Spidey Single again?
« on: January 11, 2008, 04:16:31 PM »
Yup. Marvel realized just how hard it is keeping the storyline straight and are pulling out the old "A Wizard did it" line and totally erasing Spiderman's marriage to M.J. after twenty some years.

FTFA: "We knew it would be a very controversial thing to do," says Joe Quesadilla Quesada, Marvel's editor in chief.

No kidding? "Hey all you geeks, guess what? That whole Peter Parker and Mary Jane being together thing? It didn't happen. Oh and Aunt May is still alive now.

I suppose if anybody has the comic when they get hitched in the first place, they should probably hold on to it, as I'm sure it will be worth a quite a bit.

"Nobody wants to read about a married Spider-Man," says Craig Shutt, a columnist for Comics Buyers Guide. "But in the short run, it's a terrible idea. It disrespects the readers by saying everything they read is wrong."

YEAH EVERYTHING YOU READ ABOUT A MAKE BELIEVE SUPERHERO IS INCORRECT, YOU SEE WHAT REALLY HAPPENS IS

Cherubim is plural; Genesis 3:24 specifies one flaming sword. Presumably flaming swords were in short supply."

You should read Marvel Zombies then. (No joke, look it up.)
