Falling is second nature to me. Gravity’s my natural enemy. I close my eyes and the din of the city rises before me. Yeah, yeah… second nature. The wind hits me and I dig my fingers into the wall. Whew… just… just one push. One little push and I hit the air, wind ripping through my ears, diving down, down, down! My arm lashes out and the web shoots out, swinging forward with my weight.

The world rushes by below me, my body knowing what to do. The air, the sun, the blue sky. Tears sting my eyes from behind the goggles I’m wearing. I’m limitless. I’m unstoppable! My throat rips out a cry of…

“YEAHAHAHAHAAAA!” I scream, flipping and swinging out into Times Square, landing near one of the billboards. I break into a weird, jerky dance. Until my body seizes and I clack down onto the roof with my Sense buzzing and getting overwhelmed.

Jack Parker is the last person anyone would expect to be a Spider, now thrust into the role as one going up against the fearsome machinations of the Shocker, Rhino, Scorpion, and Big Wheel with the heroic Gold Goblin and morally dubious Black Cat. All while trying to keep it all a secret from his parents and do his college classes without drawing much suspicion.
