Collecting the adventures of Ben Reilly as he takes on the mantle of Spider-Man!

A new spider is swinging into town! Meet Ben Reilly, the Scarlet Spider, who has recently discovered he is not a clone of Peter Parker — he is the original! When Pete decides to hang up his webs, Ben steps back into action… as Spider-Man! There is no shortage of enemies to face — including the new Doctor Octopus, Venom, Mysterio, Tombstone, Sandman, Kaine, Carnage, and more! But while Ben dons his refreshed red and blue Spidey suit, what does old Parker luck have in store for Peter and pregnant Mary Jane?
