You Can Go Home Again! (1988)
reading order guide

Peter Parker returns to Midtown High—not as a student this time, but as a substitute science teacher. Walking the same halls where he once felt invisible, Peter now sees reflections of his own past in his students: Steve Petty, a bright but socially awkward kid with a passion for science, and Jake Dorman, a loud-mouthed bully who mirrors a younger Flash Thompson. When Steve’s frustrations boil over, he unleashes a robot of his own design—eerily similar to the Living Brain from Peter’s high school days—to get revenge on Jake.
