Issues

 * 1) "Friends We Be Part I": Peter Parker, Bobby Drake and Angelica Jones are hunted down by the villains Taskmaster, Juggernaut and Carnage, who have realized they are some of the city's toughest criminals and thus together they can kill anyone, though they are starting small.
 * 2) "Friends We Be Part II":  The heroes try to defeat the criminals by themselves, but they are all defeated by the villains. Because of this, they decide to work together to take them on.
 * 3) "Friends We Be Part III":  Spidey takes on Taskmaster while Iceman and Firestar take on Juggernaut and Carnage. Firestar realizes Carnage is weak to fire, and thus has an upper hand and Iceman tripes up Juggernaut with his ice. Spidey's fight with Taskmaster takes the longest, but eventually he manages to defeat him and all the villains are locked up. When questioned on their team name, Spider-Man calls them the "Amazing Friends" but the news says they are "Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends", upsetting Iceman and Firestar.
 * 4) "Return of Doc Ock Part I": Peter, Bobby and Anj have all started living together and going to the same school so they can hang out easier. Everything has been going well until Peter's long MIA enemy Doctor Octopus returns for his revenge.
 * 5) "Return of Doc Ock Part II": The team manage to defeat Doc Ock, but this turns out to be a part of his plan as he downloads his own consciousness in to the prison's computer and frees all the prisoners. This distracts the heroes long enough for Ock to get the hang of his new data body and take over technology all over NYC.
 * 6) "Return of Doc Ock Part III": Ock begins tearing the city apart from the inside out and has slowly begun taking over the whole of America. While trying to stop him, Spidey, Iceman and Firestar have encounters with many different supervillains.
 * 7) "Return of Doc Ock Part IV": Ock is close to taking over all of America and plans on taking over the rest of the world. However, the Amazing Friends break in to the government base Ock is currently oberating from. Realizing he can't finish his plan, he launches missiles in an attempt to kill himself and the friends. However, Iceman and Firestorm stop the missiles and Spidey breaks the mainframe, seemingly destroying Ock once and for all.
 * 8) "Days of Present Now Part I": In an alternate future, the Sentinels have taken over and wiped out nearly all humans, mutants and mutates. However, they find out there is something wrong with their timestream and their future has been split in to its own universe. Because of this they send a Nimrod Sentinel "back in time" to find out what's going on.
 * 9) "Days of Present Now Part II": The Amazing Friends are attacked by Nimrod, who appears to be completely indestructable. Spidey eventually finds out Nimrod's origins, with Iceman revealing an alternate future Kitty Pryde came back in time to warn them of Nimrod's future before disappearing. After finding this out, Spider-Man comes to a horrifying realization: once Nimrod finds this out he will kill Kitty and wipe out everyone, ensuring the alternate future comes to pass.
 * 10) "Days of Present Now Part III": The Amazing Friends team up to race the Nimrod, who has discovered the truth and plans on murdering Kitty where she stands. Both the Friends and the X-Men team up to face off against Nimrod, revealing he is much more powerful than all of them. Because of this, they come up with a plan and use Kitty as bate. Once the Nimrod is ready to kill her, she jumps out of the way, and they deflect its attacks back at it. After this, Nimrod's body has a hole blown in it and it is taken away by S.H.I.E.L.D., but while in S.H.I.E.L.D. storage, Nimrod's eyes begin to glow.
 * 11) "The Venom Dynasty Part I": While hanging out, the Amazing Friends list off some of their enemies. Anj and Bobby mention Magneto, the Brotherhood of Mutants and the Sentinels, while Peter mentions Green Goblin, the Sinister Six and Venom. Venom interest Anj and Bobby the most, as it's revealed Peter has actually been avoiding the topic for ages. Peter finally breaks down and reveals all the adventures he's been on recently that have involved Venom. After this, Eddie Brock himself is shown working out in a prison cell. He is then told to go to sleep by a prison guard, and is forced to do so when the guard claims he'll put Brock in "the box" if he doesn't do as he's told. While laying in his bed, Brock monologues, claiming that one day he will be Venom again, and once he is revenge will be his.
 * 12) "The Venom Dynasty Part II": Peter attempts to ask Mary Jane Watson out on a date, but cuts himself off when he sees something. This something turns out to be the janitor feeding what appears to be the Venom symbiote. Peter chases the symbiote, with it slithering down a drain after seeing him. A panicky Peter runs out of the school with Anj and Bobby seeing him do this while they're in class. Later, Eddie Brock is seen coming out of the shower of his prison, with a prisoner revealing he knows who Brock is. The prisoner goes on to reveal he is one of the rare inmates that is actually a fan of Spider-Man. He then goes for a punch, only for Brock to win the fight by grabbing his arm and flipping the prisoner over on to his back. Brock then turns when he hears the other prisoners in the showers screaming. Brock checks to see what's happening, revealing the water is black. Knowing what this means, Brock grins.
 * 13) "The Venom Dynasty Part III": Peter shows up at Ryker's Island, the place Eddie Brock is being held when Anj and Bobby both show up. The two reveal they claimed to be sick to chase after Peter. Peter panicks and tells both Anj and Bobby to run. When questioned on what's going on, Peter says that all they need to know is that Venom is one of his most dangerous enemies and he won't rest until Peter is dead. Never the less, the two insist on helping Peter, must to his annoyance. The two break in to Ryker's, where every inmate is panicking. It becomes clear why when Eddie Brock, now equipped with the Venom suit jumps out and begins fighting the Amazing Friends. The fight goes on for quite some time, but it ends when Venom uses his claws to stab Anj. After a bit, he throws her off his claws and escapes while Spider-Man and Iceman are in shock, claiming he has something he needs to do, but that once he does it he'll be back to kill them all.
 * 14) "The Venom Dynasty Part IV": Anj has managed to survive her encounter with Venom and is being taken care of by a group of doctors. Bobby points out that Venom isn't acting like his usual self, as from what he's heard Venom isn't a fan of stabbing people. Peter responds that Venom has been locked in jail for a full year, meaning for an entire year he was just thinking about nothing but killing Peter. Meanwhile, Venom himself is seen breaking in to a government base where the five symbiotes (Agony, Lasher, Phage, Riot, Scream) are being used by a group of government agents. Venom defeats all the agents, knocking them out. When they wake up, they are being kept in tanks, with Venom uses strange gas to cause their Symbiotes to forcefully give birth to more Symbiotes. The final scene is a shot of Venom's grin, which is so wide his green spit is leaking from his mouth. Whatever Venom has planned, he is very happy about it.
 * 15) "The Venom Dynasty Part V": Peter is searching for Venom alone, not wanting Bobby to get hurt the same way Anj was. He thinks he spots him, but it turns out to be a completely different Symbiote. At this point Peter isn't surprised by new Symbiotes showing up and begins fighting it. However, more and more Symbiotes begin appearing, with the fight ending in a booming voice telling the Symbiotes to stop. Venom himself then jumps down in front of Peter, knocking him out and throwing him in to the ocean. The next day, Bobby, worried about Peter, goes out in search of him. While looking for him, he hears screaming and checks it out, revealing a large group of Symbiotes attacking the city. Bobby does his best against them, but with each one he beats ten more take its place. And, in the end, Bobby is defeated.
 * 16) "The Venom Dynasty Part VI": Peter is revealed to be alive when he crawls in to a sewer pipe to escape the ocean. After hearing screams and seeing Symbiotes running above him, Peter comes to the logical conclusion that NYC has been overrun by Venom and his new Symbiote army. Peter slumps down to think of a plan when a small red Symbiote ooze slithers beside him. Peter is taken back at first, but it doesn't attack him so he allows it to stay there. Meanwhile, Anj wakes up hanging by her feet from a rooftop with Bobby hanging right beside her. Venom is revealed to be the one who did this, promising he won't drop them as without them he won't have bait for Spider-Man. Anj threatens to use her powers (as Symbiotes are weak to fire) but Venom calls her bluff pointing out her using her fire powers in the state she's in could kill her. He then crawls away, with Anj asking what Bobby they should do. Bobby has a simple answer: wait. Because even in the darkest of hours Peter always shows up to help. Meanwhile in the government base the five Symbiotes are being kept, all of them have been completely drained of their children, but the gas is still pumping and straining them. They all believe they are about to die, only for a mysterious man to set them free. They thank him and ask who he is. The man shines a light on himself and has a simple response: "you're friendly neighborhood Spider-Man". As he does this, it is revealed Peter has a brand new suit.
