It could just be a realism beat: eight-year olds don't like relatively strange people coming into their house. Especially if they're distracting the fun grandparent figure from focussing on them.

MJ has had a line asking Peter if he's been working out. But otherwise, yes, it's a lot better if MJ knows and Peter knows she knows.
I don't know about Harry losing Gwen. On the one hand, Gwen...

The Spider-man stuff has felt like Spider-man stuff, if Spider-man were just a beginner dealing with villains who've been doing this stuff their whole lives.

I normally think that giving Peter secret agent parents was a misstep; but at times like this I actually think that the secret agent parents explain something about Peter's psychology, namely that he...

I think Liz and Gwen come with different baggage, and Gwen's baggage may be easier to work with.

What do I need heroes for? I've got you.

If that lines's not teasing the possibility that she knows, I'm not sure what it's doing.

Granted. Still, Peter and Ben's conversation in issue one implies that Peter's more concerned about Ben's loss than about his own. Perhaps they're as close as MJ and Aunt Anna in Earth 616, (when the...

It's also a version of Spider-man where Peter wasn't actually that close to Aunt May.

Of course they were important enough to be given names. They were so important they were given names more than once.

(She didn't start out as an Avenger: she wasn't an Avenger until after Secret Wars IIRC.) Tony and Carol and the Inhumans all had their own problems to deal with (and Tony and the Inhuman Royal...

It's not the having solo adventures that seems to me a problem - it's the having to work out how to be a superhero for herself. If she's an X-Man there are immediately a whole host of actual mentors...

I can see it would have made more sense for her to be a mutant originally, as long as she could have been kept out of the X-Men orbit, - which, given that the X-Men's fundamental job is to find and...

I agree it's a bad idea. However, if the underlying reason is that it's a big finger up to whoever mandated that the Inhumans should take over 616 from mutants because Marvel had sold the film rights...

it is unclear: from what I gather, Mary Jane asks Felicia not to tell Peter about them in the Mary Jane/ Black Cat miniseries; Mary Jane apparently told Peter about them in the flashback to a...

Standing around disguised as the bad guy's target so that the bad guy can stab you from behind is not a proactive way to go about saving lives.
(Did Kamala know that the bad guy only had one chance...

I don't care for anything John Byrne did with Scarlet Witch and Vision in his West Coast Avengers run. It also had Magneto reverting to a purely villainous characterisation with not even an attempt...

Much as I enjoyed the Spencer run, I wouldn't have said it used Robbie effectively.
(There's the scene in which Peter has Christmas or is it Thanksgiving with Robbie and Randy. He has to sack Peter...

Robbie Robertson is criminally underused in all media.

I note you don't need to say which Miguel O'Hara.

There was a lot of stretching and compressing though.

The problem for the Big Two is that they switched in the early nineties from newsagents to specialist shops. It made them a lot of money in the short term, but it's meant that casual readers just...

Hadn't it been said that killing off Kamala was part of Wells' pitch to Lowe for his AMS run?
The most likely way of making sense of everything that has been said is that Feige mandated making...

Franklin has a notable part in Days of Future Past (the original X-Men story). He's Rachel Summers' first boyfriend. There was a crossover between FF and X-Men Annuals - it's the story in which...

Describing killing off Mary Jane as the alternative implies that not killing a female character wasn't an open possibility.

Also, if the character wasn't even gone long enough for anyone to miss,...

Whoever they'd got writing the title would have written their own thing. Straczynski had left some plot threads that presumably he wanted to pick up. The Loki favour, for example, and the Last Stand...
