In this story, we find that Peter Parker's days as photographer for the Daily Bugle are behind him and he's now a scientist at a research firm. Andy is part of a student field trip that visits Parker's lab. He's in the wrong place (or perhaps the right place) at the wrong time when Parker's invention malfunctions and zaps him with great power. Parker - haunted by the way he got his own super abilities and how his failure to use them led to the murder of his beloved Uncle Ben so many years ago - feels an even greater responsibility to help young Andy. He feels he must help him discover his powers and teach him how to use them responsibly.
So, the team of Spider-Man and Alpha is born. Spidey has his own "Robin." But golden anniversaries aside, why is now the right time for a new dynamic duo?
"Part of it is that Spider-Man is grown up," said Axel Alonso, editor-in-chief of Marvel Entertainment. "He's older, more seasoned, but young at heart. He's still a young man, but he's been around. It's interesting because it flips the paradigm. Teen hero Spider-Man is now responsible for this teen hero sidekick. He's responsible because one of his inventions caused this kid to get his powers. He's directly responsible for the responsibility this kid now has with his new powers. He feels he has a responsibility to make sure this kid walks the right path, which won't prove easy."
I love Peter as a mentor and Slott has been killing it for a long time on ASM so I am totally down with this
I'm not sure how much of the last couple of posts were sarcasm.
I wasn't being sarcastic at all.
It is so goddamn obvious, especially with Peter being a mentor to children for many years now, that I am shocked it hadn't been done already

Is that side-kick story happening in regular continuity or is it a USM type universe?
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
Yeah it's a tad bland, but then again so is Spider-Man.
Spider-Man and Alpha sounds like a good duo though. Rolls off the tongue well.
i see you found a new dealer
nice supply by the looks of things

That's a pretty huge change to the Spider-Man status quo.
Kinda surprised.

I don't really see how saying Spider-Man is a bland name is on drugs behavior
I mean it is iconic now because he is fucking Spider-Man but the name is totally uncreative and boring
Peter Parker's personality and the costume is what makes it work

i don't like slott, i don't like the kid's costume, his awfully generic name, i know nothing about what his powers are, and the fact that they're saying peter's grown up when the whole point of one more day was to make him younger and "relatable" is hilarious
and saying that "Spider-Man and Alpha" sounds like a good duo and saying spider-man is bland even when compared to Alpha is laughable
I never said Alpha was a better name than Spider-Man, just that they sound good paired together. The duo flows well, when spoken is what I am getting at.

yes and yes
Uh-oh I accidentally deleted my signature. Uh-oh!!
Spider-Man is getting a sidekick, Alpha.

Peter accidently creates a new teen hero via a lab accident and becomes his mentor out of responsibility?
Fuck how had no one done that before
we'll just have to see how this new character is though
I am excited
It is so goddamn obvious, especially with Peter being a mentor to children for many years now, that I am shocked it hadn't been done already
although it would be a little neater if the kid were like Miguel O'Hara or Miles I think
do we have any idea what the kid's powers will be?
looks like regular continuity from the description. references his work at horizon labs and slott is writing it, and he's writing ASM currently
Barry Allen and Wally West.
That last bit made me wonder if it was sarcasm.

I assume Blank was talking about Peter specifically and not comics in general.

I mean it could easily be done but it also looks like Alpha has unique non-spider powers and Miguel is pretty famous for bein Spidey.
Miguel O'Hara is the 2099 spider-man right? He'd be super old by the time that came around if Peter was mentoring him right now.
yes but I don't really care
Here's Spider-Man and introducing his new sidekick, Spider-Boy!
But he doesn't even have spider po-
Shut up.
