Peter Parcheesi



don't look now, but this Brand New Day thing is growing on me (gaaahhh! schism!). putting the marriage breakup aside (a retcon to save his identity, really, much like Marvel doubling back on Morrison's Magneto-as-crazy-Xorn), the Spidey Braintrust is putting its mark on the character, sending him back to his roots as a lovable wisecracking "loser". remember when he used to earn a few bucks for his photos, then have to bail out Nathan Lubensky with his gambling debts? now he still gets bad press (even with JJJ out of the picture), the stream of villains never end, he gets beaten to a pulp and arrested, and his mortal enemy is in charge of his universe. that'll make going through roughly a hundred inmates with a broken shoulder seem like a walk in the park. all for what? to save his cop roommate, who might not be all that clean anyway.

at least he still has his friends eh?
