But this week ’s Spectacular Spider - Man offers the simplest reminders as to why : Peter Parker ’s just a effective nipper .
Spectacular Spider - Man # 310 marks writer Chip Zdarsky ’s difference from the serieshe helped revivelast year , a task that ’s seen him work alongside creative person Adam Kubert , Michael Walsh , Joe Quinones , Chris Bachalo , and many more . Peter has voyage secret sibling dramatic event , time travel , and even heartbreak withone of his greatest rivals . But # 310 encounter Zdarsky bring his clock time with Spider - Man to a close as a solo author / artist ( with inscription from Travis Lanham ) , secernate an intimate write up about just what Spider - Man intend to the people of New York .
Framed around a documentary film project peppered with vox populi - mode interview , Spectacular Spider - Man # 310 runs through the wild gamut of public notion that has trace Peter ever since he donned the Spider - mantle all those age ago . He ’s weird ! He makes too many jokes ! He saves lives ! He gets in the way of the constabulary ! He makes a mussiness ! He ’s a menace and/or threat ! He ’s good ! He ’s bad ! He ’s kind of desperate for … free hot dogs !
In most of these consultation , Zdarsky gets to inject a bit of that classical Spidey humor , like the aforementioned hot dogs . But the event primarily stay with the recollections of one interviewee in special : a young mother who will never forget what Spider - Man did for her Word , Kyle . Spider - Man first meet Kyle while chase down some robbers , and realized that one of the seemingly nefarious goon he was trying to compass was just a immature kidskin — squeeze into being a lookout for the actual robbers — who did n’t postulate net up and being handed a lasting catch record book . So Peter let him go .
But Peter Parker is who he is , and that means that he will never quit go the special mile to help people . So he start visiting Kyle at home , facilitate him with his homework — and as Kyle ’s female parent evidence in her interview , her son was put on the right-hand path by the chance Peter impart him , growing into a better , kinder person . That is , until tragedy strikes : the two robbers Peter nabbed get out of jail , happen Kyle , and drink down him . And Peter only finds out because he move to Kyle ’s place to help oneself with his studies , only to divulge that Kyle ’s not there .
Most other heroes would ’ve motivate on after the initial event — what ’s one life history save against the thousands upon thousands they save day in , daylight out ? But that ’s what ’s always made Spider - Man so relatable and personable — he follows up , he ’s always there for people , always ready to serve even with things that are n’t living - save acts of valorousness . Sometimes , that also intend dealing with the tragedy that even Peter Parker , the man that go beyond time and time again , ca n’t save everyone .
Peter have some level of retaliation , chase after down Kyle ’s killers and re - apprehending them before permit himself a present moment to break down and grieve . But then Spectacular Spider - Man # 310 carries on . There ’s a little more story to assure , a few more revelations about the hoi polloi Peter Parker goes on to aid , and why the documentary frame the issue exists in the first home . But there ’s a final bit of vox populi from none other than Peter himself , beguile on camera by the documentarian in a moment he ’s not in his Spider - wooing — and Zdarsky , through Peter , polish off home with the perfect dissertation on what makes Spider - Man the paladin he is :
No matter the betting odds , no matter the result , no matter to either the moments of joy or the moments of grief . Spider - Man tries .
Spectacular Spider - Man will persist in with a new originative team , but Zdarsky ’s political campaign on the serial has served as a perpetual reminder of the not bad heart behind the quips and thwips that we all hump about this twat who Ping River - pongs around New York in red and blue spandex . At its very honest it has struck at Peter at his most vulnerable , making an example of the devout kindness that makes him stand up clock time and clock time again in the face of insurmountable odds .
Peter Parker can grow and commute over decades of chronicle , and across multitudes of reboots . But Spectacular Spider - Man # 310 highlighting the one affair that never will : He ’ll forever be that good kid from Queens who never stop trying to do his beneficial .
