Flash Thompson had a very simple life plan: graduate, go to MIT, and successfully ignore the fact that Peter Parker made his brain turn into soup. That plan lasted exactly until Tony Stark walked into a lobby and ruined everything. Now, Flash is spiraling. Between his parents’ rigid expectations and the voice in his head telling him his crush is a “sin,” Flash is stuck in a cycle of being meaner than ever to hide the fact that he’s absolutely obsessed with the boy who called Iron Man “Dad” while covered in pink sparkle. This is a three-part guide on how to survive a crisis of faith, a billionaire family reveal, and the terrifying realization that your heart belongs to the biggest menace in Queens.
