Unpopular Opinion: Having Peter Parker run Parker Industries is a natural evolution of his character. Opinion 2: Peter Parker should be allowed to grow up in the comics -windona

Heh I didn’t know that was even an unpopular opinion. So far from what I’ve seen of the Parker Industries bits I like them. It’s nice to see Peter getting to do new things.

YES. SO MUCH. But the movies have him in this constant state of teenagerhood, he’s growing younger and younger with each reboot, and it’s honestly like the wider world just…. can’t see Peter as an adult, ever? He’s forever trapped in his teenage angst.

(Which, ok, does have merits for actual teenagers just learning about the character I guess. It’s just…well, goddammit, even TEN YEARS ON I’m still pissed they erased the Spider-marriage.)

Do you think you could write/imagine something up for the Lyman family set anytime after Emily Osborn’s death? That is any close relatives on Emily’s side. Featuring or mentioning Norman and Harry if possible?

Beverly Lyman hung up the phone with a slam.

“I am guessing it did not go well, dear?” her mother asked as she tutted about, setting up the table for dinner.

Beverly’s lip tightened. “We invited him weeks ago, no answer. I call the day before, and he refuses. He acts like he’s the only one affected by Emily’s death.”

Beverly’s mom, Elisabeth, merely shook her head. “Being married does odd things to you, dear. You feel like they are the other half of your soul. You will understand one day.”

Folding her arms, Beverly privately thought that she wouldn’t. She never understood why sloppy kisses at the end of dates sounded appealing. Being with friends or family had so much more warmth.

“I just wish I could at least see little Harry. He was the light of Emily’s life!”

Elisabeth paused. “I would like to see my grandson as well. Maybe at Christmas.”

Ahhhh, I really need to digitize these differently, the colored pencils are so washed out!

I thiiiiink this will wind up being about 20 pages long btw? Not sure – 8 thumbnails prepared so far, & that puts me slightly under halfway through.

omg I’m so sorry I didn’t see this, Tumblr has completely stopped sending me notifications for some reason

I LOVE IT. Especially the last panel. I really, really love how you did that, father and son and their respective desires on opposite sides.
