Marvel Chronology Project

The only breaks in PPTSS 54 are a “that night” and a “some time later.” However, the entire issue Spider-Man is looking for Goliath, and the “some time later” at the end of the issue, Spider-Man is still eating the take out with the police that he got before the “some time later” (meaning, this can’t be where the break is). So unless Spider-Man stopped his search for Goliath in PPTSS 54 to chat with Blackbyrd in PPTSS 52, I’m not seeing a reason to have a split in PPTSS 54.

Also, we’re missing a flashback in PPTSS 54 that occurs right before the main story for Goliath and Keating.
