"'Til Death Do Us Part!" – (22-page story) – Peter Parker is captured by the Symbiote in his Chelsea appartment and fights it throughout Manhattan whereas the Symbiote tries to take control of his mind. Meanwhile four criminals start up their super-villain careers as the Vulturions, thank to the secrets that one of them learnt from the Vulture in jail. Eventually Spider-man has to fight the Vulturions and finds out that the Symbiote is vulnerable to sound. Spidey has to let the Vulturions escape but breaks free of the Symbiote. Unfortunately the sound of a church's bells not only defeat the Symbiote but Spider-man, who lays unconscious. In the end, is the Symbiote who saves Peter's life before disappearing in the air.
