Spider-Man has doubted himself before , sure. But he s also never faced odds like this. One super-powered psycho he can handle, but three? Before now, he s always had his secret identity to protect him, keep his real life somehow safe and apart from his adventures as Spider-Man. It tears him apart knowing how Harry Osborn feels knowing his secret, but the fact that Harry has taken to chasing him with machetes isn t much help either. Venom seems to know his secrets too, and takes joy in exploiting them. Sandman is so tangled up in Peter s past that it sometimes seems like he s been living with the guy for years.
