Peter has finally gained big time and is the CEO of Parker Industries and for that he has been working closely with Shield and Mockingbird and they stop some Zodiac attacks but they have big things planned and Parker has to deal with that and also his new software and all in webware and all but then behind the scenes all his villains are making their own plans from Jackal to Green Goblin and even Doc Ock but then when things come hitting close to him and Aunt may is targeted, Pete has to reprior...
Peter Parker is now Tony Stark (Lite) with tons of gadgets, money, and a worldwide business phenomenon that is Parker Industries, which might as well be lovechild of Stark Industries and Apple. Spider-man is now Peter Parker's full-time bodyguard. No one in the comic seems to question this.I admit, I haven't read Secret Wars, so I'm assuming that the status quo changed in that story ... but Spider-man as a rich white dude's bodyguard? And everyone is fine with this? No Queens and Brooklyn native...
Peter's finally a success. I like it. I'm tired of the sad-sack Peter Parker of the last 50 years. He's one of the smartest people in the Marvel universe and I love that Dan Slott has applied Peter's genius. Now Peter is more successful than ever, opening offices around the world and selling equipment to S.H.I.E.L.D. Slott's made the series new and refreshing while still including elements of the past like Spidey's relationship with the Human Torch and the Prowler.
I think Dan Slott read Grant Morrison’s Batman Incorporated and decided to tell the same story but with Spider-Man. The relaunched Amazing Spider-Man sees Peter Parker as the wealthy head of Parker Industries as they expand on a worldwide level. There are doubles posing as Spider-Man to throw people’s suspicions away from Peter, his most immediate being Prowler, as well as Spidey with other members of the Spider-Family like Ultimate Spider-Man, Silk, Spider-Woman and others I’m probably forgetti...
In a short time, and with some help from the body swapped Doctor Octopus, Peter Parker became a Doctor and started his own now international company.Parker Industries has become an amazing ground breaking companyso much so that it has it's own enemies Zodiac.It's not clear what they're after, but what is clear is Parker Industries success has caused Spider-Man to go global.Worldwide Vol. 1 is somewhat odd for me because I hadn't kept up with Peter Parker's exploits. It's hard to believe that eve...
Sigh... Spider-Man (just to clarify, I mean Peter Parker) has always been my favourite comicbook character but it has been so long since a Spidey title has been my favourite comicbook...In this first post-Secret Wars Spidey book, Pete has established his company, Parker Enterprises, as a global force to be reckoned with and a close ally of SHIELD. It's not that I don't find the concept interesting, provided it's not permanent, but I'm just not enjoying reading about Peter as some kind of mash-up...
Peter Parker has gotten his shit together. He owns a big ass business, he has multiple teammates around the world like the Prowler, Miles, Silk, and more. He's not a whiny little brat, he's not a useless genius, no he's actually a smart adult for once. Except for some slips like his zipper being down. I figured it out. Dan writes some compelling stories, I usually dig the enemies, and side characters, but I realized he doesn't write a very funny Spider-man. Listen SPider-man is filled with corn,...
I really don't know about this. Peter Parker is basically being taken down the Tony Stark path: he's a tech mogul, with his super alter ego posing as his bodyguard. The fact that it's called out in the story specifically doesn't make it any less derivative. And yet, it's a perfectly reasonable path forward for the character. Peter's a legit science genius, and it simply doesn't make sense for him to scrape by on a newspaper photographer's salary forever, not when go the Bill Gates/Steve Jobs rou...
So many mixed feelings on this: Peter's now head of an internationally successful corporation, a far cry from his hard luck days being broke. He's recognized for his brilliance and philanthropy and Spider-Man is at the top of his popularity. On one hand, yes, it's nice to see Peter get what he really deserves (happiness, success, etc.) but now he's just another rich superhero. What made Spider-Man special was his crappy personal life and his dedication to keep going no mater what. His power and
I really loved this although I feel like some of the plot lines are becoming a little too repetitive.
The Amazing Spider-Man and his now science business man alter-ego Peter Parker have gone global! Parker Industries has new offices in Shanghai, London and San Francisco. And I just don't like it, it just doesn't work for, even if it makes sense, as it does. The writing and art keeping it working well enough. 6 out of 12.
I got confused on some parts of the comic but it was pretty good.I like his suit in this one.
Cool art, good story. Alot of cool Spider-tech.
It’s post-Secret Wars and Peter Parker is now a big shot - of global proportions. Move over, Tony Stark, Parker Industries is now in bed with S.H.I.E.L.D.Thanks to the initial ground work of Otto Octavius, Peter Parker can now pay his rent and pick up that dozen eggs and milk he promised Aunt May back in Amazing Spider-Man Volume 1 Number 13.Hey, and now that their book is down and out, let’s kick the Fantastic Four where it hurts.Now that Parker is a high tech guru, he’s the target of a group c...
Meh. It was just okay.
Tech, tech, spidey joke, tech, S.H.I.E.L.D., tech, tech, S.H.I.E.L.D., tech, spidey joke. Wish there were more spidey jokes. Okay writing overall.
I think this volume sees the biggest change in Spider-Man ever, arguably even more so than the Superior Spider-Man story (and that was only ever temporary). Parker Industries have suddenly become superbly successful and have offices all over the world. Peter Parker is therefore travelling from place to place, his "bodyguard" Spider-Man always in tow. Inevitably there's villains to be dealt with, here in the form of zodiac, an astrological based terrorist organization (yes, really). Plus there's
I've made a few comments recently regarding Marvel's faux-accessible, but in fact deeply confusing and off-putting, addiction to Volume 1s. When Nick Spencer's Ant-Man has two in a row, how is someone brought in by the film supposed to know which comes first? Yes, they can search it, but why introduce that unnecessary obstacle?So anyway, this is Slott's fifth Volume 1 of Spider-Man. Which can only ever be ridiculous despite big status quo changes each time, but he has been there for ages, and ri...
I couldn't stand this hot shot version of Peter Parker at first. I took a bite of the #1 issue months ago and spat its bitter betrayal right out, deciding to give up on Slott... but here I am again, glued to and strung out over the complexity that is my dear Spider-Man - childhood hero and adulthood muse. Though it does get pretty "out there" in regards to the usual broken down and penniless (relatable) Peter Parker juggling a usually morally-conflicted superhero career, I am actually really rea...
Ever since Big Time, Peter Parker has been coming up in the world, and this is a rather enjoyable extension of that, with Parker now operating a company on the global scene.As usual, Slott's writing is great, with humor and characterization blending right together. The addition of Mockingbird and SHIELD to the ongoing story are pretty terrific too, with Bobbi getting a particularly nice focus. As for the plot, it almost seems like a macguffin, that's just there to move along the story of the cha...
