That trope is why I wouldn't mind MJ having blue eyes again or having that be her default permanent thing.
[QUOTE=Revolutionary_Jack;4528196]In 616 now, and Ultimate Spider-Man, yes. I kind of think this was some coloring error, and once it got in, people liked it and it stuck. Romita certainly intended her to have blue eyes.
I was re-reading Frank Miller's Daredevil collected volumes and the first one including his early work as a penciller for Mantlo's Spectacular run, and in that one Miller's MJ has blue eyes too. This was around 1980 or so.

I think it might have been Roger Stern and JRJR that gave her green eyes. Because her having green eyes was a big part of Stern's run. Like at one point, Peter suggests that his attraction to Felicia was that she had green eyes like MJ, seeing her as a replacement for her.[/QUOTE]
I forgot Felicia had green eyes :p.

Sometimes they're blue, but that's explained by contact lenses. Also, 90s TAS Mary Jane had cyan eyes (light blue with maybe a tint of green).
[QUOTE=Yvonmukluk;4528010]Well, her eyes were blue back in her very first appearance. So actually it's correct! It's all the depictions with green eyes that are wrong.[/QUOTE]
Weird, never noticed that. Guess it makes some sense, given that red hair and green eyes is a popular combination. I actually liked the blue look better myself and find it amusing to see when colorists accidentally use it. Case in point, she briefly has blue eyes in the first USM issue (when seeing Peter and Liz at the party) and at the very end of that [I]Spider-Man/Red Sonja[/I] crossover (when she gets mad hearing that her husband had been working with a bikini-clad woman, not realizing Sonja had been borrowing her body at the time).
Just read Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #11. Won't spoil it, but it's one of the greatest Mary Jane-centric comics I've ever read. :o
MJ is of course in Life Story #6 too.
[spoil]She outlives Peter and gives Miles the classic Spider-Man costume.[/spoil]

Beautiful moment that.

Cool. Thanks for sharing that.

Zdarsky's Life Story opens with a homage to one of the great Peter-MJ moments. Nothing quite gets the "we grew old together" charm like this.

What's that from? Very cute.
Also, in other news, Spider-Man: Velocity had some really great MJ in it. I know there's lots of folk who don't like MJ being a reporter, but I love it (from the Ultimate universe), and I think Hallum writes her and Peter really well. Art wasn't quite as good as the City at War stuff by Michele Bandini, but Emilio Laiso does a good job.

It's a one page comic from Marvel Comics #1000. I like this one a lot, it's really cute and sort of J. Scott Campbell's way of poking fun at some of his own art. I also love the ending bit, "I'm in [FONT=Book Antiqua][COLOR="#ff6699"]Love[/COLOR][/FONT] again!"
