On the one hand , this is objectively a pretty compelling arc with relatively new spaces being explored for Marvel ’s original Webslinger . However , this is selfishly not what I need from my Spider - Man comics right now .
Having become Earth ’s champion in the supernatural Covenant of Cytorrak , Spider - Man has been face various scions of the older god Cytorrak with each one presenting a different challenge . Each showdown has resulted inSpider - Man ’s death and Resurrection of Christ using the Reeds of Raggadorr , which bring him back to life for the next challenge .

As seen in the most recentAmazing Spider - Man # 66by Justina Ireland , Marcio Menyz , and Erick Arciniega , Peter Parker is just shuffle around New York eating junk food , no longer caring about being Spider - Man by any grade . Coming to view all spirit as otiose and devoid of any real substance or signification , Peter speak to a mugger mid - looting about how momentaneous life is . While he criticizes the goon ’s choices and how he ’s spending what little fourth dimension he has , Peter ultimately does nothing to intercept the malefactor , a business that ’s provide for Spider - Boywho arrived during Peter ’s depressive disorder - fuel rant .
Spider - Man ’s love life life is infamously rough , but one of DC ’s Green Lanterns puts him to shame with the uncollectible wild-eyed track record book of any superhero .
Naturally , it ’s really difficult to see Spider - Man this way . Most of the clock time , Spider - Man ca n’t be shake off , and his bright personality and humor are rarely snuffed out . He always gets back up in his feeling that it ’s his obligation to do so with the power he possesses to keep fight back and keep masses dependable . However , this event and the respite of his current bow have prove that Peter Parker could now care less about his responsibility , given his new impression that everything ’s pointless and that all he ’s ever done is just detain the inevitable .
Spider-Man Is Trying To Recover, But He Just Can’t Care Anymore
What’s The Point of Saving Anyone?
Having disregard his friend and family , Spider - Man is truly struggling to wish and feel again . Meeting with Shay Marken whom he ’s been ghosting for quite some meter , Peter tries to understand how she can keep go as a nurse give how often she look death . Encouraging Peter to get some help from a professional , Shay does apportion that she keep going because while " pain is inevitable , woe is optional " , mean that she works to mitigate the suffering of others and improve their life for however long each of us has .
Shay ’s quote from Haruki Murakami is quite profound . However , Peter stay to be full submerged in his depression with no clear way out of his thick battle . He then buy the farm to spill with Felicia Hardy ’s Black Cat , confirming that he ca n’t experience anything after witnessing death on such a monumental shell .

This Is NOT The Spider-Man I Need Right Now
Please Marvel, Get Peter Parker Help ASAP
Having even experience far more decease than when Doctor Strange was Earth ’s champion , Spider - Man struggling to regain signification in the human face of so much loss is as logical as it is understandably tragic . Undeniably , Spider - Man having to deal with such intense depression does make for a compelling arc . That said , I ’m very much quick to move on now and getPeter Parker back to being the Spider - Man we know and make out .
At their core , superhero comics are designed as mannikin of entertain escapism . They serve to take idealized notions of morals and conception such as justice , while often serving as distractions from many of the real - life things in our lives that can be frightful and depression - inducing . Witnessing Spider - Man struggling with his own depressive disorder is massively relatable and compelling , but enough is enough . I ’m really hoping Spider - Man will start seek the help he needs sooner rather than later .
