Marvel Teases Return of Spider-Man's Marriage

Well not after he came back....

This was about 2001-2002 though.

I've been a comic fan since the 80s, though. Never heard it.

It was actually in 2005 or 6, almost the same time Bucky Barnes came back as the Winter Soldier. Todd was revived as a similar gun-toting antihero/villain called the Red Hood. And they're both still around.

OT: I am... OK with this. If it's Marvel's way of acknowledging their total F#$%-up with OMD, I'm all for it.

I'm not really feeling it. I don't know, I'd like them to stick to one idea. It'd be nice for them to stick to Mary Jane and Peter being done. I'm almost more interested in him and Silk getting together, or at least with a superhero, because at least then it's not exactly putting his loved one in anymore danger than she was already in. It makes more sense, and considering they aren't together because he has to go through so much shit as Spider-Man, I think it's just best for normal people to not go out with him. You'd think she'd learn by now, it just isn't worth it to herself, or even to Peter.

That may be why DC put Lois Lane and Superman in the "Friend Zone" (WOOOOOOOOOOOO!) to hook him up with Wonder Woman.

I know who he is. I just don't recall the saying ever using Jason Todd.

I seriously cannot fathom why ANYONE would be upset about this.

This is actually the best, happiest, and most satisfying news (if true) that I've read about Spider-man in years.

I mean, getting rid of "One More Day", and reintroducing "Mayday" Parker into the comic line proper again? Who could honestly stand against that?

I have no idea what Marvel's doing, but if they bring the marriage, and his kid, back into comics, I'll definitely pick the book up again (I quit HARD after "One More Day").


Spider-man without Mary Jane is like Batman without Alfred or Shaggy without Scooby-Doo. I have no interest in them separated.

Personally, I'm not upset about them bringing back Mary Jane and moreso not possibly bringing 'back' little May Parker. My annoyance is that Marvel ever did crap like "One More Day" or "No More Mutants" in the first place and then promptly retconned them when the very predictable backlash got too loud to dismiss.
