I mean, calling or not, he lost control of that classroom incredibly fast.
He’s had a varied career… photojournalist, high school science teacher, scientist, ran a tech company… demolished a tech company…
He was also a teacher in Future Foundation, where he rolls out his science acumen. One of the students exclaims ‘The Spider is smart! Unexpected.’
Loving the tweed jacket and spandex. Spidey knows how to dress.
Is that Xorns special class from Grant Morrisons run? I see Herman and that brain.
certainly fits him more than being a millionaire superstar CEO for, like, a year, and then immediately going back to working for a newspaper.
sorry i’ll just never get over that
His teaching role in Avengers Academy was superebe as well.
He also worked as a high school teacher during JMS’s run, it was solid.
after Ultimate Peter Parker, my favourite version of Spidey is during JMS’ run when he was a highschool teacher and married to MJ. Would be cool if MCU Spidey gradually progresses into that
Shout-out to the writer, Elliot Kalan. He was head writer on the daily show before Trevor took over, and he co-hosts one of my absolute favorite podcasts, [The Flophouse](https://www.flophousepodcast.com/).
How did hellion lose his hands?
The original run that got me into comics wholeheartedly was Amazing Spider-Man: Coming Home. I remember reading that in a Barnes and Noble and being blown away. In it, Peter returns to teaching. It was and still is my favorite favorite Spider-Man arc.
At this point, I would like for him just to keep a steady job.
Peter became a teacher the issue before I started reading Amazing Spider-Man in 2001! Even though I didn’t realize how influential it was on me then, it’s one of the reasons why I’m a teacher today!
Spider-Man and the X-Men was great and it should’ve lasted longer and I wished it’d get a revival and it likely won’t which is why at this point the only thing for me to get some level of satisfaction is for /u/Zthe27th to acknowledge that Spider-Man is a legitimate X-Man.
This was a great series, except for the X-Men’s outright hostility toward Spider-Man at nearly every available opportunity.
I absolutely loved the run where Peter Parker was a high school teacher, I thought it was a perfect fit for him
I always thought tech and science was his calling… to bad Slott didn’t really do anything interesting with that.
Maybe to you.
Eye-Man still makes me feel very uncomfortable. *shudders*
I’ve always felt Spider-Man would right at home as like the vice principal or guidance counselor of a new Avengers Academy. He just feels too at home with mentoring or giving good advice to young kids to have done it at least once.
I don’t have any context but I’m on the students’ side here.
It fits part of Peter’s character, definitely. However, while I loathe Brand New Day with a passion, it made a good point early on that with Peter’s tendency to leave at random times and be late/miss classes, he would not work well at any standard type of school.
Gonna be straight up here, but the art style and dialogue of this page does not want to make me read this story. Is this new?
I find the dialog from this page to be rather awkward. Like the panels don’t really have cohesive flow. The third panel looks like it follows immediately after the second one, yet Spidey is responding to a question that we don’t see asked. Then he establishes that this is a class for the bad kids (while failing to explain what the class actually is about) which is followed by one of the student basically saying the same thing.
