Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #1
This volume collects the first six issues of the 2006 Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man series, launching a new era for Peter Parker as he balances his personal life with his superhero duties. Written by Peter David with art by Mike Wieringo, the story kicks off with a mysterious villain known as the Deranged causing chaos, while Spider-Man faces threats from classic foes like the Vulture and a new, more dangerous version of the Jackal. The arc sets up a larger mystery involving Peter's identity and his relationships with Aunt May, Mary Jane, and his supporting cast.
"Web Log" kicks off a fresh chapter in Spider-Man’s tale with a poignant twist: a version of Ben Parker from a world where tragedy never ended finds himself in a reality where May is alive—and everyone believes he’s dead. Written by Peter David and brought to life by Mike Wieringo’s expressive art, with Karl Kesel’s inks and Paul Mounts’ colors, this issue introduces a new Hobgoblin with a personal edge, setting a tense, emotional tone that lingers long after the first page. The cover by Mike Wieringo and Karl Kesel captures the moment with striking clarity.
In "Masks Part 1 of 2," Peter Parker faces a double challenge when the Jamesons are kidnapped and rescued by a mysterious Mexican wrestler, prompting Jonah to push for a public showdown between the wrestler and Spider-Man. At the same time, Flash Thompson returns to Peter’s school as a new teacher, reigniting their long-standing rivalry in the halls of Queens High.
In "Masks Part 2 of 2," Jameson doubles down on his scheme to discredit Spider-Man by targeting the Mexican wrestlers, while Aunt May is shaken by a fleeting, unsettling glimpse that leaves her questioning what she saw. The tension builds as secrets surface and the line between truth and illusion starts to blur.
In "Jumping the Tracks Part 1," Jo finds himself caught between two realities when a version of Ben Parker from a world where May never died suddenly appears in a life where she’s still alive—and everyone believes he’s dead. As a new Hobgoblin emerges to challenge Spider-Man, the lines between past, present, and identity begin to blur.
In "Jumping the Tracks, Part III," the Spider-Man of 2211 confronts his daughter, the future Hobgoblin, in a battle that fractures time itself, leaving behind a massive paradox. When he attempts to send Uncle Ben back to his parallel world, the timeline begins to unravel in ways he never anticipated.
