Spider-Man: Far From Home Page #5

---

Oh, my God, babe, isn't this beautiful?

Yeah, it's real beautiful, babe.

What's wrong? You know, honestly, I just I don't do well with big crowds, so maybe we should I have the perfect thing. Come on.

Don't worry, babe.

We'll get away from the crowds, get some fresh air.

You'll feel a thousand times better.

Energy spiking. We have seismic activity.

Okay, he's here! Beck, you ready?

You know what to do. On your lead, Spider-Man.

No, come back!

Come back and help us!

You're up, kid.

Wait, wait. Is that?

Do you think that's Spider-Man?

No, no, no. It's a European rip-off version of him.

I actually read about him. It's not him.

No, Beck! He's got the carousel!

He's getting bigger!

What's his name? What's his name?

It's Night Night Monkey.

Night Monkey? Yeah.

Yeah. Night Monkey!

Yeah. Night Monkey. Night Monkey, help!

Save us! Night Monkey, we're stuck! What?

Oh, no, no. Help us! Help!

Are you okay?

On to Plan B?

Yeah! We gotta hit him with something he can't absorb!

I go left, you go right! Now!

Okay, shoot him!

Yeah!

That hurt him. Keep it coming.

Spider-Man, keep your distance.

I'm trying!

Can't let him get near the Ferris wheel.

Okay. I'm on it!

Whoa, what is that?!

Betty! Betty!

That's it! Nice! Nice! You got him!

No, no, no.

It's too late.

Whatever happens I'm glad we met.

Beck, what are you doing?

What I should have done last time.

Beck, don't do it!

Beck!

Mr. Beck?

Oh, thank God.

I would kiss you, but I think I threw up in my mouth a little.

I might have a mint.

So it's over?

That was the last of them.

But not the last threat we'll ever face.

We need to stay vigilant.

There's a void in this world for someone like you.

Hill and I are going to Europol headquarters in Berlin tomorrow.

You should join us.

Thank you. I just might take you up on that.

You got gifts, Parker, but you didn't wanna be here.

Mr. Fury, I I'd love to have you in Berlin too.

But you got to decide whether you're going to step up or not.

Stark chose you.

He made you an Avenger.

I need that.

The world needs that.

Maybe Stark was wrong.

Was he?

The choice is yours.

Let's get a drink.

I'm not 21.

Hey.

You gotta celebrate. We did something good tonight.

Yeah.

Fury was right.

Tony did a lot for me so I owe it to him, to everybody.

Do you?

Yeah. I mean Mr. Stark gave me the chance to be more.

He wanted me to be better than him.

And Fury wants me to live up to that. What do you want?

What do you mean? What do you want?

I don't know. What do you want? Peter Parker. Now.

I know you're thinking about it. I wanna go on my trip.

I want to go back on my trip with my friends.

And go to the top of the Eiffel Tower with the girl who I really like and tell her how I feel and give her a kiss.

Shut up, man.

You're not gonna do that, are you? No, I can't.

Why not?

Because I have too much of a responsibility.

My God. Thank you so much. What are those?

Are those the? EDITH glasses, yeah.

They were just on the floor? Try them on. Let's see how they look on you.

Yeah? Yeah.

I actually really like them.

Can I be completely honest with you? Please.

They look really stupid.

But maybe they have a contact-lens version.

You try them on.

No, come on. Try them on.

I don't wanna try them on. Just put them on.

What do you think, kid?

"Next Tony Stark, I trust you."

"For the next Tony Stark, I trust you."

What?

Stark left me a message with those glasses:

"For the next Tony Stark, I trust you."

I'm still not following. How many lemonades have you had?

He knew every mistake I ever made.

He must've known I wasn't ready for something like this.

Why give it to you?

Maybe he didn't trust me to have EDITH, he just trusted me to pick who should.

It makes much more sense. He knew I'd do what's right.

And he's not gonna give them to Fury because Fury would give himself EDITH.

You're probably right.

Right, so the world needs the next Iron Man.

And it's not me. I'm a 16-year-old kid from Queens.

It needs to be an adult with some experience and that's good like Tony Stark, like you.

No. Peter, come on. No.

EDITH? Hello, Peter.

Hi. Yeah I'd like to transfer your control over to Quentin Beck.

Peter, what are you doing? Doing the right thing.

Any transfer will require confirmation. Stark gave you the glasses.

Stark gave me a choice. It's my choice to make, okay? And I'm gonna make it.

You're a soldier, a leader. You stopped the Elementals.

You saved my life. You saved the world, okay?

He'd want you to have them.

Waiting for confirmation.

Confirm.

Welcome to the Avengers.

They look good on you.

Thank you.

It's an honor.

Yeah.

Mr. Stark would've really liked you.

Where you headed?

I'm gonna go find MJ. Good luck, kid.

I'll give you a fifty-fifty chance. You're pretty awkward.

Yeah.

See you later, man. See you.

See? That wasn't so hard.

Yes!

Somebody get this stupid costume off me!

Okay, we got EDITH.

Get these connected to our system.

Toast! Toast! Toast!

No, this is a big win, but we still got a lot of work to do.

Toast! Toast! Toast!

Yeah!

Okay, toasts!

Give me that, Doug.

To the man who brought us all together, our former boss, Tony Stark.

The jester king.

Literally wrapped in wealth and technology that he was unfit to wield.

Like the holographic system I designed.

A revolutionary breakthrough with limitless applications that Tony turned into a self-therapy machine and renamed Binarily Augmented Retro-Framing, or BARF.

Oh, $611 million for my little therapeutic experiment.

He renamed my life's work "BARF."

I told him it was a mistake, that my technology could change the world.

And then he fired me.

Said I was unstable.

To Tony. To Tony!

Next, to William. William!

Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave!

With a box of scraps!

The integration of my illusion tech with your weaponized drones was brilliant.

Powerful illusions, real damage, worked like a charm.

And it's just the beginning.

Thank you, brother. To Guterman.

Guterman! To Guterman!

The story you created of a soldier from another Earth named Quentin fighting space monsters in Europe is totally ridiculous and apparently the kind of thing people will believe right now.

I mean, everybody bought it.

Gutes! Guterman!

To Victoria. To Victoria!

Staging electromagnetic pulses at each attack site so Fury's own satellites would confirm our lies.

Inspired idea.

To Janice. Janice!

After Tony died, she was the one who discovered that EDITH was being handed over not to us, not to the Defense Department, but to a child.

Thank you. To Janice!

And to the rest of you, Tony Stark is gone.

There is a window of opportunity, and someone will step up.

But these days, you can be the smartest guy in the room, the most qualified, and no one cares.

Unless you're flying around with a cape or shooting lasers from your hands, no one will even listen.

Well, I've got a cape and lasers.
