Synopsis for "Lifetime Achievement: Part One"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Amazing Spider-Man (Vol. 5) #11
Christmas in New York and J. Jonah Jameson is going off about Spider-Man again, only this time he's defending Spider-Man's reputation on his radio show. After his show ends, Jonah talks with Bushkin about the ratings and is handed a letter from the Century Club with an invitation from Mayor Fisk's office, where Mayor Wilson Fisk has decided to award him a Lifetime Achievement Award, also requesting Spider-Man be present to introduce him. Jonah guarantees on live television that the hero will do it, ignorant of Fisk's aims to use their presence to further divide Spider-Man from his vigilante compatriots and manipulate publicity.

Meanwhile, Spider-Man stops the Hippo, hired to steal a limited edition toy, gives the toy to a child who immediate auctions it, and heads to Robbie's place as Peter. After hearing about Betty in Europe, Peter and Robbie talk about Jonah, with his past antics at the Bugle hindering finding investors and losing revenue after stopping printing sensationalism. When Randy brings out the Turkey, the three say grace and eat together.

Elsewhere, Arcade talks with a man in shadows about his recent purchase of a supervillain deathtrap. While Arcade tries to sell him an upgrade for greater death toll, the man dissuades him as he only has one target: J. Jonah Jameson. Once Jonah arrives, Spider-Man arrived immediately after to talk with him about not going, to which Jonah rants about how much Peter owed him as he tried repairing his reputation-- which Jonah slandered for years. When their talk hits a fever pitch and The Enforcers arrive to abduct Jonah, Spider-Man's efforts to defend him fail with Jonah's commentary on how to fight. Given Spider-Man's abilities, Fancy Dan aims a gun at Jonah, allowing Ox to grab and slam the defending Spider-Man into unconsciousness. Later, Spider-Man awakens with Jonah in an unknown location, and they're set upon by villains under the direction of the returned Big Man.

Synopsis for "Lifetime Achievement: Part Two"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Amazing Spider-Man (Vol. 5) #12
Guests at the Lifetime Achievement Awards are awaiting a tardy Jonah, so Fisk has them wait for a while longer. When asked why, Fisk can't lose the opportunity as Spider-Man won't risk his newfound public "alliance" with Jonah. If he gets a publicity shot with the two, it would further divide Spider-Man from the vigilantes who stand against him. Meanwhile, thinking they escaped their pursuers, Spider-Man and Jonah find themselves in what is arguably Spider-Man's worst nightmare: a museum dedicated to J. Jonah Jameson. A narrator chronicles Jonah's life from his abandonment by his father, to his abusive relatives, and his rising journalism career.

Elsewhere, the narrator is called by Arcade who affirms to his client that the LMDs and death traps are in place, allowing the narrator to "put on his suit" and join the fun. Spider-Man and Jonah then find themselves in his son John's nursery, but a happy scene turns tragic with Jonah having to relive his first wife's murder with the narration of Jonah being at work at the time. The Narrator continued that, being a single dad, Jonah's son grew up to be an astronaut, a proud day for Jonah which crashed with Spider-Man's intervention. Seeing a pattern, Spider-Man rightly deduces that the narrator believed Jonah's old "Menace" propaganda. The narrator reviews Jonah's creation of Scorpion, the original Spider-Slayers, and eventually Jonah's meeting with Marla, before tragic events again happened with the death of one of his best friends and his father.

Continuing, the narration goes from supporting Jonah's years of campaigning against Spider-Man to anger at his sudden support of the web-head. Closing out the narration, the speaker accuses Jonah of turning his back on his city and abandoning his mission, an unforgivable betrayal. After Jonah berates the speaker for "slander", the narrator sends in his forces to end them both, as Spider-Man notes to Jonah how events remind him of a character in a story. Spidey battles the real Scorpion and minions, but getting overwhelmed asks Jonah take control of the robot controller and the two defeat their enemies. But once Scorpion is defeated, the two find themselves facing a giant version of the Big Man.
