The homecoming's not bad either, mother and sisters having walked out of ruins and bought a wee pad in the country, as our hero didn't then know.
This dynamic ties nicely into Marvel's recent preference for complex, multi-dimensional bad guys such as Black Panther's Erik Killmonger and Homecoming's Adrian Toomes/Vulture.
Homecoming's story is complex, with time jumps, non-linear story arcs and multiple settings, but that works well for audio dramas, which allow producers and creators with big ideas to put together ambitious projects on a shoestring budget.
Both Homecoming's hero and villain effectively get new origins stories that seem entirely naturalistic, especially when compared to the well-worn radioactive spider-bite and death-of-Uncle-Ben segues used to introduce the masked wallcrawler in previous versions.
But no, in keeping with Homecoming's impish, irreverent and intimate tone, the followup centres on a school trip to Europe in which Parker appears to be recruited by Samuel L Jackson's Nick Fury for a mission to battle the Elementals alongside Jake Gyllenhaal's Mysterio.
"The Homecoming" 's territorial free-for-all is waged with a rhetorical panache that is almost Jacobean in its richness and its ferocity.
