Best Of Enemies Peter's long lost parents have returned, though in time we would find out they were not what they seemed. Harry Osborn was imprisoned after his last fight with Spider-Man, even though he threatened to reveal Peter's secret if he turned him to the authorities. In the last issue, Peter returned home only to find Harry, Liz and Normie there. Due to lack of evidence, Harry had been released from the Vault. He sent Mark Raxton (the Molten Man), his brother-in-law, to a new job in California, probably so he couldn't interfere. He was burning in fever, but he wanted to say hello to his best friend.
After they leave Peter argues with MJ: he wants her to leave to Florida with Aunt May, she refuses and storms off. Peter pays a visit to Harry only to find out he's not home, something MJ also realises when the Green Goblin picks her up from the street and flies away.
All the while with little Normie massacring a Spider-Man doll. The kid's got serious issues.
