“RAVAGED” by Joe Kelly, Pepe Larraz, and Federico Blee: May apparently suffers an episode that lands her in the hospital; upon waking, she doesn't recognize Peter but does recognize her son Cormac—who has just appeared out of nowhere. However, it is revealed that Cormac is actually Ravage, a villain capable of erasing memories and forging them into an aura-based sword. Spider-Man battles him while experiencing memories from his entire childhood. Cormac hates Peter because, for years, Peter "stole" his parents, killed Ben, and caused May to suffer; consequently, he wants to steal Peter's memories of being Ben and May's son. Spectacular art featuring many fast-paced, dizzying sequences. This story continues in issue #1,001.
