IN LATEST AMAZING SPIDER-MAN STORYLINE
New Storyline Spins Its Web Beginning March 3rd in Amazing Spider-Man
#623
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!
