About the Story
On Earth-65, police captain George Stacy is unaware that his daughter Gwen Stacy is Spider-Woman. Years prior, Gwen accidentally caused the death of her best friend Peter Parker while he was rampaging as the Lizard, and police have been hunting her ever since.
One night, Gwen encounters a version of the Vulture from an Italian Renaissance-themed alternate universe. Spider-People Miguel O’Hara and Jess Drew arrive using portal-generating watches and help Gwen neutralize the Vulture. George corners Gwen, who then reveals her identity to him; distraught, he attempts to arrest her. Miguel reluctantly grants Gwen membership into the Spider-Society, allowing her to escape with him and Jess.
In Brooklyn on Earth-1610, sixteen months after the Alchemax collider’s destruction,[a] Miles Morales encounters the Spot, an Alchemax scientist whose body was infused with portals after the collider explosion. The Spot blames Miles for causing his condition and reveals that, while testing the collider, he had transported a spider from another dimension, Earth-42, which bit Miles and turned him into Spider-Man. The Spot then accidentally transports himself into a void, where he travels to other universes containing Alchemax colliders to empower himself further.
Gwen travels to Earth-1610 and reconnects with Miles while secretly tracking the Spot. Miles secretly follows her through a portal to Earth-50101, and they team up with its native Spider-Man Pavitr Prabhakar, and later Hobie Brown, against the Spot, who absorbs the power of that world’s collider.
The Spot and Miles share a vision of the Spot’s future attacks that includes the deaths of Police Inspector Singh (the father of Pavitr’s girlfriend) and Miles’ father Jeff. As the collider collapses, Miles saves Singh, but Earth-50101 begins falling apart from its disrupted “canon event” before members of the Spider-Society arrive to contain the damage. Miles, Gwen, and Hobie are sent to the Society’s headquarters on Earth-928, where hundreds of Spider-People reside in a massive complex.
Miles, Gwen, and Hobie meet with Miguel and encounter Peter B. Parker and his infant daughter Mayday. Miguel explains that each of the Spider-People’s stories entail “canon events”, such as the death of a police captain close to Spider-Man; straying from these events threatens reality and may cause that universe to collapse, which Miguel witnessed firsthand when attempting to replace a deceased version of himself in another universe.
