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, Toad 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.
