Arana: The Heart of the Spider #1 (2005) is the first issue of the series that introduces Anya Corazon, a teenager who is mortally wounded during a fight between the Spider Society and the Sisterhood of the Wasp. She is saved by a member of the Spider Society, Miguel, who uses an ancient ritual to bring her back to life as the new "Hunter" with spider-like powers activated by a special tattoo. The first issue sets up her new life as a superhero as she begins to understand and train with her abilities.
The Incident: Anya is caught in a conflict between two secret societies, the Spider Society and the Sisterhood of the Wasp, and is mortally wounded.
The Transformation: A member of the Spider Society, Miguel, saves her life with a ritual that activates her powers, causing her to be reborn from a "silky cocoon".
New Powers: Anya awakens with a new tattoo on her arm that signifies her role as the next "Hunter." This tattoo activates her innate spider-based powers, including a bio-blade-like carapace that emerges from her arm.
Joining the Society: She meets Miguel again, who gives her a business card for "Webcore," a front for the Spider Society, and she later starts to train under their guidance.
Early Adventures: Anya confronts the Wasps and learns more about her abilities, which are further activated when she trains in the Yucatan wilderness with her mother.
