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





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!

Already LOL'd about this on noscans, so I'll just say that I'm really hating that dress on MJ. Or just hating that dress in general.

Gee, you're friends with several affluent superheroes, you don't think you could get at least one of them to toss a bit of freelance work your way? What, Reed Richards only hires robot staff?

Relatable, right. Have to keep reminding myself of that.

Give the poor woman a break, it's the only thing she can put on with those tiny, tiny hands.

But she's going on a TV show. That means some stylist clearly thought that dress was a good idea.

...

Maybe the stylist is someone who hates her.

"Hey, Summers/Stark/Richards/ANYONE IN THE MARVEL U. can I crash for a bit and get a loan for web fluid?

Oh, wait, I can live with the New Avengers! Like ALL the other do!"

I didn't know Bendis was a stylist...

Yea, that was really fun, and didn't deserve to be kicked out either.

Actually, isn't Bendis like, the one writer who adores her?

Please, can you never, ever, ever make him a teacher again? Thanx.

Bah, living in a mansion isn't relatable. How can he be a swinging single with a suite of his own and a private entrance?

Of course, if we're going to actually write good stories, he can sign up with Pym or someone as a lab assistant. Isn't he supposed to be well above average intelligence, despite recent chowder-headedness?

My mistake, Queseda. Clearly I've been working too hard.

MJ has very tiny feet. Their like..liefield level.
shanejayell: (Question)

[personal profile] shanejayell 2010-03-02 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
Uhh.. why not?

I thought Peter as a teacher was entertaining and had a lot of story telling possibilities. And it realistically spring out of his existing backstory.

Unlike most of BND.

He invented the webfluid so why not?

*ignores John Byrne's rather badly written attempt at doing this*

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.

It does not, however, work with his being a super hero. He can't just dash off in the middle of class to throw down with his rogue's gallery. He can only pop off a few times before any administrator in his/her right mind canned him. Being a photojournalist is much more super hero friendly.

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

All this AND a reference to a Lee/Dikto comic cover? Oh brave new world, that has such people in it...

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