The Debt That Peter Parker Still Owes In Amazing Spider-Man #38

In the most recent Spider-Man relaunch back in the beginning of 2022, Peter Parker had a brand new enemy, Gus, the hospital bill enforcer.

In the most recent Amazing Spider-Man relaunch back in the beginning of 2022, Peter Parker had a brand new enemy, Gus, the hospital bill enforcer. The concept was as foreign to us Brits as non-alcoholic cider. And he was coming for Parker, with unpaid bills for when he was poisoned by the U-Foes and spent a stretch in hospital, with Bill Reilly covering for him.

And sometimes the enemy of your enemy is still your enemy, as Paul popped by to pay him off for a bit. As in another example of controlling behaviour, Mary Jane's new partner Paul put him off for a while.

Peter and Paul. It all felt rather biblical, didn't it? With Paul even paying out for Peter.

But soon he was back, bothering Felicia Hardy for Peter Parker's whereabouts.

Until he wasn't.

Turns out he took to targeting someone who looked like Peter Parler with a blonde hair job, but really, really wasn't.

And then took that a little too far; considering the new friends of Ben Reilly…

…. which now include one demonic queen of Limbo, Madelyne Pryor.

Never a great idea to eat from the Tree Of Life, especially in Limbo…

But there are new debts to be paid in recent Amazing Spider-Man comic books.

As Masylne Pryor sends one of her limbo demons out onto the streets of New York to recapture the ones that escaped in the recent Dark Web Inferno shenanigans, to take down Rek Rap and any others of the Spider-Man gallery of demons.

But may indeed be confusing the two.

And seeing Peter Parker as his target instead.

Well, they do have history…

What are they trying to say here? Those who try and collect on hospital bills have surrendered their soul?

I mean, maybe?
