Carlie confronts Vin and he and his partner reveal that many NYPD cops from their precinct are planting the tracers on dead bodies to frame Spider-Man in a smear campaign to turn public opinion against him. He states that they are tired of him getting away with vigilante justice. Carlie claims to want in but then turns them into their captain Sergeant Palone, who unknown to her is the leader of the conspiracy. He later has Vin arrested as the sole suspect as Vin's precinct killed Bookie, who solved the murders first. While trapped in Rykers, Spider-Man learns that Vin is also at Rykers and about to be attacked by several inmates due to his career as a policeman and breaks out of his cell to protect his friend and roommate, and then breaks them both out of prison. At the election day, another battle between Spider-Man and Menace ensues. Just as Menace is about to finish off Spider-Man, Harry shoots her with the vial, which is an antidote that returns her to normal form. He saves Spider-Man from the crowd and leaves. Lily is incarcerated, but later escapes, leaving Harry her ring and a note. Though he wins the election, Bill Hollister voluntarily refuses to accept the position as Mayor, since the truth about his daughter's secret activities has become public knowledge. Vin arrests Palone, and agrees to identify the officers involved in the Spider-Tracer conspiracy, but gets a light punishment of being fired from the NYPD and a six-month sentence in prison for his involvement. Reception IGN gave the first issue 6.8 out of 10 and the second issue an 8.6. See also Spider-Man: Brand New Day New Ways to Die References
