The series takes place during 16-year-old Parker’s junior year of high school. After spending the summer before honing his skills as Spider-Man, Parker will have to face the challenges of concealing his secret identity while facing off against powerful super-villains like Green Goblin and Venom. Many comic book aficionados will exclaim, “Say what?!? Venom attacking Parker in high school? That’s not how it went down!” And, they would be right.
Series creators realized that, in order to allow the greatest number of story possibilities—and, no doubt, the maximum number of toy and other merchandising possibilities—Parker’s journey from novice to accomplished super-hero must be condensed. Series writer Greg Weisman has stated that Spider-Man’s continuity will not mirror the comic book series. Instead, comic book story arcs and ideas will be presented in an abbreviated format, so that important characters from Spider-Man’s history—Gwen Stacy, Flash Thompson and Harry Osborn, for example—can be included alongside contemporary characters.
