    This story is the prologue to J. Michael Straczynskis and John Romita JR:s run. This sets the ground for a few things of their run.

    A new era unfolds as acclaimed writer J. Michael Straczynski takes the reins of Marvel's flagship character! As Peter Parker gets back into the swing of his life, a sudden encounter with an enigmatic stranger will forever change the way he will look at himself?and his alterego, the ever amazing Spider-Man!
