It's almost time for Spidey to return to our screens in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man!

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man plot
The series will follow Peter Parker as he becomes Spider-Man in an alternate timeline where Norman Osborn is his mentor instead of Tony Stark.
Of course, Osborn isn't exactly a hero - so how will this affect Peter's morals and how he takes on his powers as Spidey? After all, as we all know, with great power comes great responsibility.
The official synopsis reads: "Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man follows Peter Parker on his way to becoming a hero, with a journey unlike we've ever seen and a style that celebrates the character's early comic book roots."
