In the dead of night, Doctor Keith Harris is startled by a visit from his shaken childhood friend, Oliver, who shows him disturbing photographs of an otherworldly entity attacking a homeless man.

Spider-Boy #13 – First appearance of Hulkette, one of the new Champions, as well as Spider-Girl’s origin makes this one very interesting.
