Amazing
Spider-Man
brings Parker Industries worldwide and takes the Spider-Mobile to the streets
of Shanghai chasing down thieves with Mockingbird of SHIELD. Zodiac is
targeting Parker Industries for his technology and Parker has the Prowler
disguised as Spider-Man to fill-in when he’s in the public eye. The ending sees
the return of Doctor Octopus who has somehow downloaded himself into a robot.
Overall a nice setup which will lead into a major Spider-Man event in 2016 as
he is incorporated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Captain
Spider-Man and the Prowler track down and
retrieve Parker’s Webware device from Zodiac to an underwater headquarters.
Before the underwater headquarters is destroyed, Zodiac sent the encrypted
Webware data to every base. Now SHIELD can track their bases down and shut them
down. Later we discover the Rhino is alive and reunited with his love Oksana by
an unknown benefactor.
Zodiac attacks SHIELD and decrypted all the
stolen data while the Human Torch attacks Parker for buying the Baxter
Building. Johnny Storm discovers Peter is saving the Baxter Building until the
day the Fantastic Four returns. In African Mr. Osborn resurfaces as the Green
Goblin and attacks projects under Uncle Ben Foundation. SHIELD plans to strike
at Zodiac bases worldwide as Spider-Man heads to Africa to stop the Green
Goblin and his War Goblins. Back at New York the same unknown benefactor speaks
to the Lizard and wants him to join his new villain team.
Zodiac attacks a British Museum and steals an artifact and gets away. Later we discover he is the Mr. Jacobs who is the Chief Shareholder at Parker Industries. Overall the first story arc fails to deliver as we play the long game. It would have been nice to have closure within the story arcs.
