The most-talked about story of the year keeps delivering the shocking surprises! What new and familiar enemies will rise to challenge this all-new Spider-Man? What’s the secret behind his powers, and how will he master them?

However, this is cut short when he's attacked by a costumed hero calling herself Spider-Woman, and she demands to know who he is. The following night, Miles once again goes out on patrol. Miles hides under his covers to conceal his secret identity. This prompts a teacher to enter the room for an inspection. Judge tries to enter the room but, despite dorm rules, the door is locked. Soon, however, he hears a disturbance below.Īfter Miles, exhausted from the fight with the Kangaroo, returns to his dorm, Ganke, who has already read the story on the Daily Bugle Website, comments that perhaps the costume was in bad taste after all. Miles goes on his first ever patrol of the city, enjoying the freedom he feels leaping from building to building. Ganke, having worn a Spider-Man costume for Halloween the previous year, offers it to Miles, even though it's a little too large. Miles immediately decides that he'll become the new Spider-Man, and begins sketching costume designs. He once again speaks to Gwen, who tells him that Peter did what he did because he was following his uncle's philosophy, that With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility, and that he felt responsible for his uncle's death. Later, Miles and Ganke attend Peter's funeral. Ganke suggests that perhaps he was given powers to become the next Spider-Man. Miles is struck with grief over not being able to help Spider-Man before his untimely demise, stating that if he had done more with his powers over the last few months, the real Spider-Man might still be alive. Miles sneaks through the crowd and asks a very sad looking Gwen Stacy what Spider-Man's name was, and she replies "Peter Parker". By the time Miles arrives in Queens, he watches as Spider-Man, in the arms of his Aunt May, dies. As he gets closer there's a bigger explosion. While jumping and climbing over buildings, he notices a blue electrical flash off in the distance, so he heads towards it.

Miles tells Ganke to cover for him and he sneaks out to find, and help, the wounded Spider-Man.
