The Spider-Marriage is Back in the Strip

That's right, marriage fans! No longer a "swinging single," the Spider-Man newspaper strip seems to have pulled a Dallas, except this time, no one is really upset about it. Only a matter of time before it gets restored in the main Marvel comic line. Bet it.

Don't be so sure, so many Spider-Man haters started enjoying Spider-Man comics since BND (there is an example this guy in CBR "_OM_").

The stories now are no longer simple rehashes and Spider-Man can fight super villains, so a major part of your disgust by the start of BND is cut away.

Why don't you read the new issues and state your opinion on them? Cause it isn't the marriage that makes the stories all groovy, "Howard Mackie" wrote much more disgusting stories with a married or a Single Spider-Man so this makes you only care about the marriage.

I'm actually glad he & MJ broke up, she's hot and all but I don't want to marry someone like her loving to party and act in romantic scenes

I think the main problem is the characterization and the step backwards, plus the editorial and co. feeling as if the the marriage is the problem instead of the writing.

One More Day left a very black mark on Spidey's character and logic, and then seeing everyone act like an immature jerk makes me feel like I'm reading about another guy.

I haven't read every single OMD issue, but I've read and own several, and that's what I've seen.


As for MJ partying, I could see where the concern would lie, although the party-girl thing was an outward persona that she put on when hurting from either her broken family or perhaps when she's trying not to think about what danger Pete is in.

I do wonder what ever came of potential romantic/nude scenes though, since the topic did come up back in the Revenge of the Sinister Six storyline in the early 90's, but the gist of it was, Pete wasn't keen on it, and MJ decided they weren't doing if it was just to be eye-candy with no merit towards such scenes.

Since MJ is usually in B-movies, I'm doubting anything major involving a nude scene has ever come up. Still...you never know.
Sol, my disgust with ASM has a lot more to do with just the removal of the marriage, even if and when it comes back, I can't say I'll come back to the book. Tommy pretty much summed up my feelings on things.

Justice League: Doom

Watching DVDs on the computer is nice but sometimes it's better to watch them on TV. So after some thinking, I decided to get myself a new DVD player. This one is by Sony and it only set me back $40. Why didn't I get a Blu-Ray player? Because I'm not 100% sold on them. Besides, I hear the PS3 is a good Blu-Ray player as opposed to the PS2's DVD playback functionality, which was crap. When I get a PS3, I'll have Blu-Ray, so I can wait. And yet, when I bought my new DVD player, I picked up my first Blu-Ray movie. Well it came with Blu-Ray and DVD. Justice League: Doom is the latest DC Universe animated film. How prepared is Batman? Prepared to take down his own teammates, if it becomes necessary. Based off the Justice League of America: Tower of Babel story written by Mark Waid, JL: Doom explores Batman's paranoid nature. Batman has taken measures to stop each member of the Justice League should they ever go rouge or sub-come to mind control from ...

Marvel Wants to Hear From YOU!

In the letter page of Amazing Spider-Man #565, Spidey editor Steve Wacker filled the page with nothing but negative letters from readers that hate Brand New Day. Who says Marvel doesn't listen to the fans? And what's more, Mr. Wacker has even asked us to write in and tell them how we feel. Can you believe that? It takes class to run nothing but angry letters and a couple of those to the right are pretty nasty. My mother actually suggested I write to the editor and state my feelings on the molestation of Spider-Man in ASM. I'd been meaning to write them, but I just never sat down to do so. With the editor of the Spidey books kindly saying that the letter's page is "the place to vent," I think the time has finally come for me to express myself. I don't know if it will get printed since I've stopped reading ASM, but if they take my letter and many others that are outraged by BND to heart, then that's all that matters. Dear ASM Staff, Do you know what ...
