Summary
The issue serves as a brief recap of the events that have been happening in Peter Parker's life over the years. He meets up with his old friends, talks to the students in his class, and goes on a brief Spider-Man adventure.

Plot
We open on Peter in a classroom, writing his name on a chalkboard. Peter turns to his students. None of them are paying attention to Peter except for one, who is squinting at him. The squinting child raises their hand. The girl excitedly turns to the rest of the class. The students instantly start paying attention to him. The class erupts into cheers. Cut to after class. Peter is in his Spider-Man suit running on buildings and swinging through the city. Peter swings into a massive parade that has Spider-Man themed balloons and is styled with his colors. Peter lands on a massive stage and everybody cheers for him when he does. He grabs the microphone. They cheer again. A group of people in black suits and gas masks wielding guns burst in. Peter webs the masked leader and flies into him, kicking him to the ground before quickly webbing the other masked terrorist's guns and webbing their legs together so they trip. A truck flies in behind Peter and instantly crashes into him, though all it does it destroy itself from hitting him. The terrorists inside are unconscious. Peter crouches down to the masked leader's face. Peter gets up and faces the crowd. There's a moment of awkward silence. Peter is shown out of costume again returning home to a small apartment. A garbage bag is thrown at Peter. Flash Thompson is seen sitting on a couch playing a game. Peter looks at him with pure hate. Peter turns and sees Cindy Moon. Peter and Cindy go quiet and look at Flash. The silence is broken by Peter's phone beeping. It's revealed the crime in progress is the masked terrorists attacking the Alchemax building. Peter shows the phone to Cindy. Peter runs out the door. Peter's seen in his costume swinging towards the Alchemax building. Harry Osborn is shown in the CEO's office. Harry pushes a button to talk to his secretary over the intercom. Harry looks incredibly shocked to hear his name. Peter walks into Harry's office holding an unconscious terrorist. Peter stands in silence before leaving. Later, he's seen still in the Spider-Man outfit eating french fries at a diner. The waitress puts some food in front of him. The waitress is revealed to be Mary Jane Watson. Mary Jane looks at Peter. Mary Jane's words are seen over images of a supervillain suiting up. The villain pops razer-sharp claws. Jets on the villain's back activate and he starts floating. A close-up on the villain's face reveals he is the Vulture. Cut back to Peter in the diner.
 * Peter: Welcome back class, I'm your teacher for this semester, my name is Mr. Parker. But, between you and me, you can just call me Peter.
 * Peter: Yes, do you have a question?
 * Blond Girl: Aren't you the "pictures of Spider-Man" guy?
 * Peter: Well... I've done a lot more than that, but yes I guess I am.
 * Blond Girl: What...?
 * Blond Girl: This is the pictures of Spider-Man guy!!
 * Peter: Uh... yes, I'm a former photographer at the Daily Bugle and I mainly took pictures of Spider-Man while there!
 * Black-Haired Boy: What?!
 * Ginger Girl: That's AWESOME!
 * Peter: I'm aware, heh...
 * Bald Boy: So, do you, like... know Spider-Man?
 * Peter: Spider-Man's an acquaintance of mine, yes.
 * Large Boy: Cool!
 * Short Girl: Is he nice?
 * Peter: He's very nice.
 * Blond Girl: Spider-Man's saved all of us at one point, you know.
 * Peter: Huh?
 * Blond Girl: Tony over there's parents were almost in a car crash and Spider-Man stopped the cars before anything bad could happen. Maria there used to be in a street gang but after a talk from Spider-Man, she realized what she was doing and quit. And me... I used to be an addict... But after Spider-Man found me cold and shaking on the streets, he talked to him. He got me the help I needed. All of us have been helped by Spider-Man, Peter.
 * Peter: Hm... you know, I do still have his number... maybe tomorrow he could pay you a visit!
 * Blond Girl: Wah... you serious?
 * Peter: Do I look like I'm joking?
 * Peter (narration): My name is Peter Parker.
 * Peter (narration): I am the sensational Spider-Man! You probably know the story at this point: radioactive spider bite, power and responsibility, yadda yadda yadda. You know, for the longest time I wasn't sure if being Spider-Man was for me. People would yell at me, throw stuff at me, even host protests against me. But now everybody knows it. Everybody knows that I'm one of the good guys.
 * Peter (narration): Now everybody loves Spider-Man!
 * Peter: Thank you! Thank you! You're all too kind, thank you! Now, ladies and gentlemen, welcome one and all to the first-ever SPIDER-MAN PARADE!
 * Peter: That's right, a parade hosted in my honor! I'll be honest, when I was just a dumb kid from Queens I never thought anything like this could ever happen. But, after all these years and after all the stuff I've done, I know for a fact that the world loves Spider-Man. And I just wanted to say--
 * ???: On the ground!
 * Peter: Huh?
 * Masked Leader: Get on the ground Spider-Man right now or I swear to god I will start blowing all of these people away!
 * Peter: It appears we have been hijacked by anti-Spider-Man terrorists. One sec, everyone.
 * Peter: Any more?
 * Peter: Any more now...? No? alright, great.
 * Peter: I don't get why guys like you keep coming to fight me. I mean, come on, man, I can take a truck to the face now! Why do you think you can beat me?
 * Peter: So... uh... I... I do believe I've forgotten the rest of my speech...
 * Peter: Food stands are over there, there're three guys wandering around that give people balloons of my face, and if you want something signed I'll be sitting at the front gate for an hour or two. That everything I needed to say...? Yeah, I think so.
 * Peter (narration): So yeah, everything's coming up Spidey when it comes to hero work but when it comes to Peter Parker...
 * ???: Take this out.
 * Peter (narration): Not so much...
 * Peter: This is your garbage.
 * Flash: And?
 * Peter: So you should take it out... Also, it's your turn to clean the dishes, your bed's STILL just a mattress and nothing else, and that chicken you bought a month ago is so rancid at this point that I think it'd somehow willed itself back to life from how much of an abomination it is...
 * Flash: How is any of that my problem?
 * Peter (narration): Flash Thompson, everybody. He was my bully in high school and now I'm forced to share an apartment with him... He's been a soldier, a war hero, a government agent, and now all he does is play video games and go out every other month to do hero work as Agent Venom...
 * ???: Petey!
 * Peter (narration): But then there's this apartment's saving grace.
 * Peter (narration): Cindy Moon. A woman bit by the same spider as me who actually helps around the apartment. She also doubles as the hero Silk but she hasn't really gotten to my level yet.
 * Cindy: Big news, Petey! I got the chicken out of the fridge!
 * Peter: Hell yeah!
 * Flash: I was going to eat that...
 * Cindy: When?
 * Flash: Soon...
 * Cindy: It was sticking to the edges of the fridge, Flash.
 * Flash: ...What's your point?
 * Peter (narration): That's my Avengers Wave. It was made by Tony Stark and helps show me whenever there's a crime in progress that I need to take care of. Every reserve Avenger has it!
 * Peter: Oh crap...
 * Cindy: Oh crap...
 * Flash: "Oh crap" what? What's going on?
 * Peter: Oh, uh... see, there's a...
 * Cindy: Meeting!
 * Peter: Yes, I have a meeting with the principal of Midtown! he's...
 * Cindy: Checking on him!
 * Peter: He's checking on me and the other teachers! See, every so often he likes to have meetings with teachers to see how they're doing in class and since this is my first day he really wants to know how it went! I forgot to go so he texted me and now I gotta leave, bye!
 * Flash: Wow, poor Pete... I think there might be something wrong with his memory, he really needed your help to remember all that stuff...
 * Peter (narration): I thought it was weird that those guys went after a parade for no reason! Now I get it, it was a distraction so that they could go through with their attack on Alchemax! I gotta get in their fast before they reach the CEO's office. Cause the CEO...
 * Peter (narration): Is my best friend...
 * Harry: Liz, how far are they up?!
 * Liz: They're halfway up sir! We... we don't know how to stop them! They've taken several officers hostage!
 * Harry: Crap! how the hell are we--
 * Liz: Wait... Harry, it's lightening up...
 * Harry: Huh...?
 * Liz: The officers have been set free and it's apparently safe enough to send more in...
 * Harry: What's happening...?
 * Liz: I don't know, Harry... it's... oh my god... Harry, it's Spider-Man!
 * Liz: He's helping the hostages and taking down the terrorists! He's making his way up to talk to you right now!
 * Harry: Spider-Man...
 * Peter: And with that, I think I've taken care of all of them! Good to see ya, Mr. Osborn!
 * Harry: I wish I could say the same, Spider-Man...
 * Peter: We're... still not on good terms, are we?
 * Harry: You've done great things, Spider-Man... you've helped hundreds, if not thousands of people. You've contributed to charity. You've defeated countless supervillains and saved the city time and time again. And even now you've done another heroic act by saving my life... But I can never forgive you, Spider-Man. I can never forgive you for the murder of my father...
 * Peter: Harry, I know you're upset, but you have to understand, I didn't kill him! He was trying to kill me and he killed himse--
 * Harry: Don't you dare call me by my first name. Only my friends get to do that, Spider-Man. And you will never be one of my friends.
 * Peter: Mr. Osborn, listen, I--
 * Harry: Shut up. Thank you for the help, Spider-Man. Now, please... get out of my sight...
 * Peter (narration): You know, sometimes I get so caught up on the whole "hero" thing that I forget some people still really don't like me... I mean, it's not my fault that Osborn died. The man impaled himself on his own glider, I had nothing to do with it... right? Yeah, right! I.. I didn't do anything! Did I...?
 * Waitress: Order up, Spider-Man.
 * Peter: Oh, I didn't order anything, I only asked for the fries.
 * Waitress: Don't worry.
 * Mary Jane: This one's on the house.
 * Peter: Mary Jane?! oh my god, it's been so long! You're a waitress now?!
 * Mary Jane: Unfortunately... I'm trying to get back into modeling but, you know, I do still need a job while I'm trying to get back into the industry.
 * Peter: Well, hell, what've you been up to?
 * Mary Jane: Not much. Did an interview here and there after we broke up about what it's like to date you. I've been getting a lot of requests to do an interview with Supes Monthly.
 * Peter: Oh, don't do that.
 * Mary Jane: Yeah, those guys take everything out of context... Like, according to last month's magazine Tony Stark is in the closet.
 * Peter: What? One of the main things about the guy is that he likes women!
 * Mary Jane: According to them chasing so many women is a sign of being gay.
 * Peter: How does...?
 * Mary Jane: I don't know either.
 * Peter: Man, it's great to see you again, MJ. I can't believe we just ran into each other like this! You look great by the way.
 * Mary Jane: Same to you.
 * Peter: Man, why did we ever break up?
 * Peter: Oh... oh yeah, that's why... b-but I'm stronger now! you don't have to worry about me anymore! I mean, I just took down a bunch of fully armed terrorists just an hour ago!
 * Mary Jane: Spidey... listen... I know you feel stronger, but you have to understand.
 * Mary Jane (voice-over): They're stronger too... All those guys you fought while we were together, they've been learning, growing, and getting more experience...
 * Mary Jane (voice-over): That's why I couldn't stop worrying about you. Because every time it seemed like you beat the bad guys for good, they found a way of coming back even more powerful.
 * Mary Jane (voice-over): And, even now, that fact terrifies me...
 * Peter (voice-over): Oh please...
 * Peter: How much stronger could they possibly get?
