Spider-Man had a daughter." When May "Mayday" Parker decides she wants a normal high school experience (but really, when is anything ever normal for a teenager) and hangs up her Webbed tights, her dream falls apart as the return of an old enemy thrusts her back into those wild webslinging ways. Check out the book fans made a cult-favorite with this fantastic first issue.
