Bitten by an genetically altered spider, Peter Parker discovered that he now posessed proportional strength, speed, and agility of a human spider. He could leap rooftops with ease, stick to any surface, and...most amazing of all...had the ability to create webbing as strong as steel. He decided to use his newfound powers for personal gain as a costumed 'Spider-Man', until his Uncle Ben was gunned tragically down...a death he could have prevented. In that moment, his costumed identy took on a greater meaning. Never again would he forget these words: with great power comes great responsibility. Now he uses his great powers to make a difference as best he can; struggling with sinester super villains, making ends meet, and maintaining some semblance of a normal life.
On the day Max Evans saved her from a fatal gunshot wound, Liz Parker's life would never be the same. That was the day she learned the truth: that Max, his sister Isabel, and their friend Michael were, in fact aliens. The same ones who crashed in Roswell back in 1945. Together with her best friends, Maria and Kyle, Liz kept their secret as long as she could...until they could hide no longer. Now on the run, these six friends try their best to keep one step ahead of both the FBI and other aliens, both of whom want nothing less than their complete extermination. All the while, dedicating themselves to giving their very special kind of help to whoever might need it.
When Peter Parker recieved an unexpected visit from his long-absent cousin, Liz, he never imagined how much her life had changed since they last saw each other. However, why both the FBI and an intergalactic druglord come to town, it's obvious that his webbed alter-ego is going to have his hands full.
Unknown to either of them, a third party is finally making itself known. Are they on the podsquad's side, or against them? Michael is determined to find out, no matter what price he has to pay.
Whatever the case, they had better solve it soon. An old enemy is manipulating events from behind the scenes. Unless he's stopped, it may cost them the lives of every person on the planet.
