Marvel have handily connected all the dots, or rather, puzzle pieces from their last 4 teaser images hinting at what’s to come for Peter Parker this year. Hopefully it means a reunion with his wife Mary Jane Watson. Yay! Their separation/mind wipe in the One More Day storyline was a bad call, and hopefully Marvel are now convinced that a single Spider-Man doesn’t necessarily mean a greater audience for single readers who can identify with the character. Married men can have just as much fun, and that’s what Spidey’s all about.

I don’t get why they thought single male comic book readers wouldn’t like an escapist fantasy where they had an awesome hot red-head wife.
True, but Marvel’s reasoning was that all these single readers would suddenly flock to read Spidey each month, because he’s single too and now they can relate to him. It takes more than that to attract new readers though and I’m glad Marvel have finally relalsed that they need to show some respect to the readers who’ve stuck with Spidey for the last 20 years.
