From the introduction:
Spider-man. Spider-man. Back in amazing form like never before. It’s a world that seems so familiar, yet so fresh, even to those who’ve followed NYC’s biggest hero for years and years. And now you’ve arrived, ready to join in this shining place of heroism.
It’s 2018 and things are pretty good right now. Spider-man is a veteran hero, having helped this city out for almost a decade now. The avengers come by now and then, when they’re not busy saving the world elsewhere, and New York City has it’s usual population of do gooders and bad guys, from the super sort like Luke Cage and The Rhino to the every day guys, like those just trying to give a helping hand or the people that’d mug you for a quick buck. In this melting pot of a city, things are slowly brewing towards a meltdown.
