In the aftermath of Ultimate Invasion, Peter Parker’s life has been remade. Due to the Maker’s sinister interference, a teenage Peter never encountered the radioactive spider that gave him his superpowers. Now leading an ordinary life as a happily married husband to Mary Jane and a proud father of two, Peter Parker has never experienced life as a super hero—until Iron Man appears with an offer to reclaim what was lost and put Peter back on the path he was always meant to walk.

Now, as the Kingpin tightens his grip on New York City and the Green Goblin makes his presence felt, Peter finds himself drawn into a web of shifting alliances and dangerous agendas. Friends may not be the allies he hoped for, and new threats push him further into a life he never imagined living – one where protecting the city could mean risking everything waiting for him at home.

Visionary writer Jonathan Hickman (Secret Wars, House of X/Powers of X) and acclaimed artist Marco Checchetto (Daredevil) launch an era-defining saga packed with high-stakes battles, intimate moments, and twists you’ll never see coming. This is the Spider-Man story you can’t afford to miss!

Collecting Ultimate Spider-Man (2024) #1-6, this is the opening act of a legend reborn for a new generation!
