Revenge of the Spider-wank!
Moved from clairvoyantwank. Also apologies to Critical Cricket who did an earlier write up that I missed!


The newest Amazing Spider-Man, "One More Day" came out and set the comics web a-twitter mostly due to the fact that Peter Parker made a deal with Mephisto (the devil, more or less, in the Marvelverse) to erase Peter and MJ's marriage to save Aunt May's life.

Many fans aren't happy, (including Protoclown over at I-mockery) which makes sense 'cause this more or less fucks with 20 years of comics continuity. All may or may not have been well, but Editor In Chief and PR mess extrordinaire Joe Quesada is talking again. You may remember him from such wanks as the the MJ statue wank.

The fans have been busy. Mostly, they hate Joe Q and want his guts on a stick. So far I've found one dissenting opinion.

Oh, and the author, J. Michael Straczynski speaking out against it too, sort of, which can only add fuel to the wank fire. Apparently Joe Q. had so much input over the content of the comic, that JMS wanted his name removed from the work.

Looks like Peter will have to start doing his own laundry now, huh?

ETA: Dorian Wright weighs in with his apathy. Also, I forgot that Shortpacked ran a comic about it too.

I'd say we should knit it some booties, but Joe Q would just retcon it away because it made the wank look too old.

If they fuck up Deadpool, I'm gone.

I'm all "Bzuh?" that anyone who's ever read a comic really believes this is a permanent seperation. I thought it was obvious that the next few months of Spidey storylines will be MJ and Peter falling back in love and/or realizing what's happened and moving heaven and earth to repair it. With a side bonus of May beating Peter with her purse when she realizes what he did, because you know she wouldn't go for that.

And Harry's back. I liked Harry.:) (And actually, I'm betting that Harry's that first one to figure out something's amiss, since after all he's not supposed to be alive.)

Also, I thought the art was really pretty.

I dunno, he got rid of the love of his life to keep an aunt who's supposed to be dead several times over. That's issues right there. If I were Mary Jane and I figured this all out, I might just call it quits for good. His choice feels /unhealthy/; there's a time to cling and a time to let go, and with all that's happened to Aunt May he should really be doing that letting go bit. Quesada is doing a good job of making sure they shouldn't get back together, unfortunately; he's made Mary Jane way better off without Spiderman, though I'm sure that wasn't his intention.

Since the main continuity is now "Joe Q's personal shithole", I will stick to MY continuity, in which Peter and MJ are still married.

FANBOY POWERS, GO!

Seriously, there's a good reason that my reading list these days (Punisher Max, Punisher War Journal, Invincible, Fables, Jack of Fables, Blue Beetle, Criminal, Y The Last Man, Immortal Iron Fist, Doktor Sleepless, a couple others) has almost nothing that has anything to do with mainstream continuity, or if it does, is on the very periphery.

I think Quesada's right: single Spiderman opens up a lot more possible storylines that weren't possible when he was married. Will Peter screw around for a while, get crabs? Go clubbing, try some X? Invest in a wacky business ventures with Harry Osborn to open their own fried chicken stand? The possibilities are endless!

Infact, opening up new story possibilities is the main reason that--as sources tell me--the next storyline will be BABY SPIDERMAN! Marvel as you watch all the same events happen all over again, only much, much slower! Peter's mother gets stung by a radioactive spider while pregnant. After she dies of cancer(SPIDER cancer!), Peter is raised by totally MILF Aunt May(special swimsuit issue to follow). How can you get a baby to take a nap when he's crawling on the ceiling? Does a baby Spiderman crap webs? All these questions and MORE, when you quit your bitching and buy our fucking comics already!

Alright, I'll go back to drinking myself into oblivion now.

And, of course, the lone dissenting opinion has his facts wrong: Not only were Gwen's mystery twins a Joey Q Mandated Special AND not only did he refuse to let JMS make the twins Peter's kids (which makes a hell of a lot more sense then Gwen boffing Norman Osborn, but doesn't explain the fact that Gwen was never gone long enough to account for a full-term pregnancy) BUT THEN insisted that the Goblin Twins were not to be wiped out by OND. Which is pretty much the last story "twist" of the last decade to not have been erased by Satan-Man...

Y'know, I'm actually more disappointed about the re-masking of Spider-Man. I'd be willing to bet Peter and MJ will get back together, but I'd also bet that that mask ain't never comin' off again. The unmasking was what got me back into reading Marvel.

(... It occurs to me that virtually any canon contradiction stemming from this reworking will be an actual case of "a wizard did it".)

OMD is the most uncool thing to come out of comics since...last Wednesday? Honestly, someone needs to tell both DC and Marvel that all this Major Universe Changing Event shit they pull every month is repetitive and lame, but mostly a Major Insult To The Fans. To which, said fans respond with fiery protestations.

Still don't even... though I like the wank. Thats interesting.
