Never let it be said that Dan Slott hasn't pushed Peter Parker in new and unexpected directions over the years. That said, sometimes it feels like the core of Spider-Man's appeal is lost in the current status quo where Peter is a globetrotting businessman who funds the Avengers in his spare time. Where's the everyman hero who's perpetually down on his luck? Those who crave a more traditional take on Spidey, but one that still reflects the current goings-on in the Marvel Universe, could do far worse than checking out Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #1.
This new series doesn't ignore the fact that Peter has moved on up in the world, but it seeks to ground him all the same by returning the hero to a New York setting and focusing on his battles with ordinary criminals and rocky romantic life. And in the process, writer Chip Zdarsky focuses less on Peter as a solo player and more on his relationships with both new characters and returning favorites. Zdarsky dispenses with a lot of the usual tropes here, at one point even going meta and poking fun at Peter's habit of rattling off his tragic origin story at every opportunity. Instead, Peter shines through his interactions with others, whether it's his brotherly bond with the Human Torch or the fledgling spark of new romance in his life.
