I really do not get the purpose of padding the run. A writer can have a “Short and Sweet” run and be successful. Obviously Ditko, but Conway and Stern as well. When a writer stays too long his production simply decreases or he fails to accomplish what he set out to do ( see JMS and Sins Past). Look at Romita Senior. The stories after the drug issues were meh ( and Amazing got good again after Conway took over and we got the Hulk story). The best Spencer stories were Gibbon and separating Peter from Spider-Man and the more recent stuff like Kingpin and Last Remains the worst:
Spencer was always going to finish the MJ arc in his book.Kindred used mysterio to get MJ away from pete.The first arc was part of it.They saw how well it did and wanted to do more.Then it got cancelled.
As much as I want AMJ back it means that we don't get MJ in ASM.Spencer writes a great MJ and half the fun is seeing Pete and MJ together.
I would much rather have MJ be a main part of ASM after the Kindred OMD stuff than have her on a solo.

"So you've come to the end now alive but dead inside."
I agree to a point. I do not think the editorial demand about OMD is still in effect ( otherwise Renew Your Vows would not have been allowed ( Slott made that point when he asked if he could write that story)). But OMD going away is a different animal. It really depends on who the next writer is. Writer X will likely be doing Amazing 1000 and that is my pick to when OMD is erased.

I know this is just fan art but why so many people(not on here but in other forums and such) think that MJ is a cheater is beyond me.Like many people think she actual is
