Swing shift was...odd. In an interview on newsarama, dan slott said that the story does not fit in with continuity, but that it seems like it could at some point in the future, and there are some ideas here that seem like they were put in to be used later on.
Peter is in civvies on his way to Aunt May's to celebrate her birthday, toting a cake, and remarking how everything's been so quiet recently, with all the heroes in town being "so well organized" that there's no recent need for a "lawless vigilante" like himself, and super villain activity's been quiet. Cue spider sense, then a black sports car comes racing down the street almost plowing into him and several others as the driver yells "Overdrive coming through!". Pete throws a tracer on the car, webs up the cake and changes (red and blues), chases after the car and yells (inexplicably) "The amazing Spider-Man is back!" Cut to inside the car where Overdrive, basically some dude in a black motorcycle helmet, is talking to his boss, a Mr Negative, on videophone, about hopart w the "museum heist" went and if the "artifact" was gotten successfully. We won't hear anymore about the artifact again. Spidey lands on the car and tears off part of the top of the car to find that Overdrive has a bunch of Spider-man collectables on his dash, and the guy says he's a big fan of Spidey, which doesn't then stop him from pushing a button, electrocuting spidey off the car. Cut to the bugle where everyone, Jonah included is excited because "Spider-man is back in action!". Cut to "The Bar With no Name", where supervillains apparently go to unwind, all dressed in costume (the ones i recognized were killer shrike, the spot, boomerang, and kraven[?!]). They all start betting on the battle with Overdrive, now being broadcast on the news. Cut to Spidey managing to get onto the back of the car, then is blown off by a blast of exhaust fire. a car swerves to avoid spidey, flips, and heads for the crowd where a mysterious female in super costume appears to shove people out of harms way. someone in the crowd yells "that's Jackpot! one of the city's new heroes!" spidey thanks her, she mentions she's been "trained for situations like this", then she tells him to continue chasing overdrive. i need to say more on jackpot after the summary. Spidey gets on the roof of a pursuing cop car and instructs them on the best traffic route to catch up with overdrive, since he's been observing NY traffic from the sky for years. They catch up to him on a bridge and spidey tells the cops to ram him off the side. They do and the car and Overdrive get caught in webs for the cops to extract, along with the classic "courtesy of your friendly etc." note, that the oddly starstruck Overdrive asks the cops if he can keep. Spidey then gets back to the cake but realizes it's only been half an hour since he webbed it up, and it takes an hour to dissolve. Cut to aunt may returning home after being taken out by friends. Inside she sees Peter asleep on the couch with the slightly banged up cake on the table besides. She breathes a sigh and talks to Ben wishing Peter could be more "responsible. Poor dear." the end.
i left out a description of Jackpot for a reason. Its a green and silver outfilt with a gold belt with three 7's on it, green sleeves with gold bands, and a gold mask. But that's not the important part. Those of you who may have been upset at recent, um, happenings in USM may want to skip the next part here.
Jackpot has bright red hair, and as spidey leaves to catch Overdrive, he thanks her, and as he leaves she says under her breath..."Any time, tiger."
