After their wild dimension hopping adventure, Jefferson and his son Miles aka Spider-Man make a phone call to his mom but she doesn't answer. He leaves a message and they go for dinner. Jefferson asks Miles about his Spider-Girl love interest, and they share a quick Father-Son talk before Bendis has to throw an SJW jab in, thinking Miles was in love with Ganke. They take off, planning to sneak back into their respective homes keeping Rio in the dark.
Jefferson quietly enters the house and finds his wife sitting in the living room asking if Miles is with him. They hear a noise in his bedroom and she calls out to him, ordering him to come out now. He walks in and she shows him a formula for his web fluid she found. She demands answers - her husband and son mysteriously disappear and in addition to the fluid, she finds a mystery phone of her husbands. He tells her he's working for SHIELD again. She asks why and he says it was because he was worried about Miles. She looks at her son and he removes his shirt. Clinging to the ceiling, he reveals to her that he's Spider-Man. She asks how long it's been going on and he tells her a couple of years. Enraged, she accuses Jefferson of lying to her all this time.
Miles explains to her that he kept it from her because anyone who knows is in danger. He apologizes and Jefferson tells her not to go to her mother with this info. She tells him he no longer can make those demands. She's just gonna tell everyone he cheated on her, which is about all the same.
Meanwhile back at the dorm, Miles listens in as Ganke watches youtube videos trolling Spidey. Disgusted, he gets up just as Fabio Medina stops by with an army of pizzas left over from a social. They discuss the events that just took place which essentially ties in everything from a few issues back. A page later, a nefarious figure sits talking to his henchmen about there being too many superheroes ruining their plans. He especially refers to Spider-man. And back at Jerfferson's apartment, the super mysterious cell phone rings. A SHIELD operative informs him Maria Hill is no longer with the organization and all of her operations are suspended. The phone disintegrates and with that, he's no longer a secret agent.
The issue concludes with Danika the viral youtube Spider hater walking down the halls of the school. There Ganke stops to say hello and with that, this storyline is over.
I've been a fan of Brian Michael Bendis for a long time. The only irritating thing with him is that you better plan on doing a lot of reading. He's got to be one of the most banal and long winded writers out there. I understand his employment with Guardians of the Galaxy is coming to an end. I really wouldn't mind seeing someone take control of Miles Morales' destiny as well. For now though, I guess we're stuck with him. I give this one a 7/10.
