Just read it. A good start I feel, though maybe it is leaning a little too heavily into box-ticking the wish-lists for "grown up Peter" and overcompensating a bit.
Peter is in the bathroom, he stares at his reflection and reckons he's not getting any younger. He finds his kids and wife MJ having breakfast, his daughter is playing with a mysterious orb which Peter takes with him. We find Peter's Uncle Ben is alive and manages editorial at the Bugle, his best friend is Jameson.
Peter and his family attend a memorial for the people killed in the attack on NYC from Ultimate Invasion, which killed Aunt May. Harry Osborn gives a speech, as his father was also killed in the attack, but he is unfamiliar with him, MJ met him once at her old job but doesn't know much else. Wilson Fisk buys the Bugle and Jameson and Ben quit in protest and launch their own paper. Ben offers Peter a job, but Peter elects to stay at the Bugle for now as it pays him a decent cheque that he feeds his family with. Fisk is trying to cover up the attacks on the city that were blamed on Stark, and is attacked by Ultimate Green Goblin.
Peter confides in Ben that something is missing, Ben tells him to make things happen, he then has a talk with MJ that he feels he needs to accomplish something, MJ senses that Peter has been missing a part of himself for years, she asks if this will affect their relationship and family, and Peter swears 'never', MJ gives him her blessing and wishes him luck. Peter goes to the roof where he opens the orb...it contains the radioactive Spider. Turns out Peter was given this the previous day by a future projection of Tony Stark and told this was what he was fated to receive 20 years ago before The Maker intervened. Peter chooses in this moment to receive the powers and become Spider-Man, and allows the spider to bite him
