Synopsis for "Family Matters: Part One"
Kraven the hunter hires Arcade to build something for him. Meanwhile Peter and MJ go to dinner to the Connors who now live in the sewers, being Curt the only one able to switch from the reptile aspect to the human one, while Billy and Martha are constantly humanoid lizards. Billy hates never being able to get out of the sewers and this leads him to violent quarrels with his father. Meanwhile, Aunt May is also out for dinner with her late husband's lawyer, and when he tries to tow her, she goes mad, saving a homeless man from a beating and offering him a meal. However, the restaurant is involved in a clash between Rhino, Taskmaster and Black Ant. Upon hearing of the clash, Spider-Man intervenes instantly, but Black Ant blows up the restaurant.
Solicit Synopsis
• You know what’s annoying? Having to save J. Jonah Jameson’s life.
• Sure, he’s been on Spidey’s side for a little while, but that’s after YEARS of him making Spider-Man’s life a living heck.
• I feel like this amount of responsibility should come with even more power.
• Anyway, who, other than most of New York, would want to punish J. Jonah Jameson?
Notes
- Chronologically, these events happen sometime after Miles Morales: Spider-Man #3.
