Spider-Man is an iconic hero, one whose efforts usually come at great personal cost to him and those he loves. But what happens when he is no more and it’s left to a random high-schooler to suddenly wear the mask? That’s the set-up for the upcoming manga Spider-Man: Fake Red.

“Yu’s new high school is kind of awful. He’s failing his classes and striking out socially. Everything changes when he finds one of Spider-Man’s costumes abandoned in an alleyway. At first, it’s fun to put on the costume and play hero, but when powerful enemies appear, Yu quickly realizes he’s out of his element. Still, with the real Spider-Man nowhere to be found, the city needs someone to save it…”
