Publisher’s description

Kicking off the Amazing Spider-Man's second ongoing series! And the dynamic duo of writer Howard Mackie and artist John Byrne start things off with a bang…and a question- where the heck is Spider-Man? The super hero world is distinctly lacking a certain wall-crawler. Will the FF's Human Torch solve the mystery of a Spider gone AWOL?
