Thanks to Marvel legacy, Spider-Man is about as close to his classic status quo as we've seen since Dan Slott first took over as solo Amazing Spider-Man writer in 2010. Peter Parker is back to being broke, unlucky and hated by everyone around him. This "back to basics" approach is both refreshing and a little worrisome. Two issues into "The Fall of Parker," it's unclear where exactly Slott is headed with this new story direction.
This issue is most successful when it comes to exploring Peter's miserable new lot in life. There's a clever subversion of the usual Peter/Spidey dynamic. These days, Peter Parker is the public menace and Spider-Man is the lone source of respite from that hardship. Slott, co-writer Christos Gage and artist Stuart Immonen craft a great little montage scene as Spidey backs in the affection of New York's residents while shirking his duties as Peter Parker. At the same time, Slott and Gage are diligent about exploring the power/responsibility angle and exploring how Peter is shouldering the burden of his unilateral decision to tank Parker Industries. Responsibility has been a crucial theme in Slott's work to date, and it's encouraging to see that this remains the case now.
