The Jonah Trade

The Scorpion gets another new tail also made by Justin Hammer ,and kidnaps esteemed publisher J Jonah Jameson. Just like in the previous Issue when the Tarantula wanted to trade Father Lopez for Spider-Man , this time it is Jameson for Spider-Man. Peter adjusts his spider tracer which normally alerted his spider sense,to signal a circuit board. The Black Cat and Spider-Man team up to fight the Scorpion. He is defeated when Black Cat rips open the back of his costume exposing wires and then throws him into a swimming pool. MD. Elias Wirtham seemingly saves a patient's life at his hospital in Midtown. The Scorpion manages to escape though. This leaves Spider-Man with some unanswered questions and he decides to make a trip to Doctor Turner's office, where he finds nothing left.
