The Wedding Album is selling out in LCS, necessitating more orders, according to discord commotion.
"The Enigma Force is not a tool to be manipulated by mortals. The Enigma Force comes to those it deems worthy. What temerity, what arrogance, makes you think you are worthy? Have you not all made mistakes? Unforgiveable ones?" - Captain Universe
"Call me an Avenging Angel, Baron, come to safeguard Earth...call me CAPTAIN UNIVERSE!" - Ray Coffin
"You're my heart, Mary Jane Watson...you're my jackpot." - Peter Parker
Found this cover to vol.5 #76 at my LCS yesterday:
(Isn't...isn't that her Wedding Ring? )
Having gone back and reread it, I actually liked the concept of Beyond, it wasn't a bad arc, although the ending could have been...better.

Beyond was great when written by anyone but Zeb Wells.
The ring is on the wrong hand to be a wedding/engagement ring but people were thrilled to see it on this cover anyway. Sigh. It’s hard to believe just a year ago we were all so excited about what might be ahead.

Oh yeah. That Amhed issue with Peter and MJ? That was awesome, especially when MJ freaking iced that monster! The alien "doctor" looked familiar though...wasn't he the guy who delivered Mayday and then lied about her being stillborn?
Certainly filled me with a lot of hope for the future...only for it to be cruelly whisked away and replaced by Paul and Rek-Rap. Worst characters ever.

Really excited about where the Superman books are going, seems like they're going to do a play on 'Parker Industries' only with the Super-marriage and family dynamic

If MJ were working for Tony as was the case for much of Parker Industries, then it would have been interesting, she would have a conflict of interest, loyalty to her boss or her husband, and having insider knowledge of both outfits which enemies could exploit (and she'd kick their ass if they tried)
We saw them try to mine that during Power Play and it didn't come off all that well. The only reason she was picked up by Bendis for Iron Man was because Slott had no plans for using her.
They just didn't think through a lot back then, either her working for Tony or the stuff with Peter.
