Unfortunately many of the same people in charge right now are the same individuals who were there working on One More Day 18 yrs ago. This is honestly the longest I've ever seen any specific editorial agenda stick with a comic book; usually there's more leadership changeover. It'll happen, one day.

And if you're interested, we have a Discord to help push that along. I've found that a LOT of Spider-Man readers are hoping Peter & MJ get back on track.

I prefer endorsing a change of their thinking over a change of their job title. But I know how these things go with fans. Just know that nobody has ever lost their job in comics over a bad story that also makes money.

I know I’m not alone here. And I don’t think love that special or unique is beyond a return, but it’ll require a change in the hearts and minds of editors, writers, and readers who are scared to commit to it. I think deeper, genuine love is worth it.
Thanks for listening. 5/5

It’s also just passé. It’s what every other single, irresponsible protagonist in comics mostly does, when Peter & MJ were breaking that mold decades ago. I don’t want “shallow”. I want substance. I don’t want “love interests”. I want actual LOVE. 4/5

I often feel modern ASM is scared to death of embracing the maturity of genuine love - because it’s hard. It’s sacrificial. It’s much simpler to have Peter & MJ just screw around with other people between their messy reconciliations. But it’s just… SHALLOW. 3/5

From the start, MJ & Peter were something different and fresh. It was two people full of pain, often capable of hurting each other, but with a love that pushed through suffering. THIS ISN’T THE SAME AS SUPERFICIAL ATTRACTION. It’s DEEPER than a casual hookup. 2/5

“You still got it” sounds too pedantic when there was never any doubts. Thoroughly enjoyed the first issue and the callbacks (and callforwards).

Feels like yet another good time to plug our pro-marriage Spider-Man Discord too and keep the momentum going. Would love to see fans there!
