[Western Crossover] The Little Spider Is Hungry Again Today

Peter Parker, New York's friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, has an incredibly fast metabolism. Ever since he was bitten by a spider, he hasn't had a proper meal, but back then, he still thought it all meant something.

Until Aunt May died in a car accident, leaving him without his last living relative.

No one noticed how thin he was getting. No one cared why the little Spider-Man, who was always talking, had started to go quiet. It wasn't until Peter chose to give up being Spider-Man that they realized New York couldn't afford to lose him. But by then, Peter had already gone to the DC Universe to find enough to eat.

In gloomy, dark Gotham, an auction is underway.

In sunny Metropolis, cats are attacking passersby in packs.

In Star City, an eerie floral scent begins to spread.

In the relatively peaceful Central City, the villains suddenly change their ways.

"So I collect pieces of the world in exchange for rewards?" A boy who seems completely out of place in Gotham talks to the System in his mind.

"Even if it's just for myself." To fill his never-ending stomach.

Peter, having abandoned his identity as Spider-Man, begins a life of patching up the world in exchange for enough to eat.

His tall, lithe silhouette appears once more among the skyscrapers, but he's no longer wearing red and blue, and his black suit bears neither his signature web pattern nor a spider emblem.

["I'm only his cameraman. I have no idea where he went.

"Besides, I don't work for the Daily Bugle anymore.

"You should be catching the escaped Electro, Sandman, or Vulture. Otherwise, people might blame you the way they blame Spider-Man: 'Why are these villains still showing up? Didn't you already catch them?'

"You don't tighten security, the prisoners escape, and then you blame Spider-Man.

"Ha. Even though I've only taken a few pictures of a spider climbing walls, it still makes me angry on his behalf.

"After Peter came back from DC, the Avengers showed up at his door. Suddenly, he was so hungry he couldn't keep his emotions in check."]

Please note:

The romance is complicated, and the timeline is messy.

This is a poor college student Peter who never met Iron Man.

Uncle Ben and Aunt May are both dead.

My take on Spider-Man: Peter is the most beautiful person in the world.
