Amazing Spider-Man #623-624: Peter Reaps What He Sows

[cyberghostface]

New York, NY (March 1, 2010) – Marvel Comics has two words to say to Spider-Man’s alter ego Peter Parker -- You’re Fired! Beginning in Amazing Spider-Man #623, on-sale March 3rd, everyone’s favorite friendly neighborhood hero has to not only survive key arch nemesis Vulture’s reign of terror…but also losing his job at the Mayor’s office! Peter Parker lays it all on the line to protect J. Jonah Jameson and keep the city from ripping itself apart, but Peter’s sacrifice winds up costing his career as a photographer.

But when you can’t pay the bills, how’s a Super Hero supposed to buy web-fluid and fix his costume? Spider-Man’s about to learn that with great power and great responsibility comes the great need to be employed -- which isn’t so easy when you’re blacklisted in New York City!

“Peter Parker’s been through some rough times lately, with all of his deadliest foes returning, and he couldn’t lose his job at a worse time” said Senior Editor Steve Wacker. “He’s going to struggle with unemployment and trying to save the city while he can barely afford to keep a roof over his head.”

The intrigue starts in Amazing Spider-Man #623 with the shocking next installment, Amazing Spider-Man #624, spinning into stores just one week later – March 10!

I thought having Pete teach was a natural progression of the character, giving him the kind of history that we (and newbies and his students) can draw from, as well as make him accessible.

Peter's had his ups and downs and overcome them, and like Logan and Jubilee it's time to pass on what he knows to others and overcome new challenges.

This above? It's the same story done all over again every 6+ years.

Nah, he's gonna make a deal with the devil and end up being a student in HS again! Yay!

Great, now you've ruined Spider-Man 4 for me.
