Dan Slott gives Spider-Man new girlfriend, new job and new costume(s) in "Big Time"

News, Top Story

Dan Slott reveals more about his twice shipping Amazing Spider-Man once Brand New Day becomes Yesterday’s Forgotten Memory (that last part was my ad lib).

As many know, Peter will be getting a black and green costume as well as a blue one and maybe even more

Anyhow, here is a nuggest from an interview:

Nrama: A key part of “Big Time” is that Peter Parker has a new career and a new girlfriend, and I don’t expect you to give anything away about the specifics …

Slott: (Laughs) No! No, I won’t.

Nrama: But conceptually, what was the inspiration behind going in that direction?

Slott: When we started Brand New Day, we really wanted to put Pete in an underdog position and work his way up. Before Brand New Day, we’d seen him living in Avengers Mansion, and being in this kind of cat-bird seat, up until the Civil War. We thought it would be fun to really knock him down to where he was struggling and scrapping. I’ve wanted to do this for a while — have Peter Parker live up to his potential. We all know he’s this genius. This is a guy who came up with one of the strongest adhesives when he was a sophomore in high school! And a delivery system that could spray it in many different forms. Just whipped it up like that! This is one smart guy. And his Spider-Man life has really been taking him away from any chance of taking advantage of all of his gifts as Peter. When you think of all that he could have achieved if he wasn’t Spider-Man — the person he could be now, if he wasn’t running off and constantly having these adventures and following this path of power and responsibility. But on some level, his Peter Parker powers have a Peter Parker responsibility. He owes it to the world, to give them everything that Peter Parker can give them.
