Peter and Harry Osborn (er.. Lyman, now) prepare to host a fundraiser for the Uncle Ben foundation when who shows up but Mary Jane - and on the arm of Tony Stark. The two titans of industry share a few quips when suddenly Ghost shows up. Of course it compels Iron Man and Spider-Man to also make an appearance, and their battle essentially revolves around the two heroes trying to outdo each other. After awhile they realize the only way to beat him is to team up, so they do so. Eventually Pete gets hurt that Tony's one liners that he lifted from him turn out to be a bigger viral YouTube hit. The good news though is that the supervillain is captured and everyone can get on with their lives.
Meanwhile back at New York's most secure prison, the Cellar, Augustus Roman from Empire Unlimited meets with Betty Brandt from the Daily Bugle. While she's impressed with the prison's security measures, she's wondering about the ability for them to reform the criminals. As she's leaving we see Roman encapsulating the Ghost in a red gelatinous goop. As he asks his assistant how many pods are still available, it's revealed to be none, and so Roman suits up as his evil alter ego, Regent, with plans to attack the Avengers.
Decent issue. I enjoyed it. This launches the Regent storyline and it's quite enjoyable. Plus appearances by Mary Jane, where can you go wrong. I'd give it a 8/10.
