ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN EPIC COLLECTION: LEARNING CURVE

The groundbreaking first year of the 21st-century reimagining of Spider-Man, one of the greatest comic book eras in history!

High school, puberty, first dances — there are many pitfalls to being young. Compound these with intense personal tragedy and superhuman powers, and you can start to visualize the world of Peter Parker, A.K.A. Spider-Man! Following the murder of his uncle and the Green Goblin's assault on his high school, Peter finds himself on the brink of manhood: getting a job at the Daily Bugle to help support his widowed aunt and taking on extracurricular activities — such as bringing down the Kingpin, the head of organized crime in New York City! Even with the help of his best friend and confidante Mary Jane Watson, it’s a heavy load to bear for any teenager — but Peter Parker is far from any teenager!
