Running away from Shay Marken, Mary Jane Watson and Felicia Hardy, he remains a bit of a spiderhounddog, including getting close to an intergalactic work colleague that he saved from slavery (so no issues there), Raelith Of The Wretched. Not that she is in any way a pushover, in today's Amazing Spider-Man #17 by Joe Kelly and Pepe Larraz.

But to be fair to both Reilith and Peter Parker, how could you not fall for someone when they are drawn by Pepe Larraz? He even makes Rocket Raccoon look good.

Well, they are certainly dancing around canoodling, past canoodling and future canoodling…

But for present-day canoodling, it seems that's off the table, as Rei The Wretched is one of the Kailo species that also birthed Hellgate, who caused Spider-Man's crisis of confidence in the first place. Man, that Parker luck… but it does give him a place to plant his tree…
