If Spencer's run did not bring MJ back as the love interest (or didn't have to), it would still be successful. But because he has so many things to play with, he has more story to do, and the book is better. This is good for the contingent of fans who think stuff was "broken" and "needed fixing."

This is a great take. The bad makes the good that much better, which is remarkable and incredibly optimistic! Every story counts.
