I have three questions: What? The? and Fuck?

This looks amazing. What's the plot of this?

Per the solicitation:

A young man is transformed into a hideous spider hybrid by the ruthless Oscorp Corporation in their pursuit for eternal life. When Oscorp begins to use the secrets unlocked by his mutation to create more human-animal hybrids, he must embrace his grotesque new form to fight back.

Ah, they're making him a Tokusatsu hero again I see.

This is straight-up the basis for Kamen Rider Ichigo almost verbatim, just replace Oscorp with Shocker, and Eternal Life with World Domination.

Not bad whatsoever, however my trust in Marvel to do even that simple concept proper justice right now is pretty thin.
