I made a joke recently about a panel from this issue, to tie it back onto the topic.

Much like Peter throwing the gun to Kraven Jr, and remarking about "skipping to the end", I too wish to skip to...

As a sucker for Marvel/DC crossovers, give me more Spider-Man/Superman stuff.

Maybe, but who knows. Wells' doesn't have a talent for writing romance at all, so I wouldn't be surprised if he just doesn't do anything there.

Personally I'd prefer is we abandon the Michelle plotline and just leave Peter single the rest of the run if they're not gonna take steps towards getting him back with Mary Jane. No need to waste...

The inclusion of variants for different printings always seems entirely a tactic purely to get people who already bought the issue once because " OMFG THERE IS A NEW COVER LOOOOKKKKKKK!" to buy it...

Well said. This discussion and having people 'prove' to a forum poster that the marriage isn't a limitation is both pointless and also disingenuous when the goalposts continue to be moved.

Just throwing my two-cents in here, but I still feel that if Wells didn't wanna write them being together, he should have been told no, to suck it up and deal with it, or to go elsewhere.

The only limitation is in whether a writer wants to actually put in some effort or be lazy, which the latter is what most have been since OMD.

Been seeing this exchange and it seems like you're...

This will be my only response to this, as like others have said, this is a disingenuous argument, and I believe you're aware of that, Mr. Slott. Your sarcasm speaks bounds for your attitude on this...

Even just recently, as an example, DeMatteis' The Lost Hunt was praised as far as I could see, and it featured heavily a married Peter/MJ, with MJ also being pregnant within the story. All this with...

Which is why comics like ASM #31 (MJ as Jackpot first appearance) and Edge of Spider-Verse #7 were fueled by multiple covers and marketed as being the first appearance of 'new' characters so that...

From my LCBS today. Every other issue for this run was in the 50% off bin. Multiple copies of issues, variants included. The store cannot get rid of them. Owner told me today that the issues coming...

It's why I feel the 'toys back in box' approach is something BND writers think applies to everyone but them. Wells, in my opinion, clearly didn't intend to clean up any of this mess by the end of the...

In which case, the best kind of course correction. Would have been the worst decision since OMD.



Me too. It's just outright sickening.

They were never married to begin with man. C’mon now. Lowe said this was a mistake

It’s the”assignment”, as I recall you mentioning once or twice on here rather firmly, yes.

I also recalling Cebulski saying there wasn’t a mandate about the marriage not coming back, and it was...

I don't think it's for synergy, but if they truly introduce a Michelle Jones, I might have to puke.

You need to write fanfiction, man. I would read the hell out of this.

This. I highly doubt this woman is a love-interest, since Wells has demonstrated neither the interest nor the talent to write romances this entire run. She's there purely to set Peter off, which...

Almost like it's widely lamented as one of the worst ASM issues of all time, and people are morbidly curious.

Marvel editorial cannot handle the power of Mayday Parker! That's why

^^ Absolutely adorable <3

Or sales are down and they're raising the price to off-set it. Besides, it's not just Spidey that saw the prices raise, but a bunch of titles.

So, if I'm understanding this correctly, it's effectively a mandate that Peter/MJ remain unmarried, as that's the way the company wants it.

But C.B. said recently there was no mandate about the...

All of this. You've both said it better than I could form into words.
