the city morgue in order to discover who (or what) it really is.
