SPOILER WARNING: This article contains spoilers for "Spider-Woman" #13, which is on sale now.

We don't see Roger's convo with his boss play out; next we see him, he's excitedly taking over one of Jessica's late night patrol shifts. "Pretty cool Jess is finally lenaing on me a little more," he says while standing proudly on a rooftop. "Letting a night shift go for once." Roger excitedly proclaims that "ol' Porcupine is on the case," but his friend Ben Urich wants to talk to him. See, Ben's a reporter and he's seen all the signs; he knows Porcupine's kind of in love with Spider-Woman.

Unfortunately for the both of them, their heart-to-heart is cut short when a gang of supervillains descends upon them. It turns out, no criminal cuts ties with "the boss" that easily.

Now, a number of different criminals have taken on the Hobgoblin identity over the years and it's not yet known which criminal is under this mask. However, it's probably safe to assume that it's the first Hobgoblin Roderick Kingsley, as he's also the one that was active most recently in the late 2014 event "Avengers vs. X-Men: AXIS."

With Roger beaten up and his Porcupine suit damaged, Hobgoblin easily ties him up and, well, it's not good...

The issue concludes with Ben, having slipped away from the destruction unnoticed, arriving at Jessica's apartment where she was enjoying a night in with her son. He's visibly shaken and unable to get the words out, leaving Spider-Woman to ask the heartbreaking question, "Where's Roger?" As far as readers know, Roger's dead.

The story continues in "Spider-Woman" #14, which arrives on December 28.
