Parker industries

[The Red Monk]

I don't know about you guys, but I so don't want to see Parker back as a poor low wage worker fighting shocker and vulture again. I want this industry stick long enough to eventually take Spider-man into space fighting cosmic based threats.

Eh, I don't mind it. Not necessarily low-wage, but just an ordinary Joe working a white-collar job. No need to make him into yet another rich guy, and let's face it, other than the entire enterprise collapsing completely, that's the only other option going forward.

i hope it sticks around for a long while. its about time he 'grows up' and moves on with his life. there are other issues in this world besides struggling to find money to pay for stuff. i think alot of us deal with that enough in our lives.

i think parker industries is silly

They tried this same thing in the 90s when Peter got a job in a tech-company. The company folded in a year and Peter was back to his usual status-quo.

The same thing will happen again here. Count on it.

Are we thinking about the same era during the Byrne relaunch? If so, he was fired for a perceived lack of interest in the job as he kept being late/waylaid because Spider-man. It was really badly handled IMO.

The tech company angle's been part of the series since the Big Time began four years ago. This is just the newest step in that.

It's different from what Mackie and Byrne did, although a problem there was Mackie's shortcomings in long-term plotting.

Parker luck, Slott will see to that.

I should've rephrased it, but I meant that I don't see Slott using Parker Luck as that sort of thing.
I can see Peter missing out on big contracts and opportunities to succeed and make Parker Industries on the level as Stark Industries, but I don't really see it going away.

They already axed photography and him being a teacher, so there aren't many jobs left that still go with who Peter Parker is.

Hal Jordan used to been a truck driver and a toy salesman and he eventually went back to his old job testing out jets. The same will eventual happen to Peter.

No because thats a terrible idea now as a team up adventure I could see it but as an arc, no. Street level heroes handle street crimes, mystics handle mystical, and cosmic heroes handle comic threats. Its how the natural order of things work.

Parker Industries will be taken over by Stark Industies...Its only a matter of time.

Isn't it possible that the plan is to keep Parker Industries an ongoing plot in the comic, much as being a photographer at the Bugle was for so long a time - but with the normal amount of Parker luck affecting his business? Taking pictures for the Bugle was always both a problem and a solution, depending on the day; I see Peter-as-scientist going much the same. I don't think Slott will just have the company fold, but rather ride the ups and downs of the ongoing ways it influences the life/stories of Peter Parker.

...because this. (Not that things in comics don't revert even if it doesn't make sense.)

Least favorite Spidey stories ever. I quit comics because of them (and the cancellation of Slingers).

-Pav, who is still enamored with Mackie's pre-reboot storyline involving SHOC, Morbius, Hammerhead, and Hydra...

Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Wolverine, Deadpool etc all have had adventures in space and stopped cosmic level villians before. Spidey himself has been in space before and it was a long time ago.

Plus peter has a heavy science background and the resources to fit into fantastic four type arcs and stories.

As i said I can see Spider-Man doing a team up in space one or two issues in space but an entire arc centered around him in space, eh not gonna happen. I am familiar with Spidey's past cosmic adventures team ups included Adam Warlock and his ventures into the Negative Zone though I'm guessing the latter did poorly.

[David Walton]

The idea of Peter heading up his own company is interesting. A lot of us thought the end of Big Time would mean a regression for Peter's job status, and boy were we ever wrong. So kudos to Slott for taking it to the next level.

Well there is that Web of life and magic spider totem spidey has going for him, so spidey already has supernatural elements in his series. So why no elaborate his effect in the cosmic scope with him being a part of some spider multiversal balance like the Phoenix force? Plus the venom symbiote comes from space also has an arc about it with the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Considering that DC can always pull a reboot doesn't really help that argument.
If Marvel does decide to reboot Spider-Man, then he will obviously go back to working at the Daily Bugle. But since he's blacklisted, I don't see how they can put him back in that field and make it seem natural.
