    Does anyone here who has been reading ANAD Amazing Spider-Man think there is too much negativity regarding Parker Industries? His staff are saying he's screwing stuff up a lot, and people are ungrateful for what he does at times, like the people he saved from the Goblins in Africa, and the turmoil caused from Pete firing Sajani wasnt good. I want to see more positive stuff for PI especially as we're 7 issues in now. Not saying it needs to run perfectly but at least have a balance.

    @currentthor2015: Agreed. It looked pretty sweet company in the first issues but it keeps getting messier as time passes.

    For me the Parker Industries shtick was cool in theory, but been pretty boring in execution. I was hoping Slott would at least focus on Peter doing science and tech stuff rather than being a semi competent business man running a company with a terrible human resources department (considering all the iffy employees he has on payroll). I seriously hope this changes with the coming issues, cuz I'm becoming less and less interested in ANAD Spidey with every new issue

    "Awkwardness' that seems to be the mission statement for Slott's take on the premise. In the letter pages of the latest issue, Nick Lowe comments that even HE can't relate to what's going on, but the key to the story is that Peter is not even comfortable with what goes on, which ultimately reflects badly on him as it influences the perspectives of his staff. It's supposed to make you think "yeah, it's the usual Parker hang-ups", but when you're reading a title expecting a guy with a lot of success to constantly fail to live up to standards...that's not the message you should be sending. Especially when Peter can and has been portrayed by other writers in this era as more assertive.

    It could be a bit more fleshed out or given more positive traction. Whatever happened to Parker Particles? Shouldn't he be rich of that?

    I don't remember any of his staff saying that he is screwing up. But I agree that the Parker Industries parts of the book should be more positive.

    @kcomicfan: My bad, the part about them saying he is screwing up was from Spider-Man/Deadpool #1 and it was Anna Marie

    @nerevarine_11: please don't even bring those ridiculous things up. We're all better off just forgetting all about that.

    i just hope that he keeps the business. if they reboot this, i will be sick. to me it just life as usual for peter. remember peter isn't that experienced a ceo. he is making rookie mistakes. it was the same thing when he first became a hero. he was a know it all. it took him awhile to become the spidey we all know and love. it would be kind of dumb for him to just become this great ceo over night. at first i hated it, but it makes sense when i think about it. also, it's the series is only 6 issues in. they can't show everything in this small amount of time. i am pretty sure if they continue this they will flesh out everything. this story line has been great in my opinion.

    Hopefully it get's better. I believe Parker Industries has the potential to turn out great.

    @christianrapper: I want it to last too, but I have a bad feeling they will retcon this as soon as the next Spider-Man movie comes out, the same way how when TASM2 released, Superior Spidey ended and Pete came back, and how Steve is now getting young again just in time for the Cap 3 movie, its a shame, because if they take Parker Industries away from Peter, he can only go downwards in progress, this is easily his highest point so it would just be depressing.

    i think peter is just going through growing pains. he has this huge company plus the added burden of being spiderman. doc oc even failed doing both during his superior run. that's why i don't get the people complaining that this is all due to otto. he failed miserably. the company was in ruins. the turn around was all peter.
