The sequel to something like gravity.
Peter Parker is a senior – second semester, last first day, the last of everything coming fast and then gone. He knows what he is now: Tony Stark’s son, Spider-Man, a kid from Queens who shows up on Saturday mornings in Brooklyn because the work is real and he can’t not.
But knowing who you are and knowing how to manage that are two different things.
While Peter navigates wrist surgery, a no-swing restriction, a science program in Crown Heights, the slow work of becoming someone’s brother, and a city that is starting to pay very close attention – Ross is rising, Toomes is patient, and the distance between Peter Parker and Spider-Man is getting harder to maintain.
Some things that were lost get found. Some things that were found get harder to keep.
