I wonder if this was a deliberate marketing strategy. They figured there might be eyebrows raised about Abrams' kid being involved. Promoting it from the get-go about Peter-Dad and his kid might have seemed cloying since yeah Abrams and Junior are writing a story together. So they promoted it as Spider-Man vs. Cadaverous so that by the time the backlash died and the comic gets in, people are sidetracked by the real story.
Abrams is pretty smart about marketing, he did co-create LOST after all.
If you read the preview it does make sense that MJ and Peter are parents. They talk about how "he'd laugh at that" and MJ says, "he laughs at everything" and it makes sense that she's talking of their child.
It would be an intriguing strategy. Maybe they didn't anticipate as much backlash as they got?
As for the preview, that part was intriguing. It makes sense that they'd talk about "him," and Peter is pretty beat up there. Is this the moment when the comic switches from Peter to Ben?
God, it feels so good to have another solid premise of a Spider-Man story (and another legacy to boot!). I think we're getting spoiled between this and Life Story!
