COMIC PITCH: "Spiderman: Undercover"

Awhile back I decided it would be fun to try and come up with some stories for various comic book characters. The first that usually comes to mind with me is Spiderman. He isn't my favorite, but I think there's a lot that has yet to be done with him. I myself have mapped out a five season television show with the character. But that's not what I'm going to talk about. Today for the fun of it I'm going to pitch you a story for the Spiderman comics. Now it's been a long, long time since I've read Spiderman so forgive me if there are some inconsistencies with the canon (for example, I know Peter Parker doesn't work for the Bugle anymore).

Then again I see this more as a small miniseries than part of the overall series and just so you know, this is more of a treatment. There's no way I could outline the entire thing. Enjoy!
===================================================================

The setting would be modern day NYC. Peter Parker is working for the Daily Bugle and is dating Carly what's-her-face. Seems normal right? Well everyone knows that Peter Parker is Spiderman's buddy because he's the one who gets all his pictures. J. Jonah Jameson's son is also dead and he blames Spiderman for it. He thinks that Spiderman didn't save his son on purpose as retaliation for all the bad press Jameson has given Spiderman over the years.

The people want answers and they blame Parker for not giving those to them. He is after the all the one who gets all of the pictures so he must know something about Spiderman right? So everyone at work is giving him hell about it. Well Jameson, in a strange turn of pity, decides to take Parker off of Spiderman and puts him on the case of a drug ring that's been coming into power and trying to weasel out the Kingpin. He wants Parker to go undercover and try to bust the story. Peter, looking for a quick exit to all the hate he's been getting, agrees.

So he goes undercover in this new group. Steadily Spiderman is able to appear less and less because the further he goes into the group, the less time he has to escape to save people. Peter Parker also starts to change. The stress over all the crap he was getting about Spiderman and the new found stress of not getting killed in this gang starts to break him. His composure starts to falter and he gets angry and unstable. He starts attacking people, going too far more than a few times. He has random outbursts of anger at Carly, who is only trying to help him and figure out what is going on.

At one point the Kingpin's gang identify Peter Parker as one of the gang members and kidnap Carly. Peter manages to convince his boss that this is an act of war against them and that they need to rescue her as well as attack Kingpin. He agrees and they go in. After a large battle, Peter is able to rescue Carly and blow up a few of the Kingpin's drug compounds.

During one evening, near the end, Parker finally gets a moment to himself and decides to go spy on the boss. During this chat the boss mentions somebody at the newspaper contacted him about accepting this new kid, that it would lead them to Spiderman and then they would be famous.

Knowing who this is, Parker goes to Jameson's home. He confronts him about what he heard. Jameson says that he did it to prove that Peter Parker is Spiderman and that he should be destroyed for letting his son die. Peter then launches into some speech about how he can't be everywhere at once and despite how much he wishes he could, he can't save everyone. Jameson doesn't here any of it. Peter decides to mess him up then, as punishment for getting Carly captured. He then leaves to clean up Jameson's mess.

The end has Spiderman watching a meetup between the Kingpin and the head of the other gang. He knows that there's going to be a shoot out and if he wanted to, he could stop it. But then he hears sirens off in another direction and realizes, that he can't be everywhere at once, and that here (at the meet up) is not somewhere he wants to be.

~End.

So what did you guys think? Would you buy this as a comic miniseries? I figure that six issues would be just fine for a short story like this. What are your thoughts on it? Suggestions? etc. I'm open to everything.
