In the letters page for Invincible Iron Man #7, a fan wrote in a letter expressing bewilderment about Mary Jane being taken away from the Spider-books and showing up in Iron Man. The book's assistant editor, Alanna Smith, replied half-jokingly by stating "THEY WEREN'T TREATING HER RIGHT, GOSH DARNIT. NO ONE PUTS MJ IN A CORNER."
There's an old saying, "Many a true word is spoken in jest."
Do you think that is the case here?
