Peter Parker's rebellious middle-school years are explored in Amazing Spider-Man #3 by Joe Kelly and Pepe Larraz
Chemicals and hormones send Peter down a darker path before he learns his lesson about responsibility
Peter Parker delivers a firm rejection of incestuous relationships, especially with DNA-sharing characters
Marvel injects a quirky PSA as Spider-Man warns readers against romantic entanglements with genetic clones

Peter Parker was a bad boy. That's what we have been learning in Amazing Spider-Man of late, from Joe Kelly, Pepe Larraz and John Romita Jr. As chemicals, pheremones and hallucinogenic hormones have been pumped through his radioactive blood. With this utterly gorgeous shot of Peter pulling on his rebellious jacket, that itself deserves to be printed on a jacket, in today's Amazing Spider-Man #3.

His scientific acumen, hard school studier and reputation as a wallflower is still to come in the American High School. But it seems that his middle-school years were more troubling than we had known…

And with a depatrting Peter Parker leaving his uncle and aunt with the kind of zinger that is hard to take back.

He was clearly heading down the wrong path, long before he got bitten, became Spider-Man and had to learn that lesson about responsibility. You know, one that has also been put on jackets.

Still he's a good boy now, and has a public services announcement for all the kids reading this comic book.

As well as a lesson regarding romantic life.

Never french kiss someone who literally shares your DNA, like Itsy Bitsy. Also no one who shared Deadpool's DNA like Itsy Bitsy. And if you do, always do it through a full face mask.

Amazing Spider-Man #3 by Joe Kelly and Pepe Larraz is published today from Marvel Comics.
