It's not their choice, and Miles while popular is not near Pete's level.
But we are moving in that direction, I think just a few of them(editors) have to leave.
I find it funny that as soon as we deal w/ OMD and Bring Peter MJ together the very next run is sidelining them, using Ben to do it Again.It's a short term story but dear god the editors don't get what we want to read, do they
Insomniac's Spider-Man 2 was announced with a 2023 release date. And while we didn't see Mary Jane in the first trailer, you know we'll see her again in the game itself.
Having taken the opportunity to watch that movie again on HBO Max, that would be incredibly horrific to inflict on the Parker family . . . which is why it would fit in well for Osborn. Hell, the tech the Joker used to implant his DNA and consciousness inside Tim Drake like some kind of time bomb makes more sense coming from someone like Osborn than the Joker, even if "Epilogue" in Justice League Unlimited retconned/revealed that the Joker just stole that tech from Cadmus.
Since it's in 2 years, that's plenty of time for a full trailer or two with Mary Jane in it to drop.
The spider is always on the hunt.

Since Insomniac made MJ a reporter I wonder if they'll use her as some kind of connective tissue between their other Marvel games. Who wants to see Wolverine hit on MJ in his upcoming Insomniac game?

So Spider's Shadow came and ended.
There were some panels there I liked but I couldn't place a finger why until now.

I always wondered how MJ looked behind that flower with that babushka scarf, and Pasquale Ferry's take on MJ in the last scenes of Spider's Shadow #5 reveals a hint of how that must have seemed.
