Spider-Man #59 (1990 McFarlane Series)
CROSSFIRE PART 2 – THE FURUTE IS NOW.
Standing before the ruins of Manhattan, Spider-Man demands to know what Judas Traveller has done to the city. However, Traveller states that he did nothing to cause this, that this is a possible future that is the fault of Spider-Man. The wall-crawler refuses to believe it, but Traveller assures him that this is not an illusion, but what is yet to come. Swinging among the ruins, Spider-Man is horrified by the sight of all the death and destruction. However, he’s not surprised that this might be what happened, considering all the things that have been happening in his life recently. The web-slinger arrives at the apartment that he shares with his wife, Mary Jane, and discovers that it is still intact. When he calls out to her, a powerful wind picks up drowning out his voice. Judas Traveller catches up with him and tells the hero that he could have prevented all of this from happening. At the snap of a finger, the pair is brought back to the present. Judas then warns Spider-Man once again that that was what may become and tells Spider-Man that he can stop this future from happening. Meanwhile, Jacob Raven arrives at Once Police Plaza where his appearance causes even the most seasoned police officer to stop dead in their tracks. He arrives at the office of Connor Trevane, who promptly ends his phone call because he is shocked that half of Jacob’s face is horribly burned. Jacob has come to Connor to tell him that they have arrested the wrong man. Despite the fact that they have overwhelming evidence that Peter Parker killed his partner years earlier, his recent encounter with Kaine — which resulted in the burns on his face — have convinced him that Parker is innocent. Connor finds this difficult to believe that they arrested the wrong guy person. Still, Jacob intends to clear Peter Parker’s name and needs Connor’s help to do it. Back out front of the Parker residence, Spider-Man refuses to allow himself to be manipulated by Judas Traveller. However, Traveller insists that what he is telling the wall-crawler is true and tries to leave. However, Traveller suddenly appears on the rooftop next to him and presses the matter. He warns Spider-Man that events have already been set into motion that will see the destruction of Manhattan, provided Spider-Man does nothing. Traveler provides the web-slinger with an ultimatum: Take his wife and flee the city, sacrificing everyone in order to wipe away everyone who has been making his life
