In real life, certainly. And what you're proposing is certainly a narrative direction that could make sense in some comics. Even some Spider-Man comics at that.

But I think you're neglecting to...

Couldn't agree more. Hickman is on a roll with this book!

As for Harry and Gwen...

Conflict and tragedy definitely seems likely to eventually happen between Peter and Harry down the line. That...

Much to my pleasant surprise, one such early copy arrived at my mailbox last night. First time since the run started actually! Up to now, my copies have consistently been coming in either three days...

I mean, I like Richard so far for what it's worth.

The biggest thing going against him right now is that he hasn't gotten the screen time and focus that May has had.

Nah, that doesn't really fit with Hickman's approach to family drama writing, going off his past work IMO.

My money from the start has been on Jonah being the loved one who dies. He's basically...

I have to say, it's impressive that Hickman's been making sure to put in what most readers would logically construe as being a potshot at One More Day/the post-OMD status quo once per issue so far.

I really don't mean to gang up on Lee here, especially since there's already been a fair number of responses already to his opinions here about ASM and Star Wars. He's obviously entitled to have his...

I couldn't agree more. Would I have preferred for JMS to feature other members of the classic supporting cast in his run more frequently? Yes, but at the end of the day, MJ and Aunt May are the heart...

This bodes extremely well for Jonathan Hickman getting to do Ultimate Spider-Man for quite awhile then!

At this point, I don't want to hear anyone try to argue that this isn't the worst run in Spider-Man's history. At least the Mackie era had that one issue where Peter took out all his grief over MJ's...

Which is exactly why the marriage era with MJ ruled. No half-baked romances that everyone knows mean nothing, instead just a dedicated dynamic between two fleshed out and charming characters.

Hi Dan!

If you're willing, I was hoping that you might elaborate a bit more on aspects of Mary Jane's character that you like about her? Obviously there were reasons for why your run on ASM...

Could be. It might also be that Flash joined what ever sort of military or national defense force that the North American Union has/had?

My heart! The fan art... it's so precious!

Yeah, even if this Peter somehow manages to not suffer any sort of permanent tragedies throughout the entirety of the run, I do think there's something to be said that Peter will need to have...

Bravo.

Between this, Peter's first line in the first issue and the "One More Day" line at the end of Issue 2, maybe there is some merit to the idea that Hickman might be throwing winks and nods to...

I think that's a possibility, but in general I think Jonah is still the most likely candidate to bite it. Obviously if that happens, we'd be losing one of the best relationships in the book right now...

I'm feeling pretty confident that it's going to be Jonah. Killing MJ, the kids or Ben make no sense since the book's status quo with all of them are actively big deviations from either the norm or...

Completely agreed. Though I guess we'll have to continue waiting a few more years for them to make another movie or two with Tom Holland's Peter in the MCU...

I think it's very safe to guess that in a few years from now after the run is over and folks look back on Hickman's USM, this page right here is going to probably be the go-to image to represent the...

Nailed it. Hickman's got the character writing down pat for Peter at this point, as well as the other supporting cast so far.

It's so damn charming and fun. I love seeing how writing for Spidey seems to bring out a very different side to Hickman's writing.

Very curious to see what's going on with Mary Jane in that issue!

Also, the previews for USM #3 are so damn heartwarming. I love Peter and May's dynamic so much already!

Presumably.

Though like Spider-Tiger and Kevinroc mentioned, it could also be that Gwen is that client MJ mentioned she was meeting with in Issue 2.

I'm so happy that I called this happening! Very interested to see how this all plays out.

As an aside, MJ did say she met Harry once back in the day in Issue 1. Maybe that was because she was...
