In the Amazing Spider-Man #623-624, Peter Parker gets fired and us Unemployed. I guess their trying to reflect today’s economy and people who have lost their jobs.
But truth is, I’ve stopped caring for the book. And while Spidey is my favorite superhero. In terms of the current comic books and buying it? I can’t. I‘ve lost that emotional connection to the character ir his struggles, ever since One More Day.
It’s just a comic book character, and in a corporate, non creator owned world, a character can only grow so much.
The famous Illusion of Change line. Because make no doubt about it. At some point, he will be working for the Daily Bugle again and it’s a return to status quo. So this new story DOES NOT matter at all. ALSO, Peter Parker has been Unemployed before. So this new story is nothing new we have not seen before.
