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!

My net lagged and I seriously started thinking: "Peter Parker No More!"

Which, opposed to Batman and Bruce Wayne no more would actually be an interesting 3-4 issue twist. Pete goes hobo for a month and decides "to HELL with my unmasked obligations" and only lives as Spider-Man, and draws an account from the Avengers and stuff instead of having a real job. Not really dark and angsty, just taking a vacation from himself for a bit. Like Spider-Man buying coffee at the local shop, a guy at a rave goes to take a leak and there's Spider-Man at the next urinal. Spidey laughing at the news coverage of himself and NO ONE CAN GET A DECENT PICTURE OF HIM HA HA HA.

Then, of course, at the end of the story, he realizes he can't ignore his Peter Parker obligations and recommits to great responsibility.

The person that needs to be fired is the colorist. Good God, what the hell is the lighting on the cover supposed to be doing? Not to mention the colors themselves- Peter looks like a cadaver.

You know what? Peter's a pretty decent photographer, and experienced too. Why not just start taking pictures of things other than Spider-Man and go freelance in the magazine business? Seriously, he'd be able to do nature shots other photogs could only dream of, architecture too.

Or is that being too simple?

Once again, Mary Jane looks like a 14-year old girl playing dress-up. A sign that said "Unemployment office," or, even better, "Department of Labor" would have made more sense than one that said "unemployment benefits," which are actually sent through the mail in New York City.

It's really, really hard to feel bad for Peter these days. It used to be that the whole "Parker luck" thing wasn't so much bad luck but that Peter's personal life suffered because he was always out doing good as Spider-Man. Now when something bad happens to him, it seems like karma for him being such a dick lately.

". . . Dancing."

And getting tips from MJ and her model friends on how to keep the audience's attention on him . . .

I'm thinking about this too much.
