Description
"TAKING THE HITS" After being bitten by a genetically engineered spider, young Peter Parker finds that he now has incredibly enhanced strength, speed and agility. Along with the ability to adhere to any surface, a precognitive spider-sense that warns him of danger and a pair of mechanized web shooters, the idealistic teenager fights against evil as the costumed hero Spider-Man. Set during the decade of the 1990's, this is a Generation X version of the Amazing Spider-Man story. This is a time when young people believed that they had the power to change the world for the better. In order to make a difference, Peter will need to rely on his friends for help and have the courage to believe in good. (Written: May 28, 2024) LAST ISSUE: A major controversy has erupted among members of Midtown High School's Class of 1992 after they receive the results of their SAT tests. Rumors that Harry Osborn received a 1500 on the test without having actually earned that score have left many of the students feeling angry and upset. Even his girlfriend, Mary Jane Watson, has become resentful. Instead of school spirit filling the hallways of Midtown, a sense of acrimony has permeated the atmosphere. No longer content to hide in the shadows, the fearsome Hobgoblin has made his first appearance in New York City. Using the weapons and technology that made Norman Osborn a force to be reckoned with, this dangerous new villain seeks to obtain power and money at any cost. Realizing that Spider-Man is the only person that can stop him, he devises an elaborate test to assess his abilities. However, the Hobgoblin gets more than he bargained for when he and the wall crawler clash for the first time!
