Spider-Man: Black Suit & Blood #4 offers three more tales of Spider-Man in his black costume, although none of the trio of stories collected in the fourth and final issue include the symbiote. My favorite of the stories, "Past Lives," takes place long after Peter's time with the symbiote and his return to the classic red and blue costume. However, when he needs to break into the Latverian embassy and doesn't feel right doing it in his classic colors, he reprises the black look once more while also hitting up Black Cat for help harkening back to a specific time in Peter Parker's life.
The final two stories are a bit more melancholy. In "The Achilles Shield" one of Parker's professors becomes trapped in his own indestructible invention and begins robbing for funding to find a way out leading to an unfortunate showdown with the police from which Spider-Man can't save him. "In the Mind of a Master" a member of Doc Ock's old gang obsessed with the past is killing people and dressing them up in Spidey's red-and-blue costume.
