But behind the super-hero mask is Peter Parker - a normal guy just trying to make his way in the Big Apple...and keep his double life hidden from his beloved Aunt May.

When a savage terror strikes his city, Spider-Man leans there are those without special abilities, without incredible powers, whose heroics dwarf even those of a super hero.

And when his secret is exposed to the one closest to him, Peter Parker discovers that Aunt May is far stronger than he ever could have imagined...
