A couple of local hoods sit around the safe house talking when from out of nowhere, the wall explodes and in walks Hammerhead. He introduces the room to a REAL supervillain, Black Cat, who tells them that she's gonna burn the place down as a message to their boss - a mysterious Mr. D. They all run away and she tells Hammerhead to take what they want and light it up like the 4th of July. He explains to her that she's pretty much officially declared war.
In the park, the now estranged Rio Morales meets with her son to ask a few questions. He tells her where he got his powers - a genetically altered spider. Where did a Brooklyn boy come across a genetically altered spider? Uncle Aaron. So he's not a mutant? No - but would it matter if he was? He tells her the only person who knew was Ganke because he figured it out. Still very upset, she tells him it all reminds her of a movie and she excuses herself. He runs behind her and buzzing overhead is none other than the new Iron Man, Riri Williams.
Back in the dorm room, Ganke tells Fabio how lucky he is to be a mutant and he needs to use his powers more. A restless Miles tells the two he's going out. He puts on his costume and goes swinging out the window.. even though he has a geometry test in the morning. Flying high, he stops a purse snatcher who using a knife is able to cut out of his web. He makes a break for it and Spider-Man tails him into a bar. Hit after hit and punch after punch, he eventually takes out a little more than his intended victim. Pausing for a minute, he sees the majority of the bar laid out.
Later on outside the school, we see Ganke meeting with the YouTube viral sensation who's always ragging out the new superheroes. She asks him how he knows things and he says he can't say. She agrees to call him Ned as a code name and he moves in for a kiss.. and with that we're left to be continued.
Good issue. Of everything the Bendis is currently working on, it's good to see him still spending a little time on this one. Since moving on from Sara Pichelli on pencils, the art hasn't skipped a beat with Oscar Bazaldua picking up the slack. After the recent issues with all the time hopping, it's good to see Miles be able to take a little break and get some downtime and with this issue he's treated to just that. I give it an 8/10.
