In the latest installment of the Spider-Man comic series, Peter Parker is pictured kissing a woman other than his longtime sweetheart, Mary Jane. Fans are not happy.
Comment: Quesada has complained about Spidey's marriage for years. He seems to think that it doesn't allow for good stories. That is odd considering that he has been married for 20 YEARS!!! It never seemed to be a problem for Michelinie, Defalco, Dezago, Dematteis, Mackie, Kavanagh, Conway, and so many others. The current editors and writers are just not clever enough to make it work.
Comment: Hm. Yes, of course the comics need to maintain a status quo (angry JJ Jameson, etc) but this seems still a mis-step; not least because Marvel seemed on the cusp of a few years of really intelligent story-telling: masked heroes without the mask - an 'outed; Spidey. There was a great chance here, now lost. (Well, maybe: this is a alternate, false reality, after all). Seems Spiderwriters always panic in the short - term, and fail to trust in the slow burn storyline. We shall see. And, hell: it might mean Ben Reilly's still around ...
