"Buckle up, tiger! Get ready for the most action-packed, pulse-pounding, adrenaline-pumping comic of all time! Once you read page one, panel one, Spider-Man just does not stop! A mystery at Empire State University thrusts the webslinger into a thrilling adventure that starts in uptown Manhattan and takes him around the world--pitting Spidey against Marvel villains old and new and giving you a Spider-Man adventure (and a Spider-Man) the likes of which you've never seen! Something terrible is happening to ESU's students--some of New York's brightest young minds--and to save the day this time is going to take a side of Peter Parker that neither you nor Peter thought existed. And the clock is ticking!"-- Back cover.
