On a terrible day not long ago, a single bullet tore into Peter Parker's beloved Aunt May, triggering a cascade of helplessness, revenge and desperation that finally cost Peter the life he had always known and almost cost Spider-Man everything he had ever stood for. But what if the bullet had found a different target? If Spider-Man was willing to break all his rules for the woman who raised him, how far would he go for the woman he loves? "What If Mary Jane Had Been Shot Instead Of Aunt May?" Featuring Part 4 of a special five part back-up story, 'What if the Runaways Became the Young Avengers?' In this issue... Enter Kang!
