—Spider-ManWe tell ourselves stories to get through the hard times. And, yes, how we tell them matters. But the truth is, there's only so far they'll take you. You can play the dream in your head over and over, but if you want things to change -- if you want that story to be your life, you have to wake up. You have to make it real. This is my story --our story.

Synopsis for 2nd story
AsMysterio has decided to represent himself alone in court, despite his lawyerJanice Lincoln having arrived to defend him, as she is determined to invoke mental infirmity. Quentin disagrees as his vaunts his brilliance, but he suddenly sees Janice start vomiting insects, with the judge is torn to pieces by rats, and the court room begins to collapse. Terrified, Quentin finds himself cornered by adisfiguredman covered with bandages, threatening to bring him back toHell if he doesn't prepare a big clash withSpider-Man as per their deal, declaring to have procured him Janice's services to ensure it. Returning to real time, Mysterio suddenly finds himself screaming in the courtroom, to which he is declared mentally infirm; Janice congratulates him for having favored her defensive strategy so well.
Meanwhile, Peter arrives atESU expecting more difficulties with his doctoral revocation, but discovers thatLawton instead offers him a chance to regain his doctorate as a student. She explains that someone opposed the revocation of his academic qualifications, revealing them to beCurt Connors. While shocked, Lawton affirmed Connors was in control of himself due to his Vibranium pacification chip in his brain stem controlling his transformations. Connors offered Peter a chance at going to school again under the condition of being his lab technician.
Solicit Synopsis
An alien invasion hits New York City and the only one who can stop it is… Spider-Man?! But that’s far from all you’ll find here – a revelation from the past puts Peter Parker’s job, relationships, and whole life in jeopardy! And if even that’s not enough, you’ll see a new roommate, new love interests – and a new villain! Spider-Man goes back to basics courtesy of Nick Spencer (SECRET EMPIRE, SUPERIOR FOES OF SPIDER-MAN) and the Marvel debut of RYAN OTTLEY (Invincible)!
Notes
- A launch trailer was released by Marvel on YouTube to promote the series:
- The flashback sequence originated fromSensational Spider-Man Annual (Vol. 2) #1.
Trivia
- InWebspinners: Tales of Spider-Man #1,Mysterio cites his inspiration as being the work of stop-motion special effects artist,Ray Harryhausen; however, to make it more contemporary, in this issue he cites the film,Splash, as his inspiration.
