Publisher’s description

A tale so mighty it required two of Marvel's most powerful pencilers to bring it to you! Featuring the astonishing duo of Mike Deodato and Mark Brooks penciling a tale penned by the sensational J. Michael Straczynski. When a former classmate of Peter Parker's is caught in a horrific experiment, he blames Peter for the resulting transformation...but is Peter to blame? And how will Peter react when someone targets his personal life instead of Spider-Man's life, for a change?
