Got my copy, too.
While the main story (fighting Mole Man) wasn't advanced much, I did like that we know know more of his plans: Spoiler:
Spending most of the time focusing on Mary Jane herself and her new lot in line was a smart call. I think I had a better understanding of the series with the new info and insights provided. Also like how Conway used similar scenes to show how MJ and Peter are alike and different. And as far as her new codename goes, hats off to the fact that it's something unique but perfectly in line with the spider motif. Spoiler:

It makes sense if you follow mainline stuff. |

Okay. I suppose the former could make some degree of sense on occasion. I've heard of the latter, actually. As far as that goes, it's a load of garbage to be sure, but what'd you expect from material that's supposed to support the OMD status quo and claim that it fixed the franchise?
(I have heard that RYV has taken a few jabs at the main ASM title. Conway confirmed that Peter's dismissal of the idea of a lab job was intended as a nod to Slott's comics, but, since Conway has been generally complimentary to Slott in interviews, I'm not sure if it's intended as criticism.

Apparently Peter and MJ have a big fight in the issue Stegman is currently drawing, it's possible the scene I posted is the aftermath of their argument and they're making up.

That would make sense.

More of the fight
You actually sort of get the feeling these are the kind of tiffs that bring a smile to your face. Just from what I can see from Peter and MJ's facial expressions, the argument is sort of being played for "oh I know this situation"-type laughs by Stegman, who's married with kids himself. Trust me, from how the fight has been steadily building over the past two issues, the fight here is based entirely out of love and concern for the other. It's a safe kind of fight because they're thinking selflessly about the other, and want what's best for the family and their crusade going forward. |

Some interesting news regarding an ASM Epic Collection coming out. Amongst the reprints in the edition (The end of the Hobgoblin Saga, Spider-Man vs Wolverine, Kraven's Last Hunt) will be the entire Wedding story arc, marking the first time Peter and MJ's marriage has been reprinted since the 90s. Also included in this collection will be the Spectacular Spider-Man annual that served as the follow up (Peter and MJ's honeymoon), which has never seen reprint before.
The first trade of Conway and Stegman's RYV is scheduled for the same month also, so it's likely to tie into that, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was something else going on. https://www.amazon.com/Amazing-Spide...dp/1302907050/ Oh, and this tickled me |

Wish the RYV trade had an unique cover, but it's not a bad one. Well, six issues in the first set isn't too bad. May have to see about the pre-order offer. Quote:

Yeah, it's been taking off, not just memes too. Fan art and cosplayers are starting to crop up for this.
An interesting side to Annie's spider-sense is shown in the official preview of Renew Your Vows#3, seems she shares the same kind of future flashes Kaine used to have (as Peter and MJ only wound up being chained up trying to rescue Annie, when she has yet to arrive here) http://www.cbr.com/amazing-spider-ma...your-vows-3-3/ |

RYV#3
Spoiler:
And lastly, the comic has a letters page, with the editor of the book, Darren, revealing that he too is a massive Spider-Marriage fan and saying some encouraging things about MJ ought to be remembered for her days as Peter's wife! |

December 2016 sales
Renew Your Vows took a steep drop last month, and was beaten by Clone Conspiracy and it's tie-ins. That said, it did far better than Miles Morales and Spider-Gwen (which was number 100) |

I want the book to succeed as well (and this number is by no means bad for an AU book), I'm just trying to work out what is turning some people off of it. ASM has more going for it because, much as we wish it wasn't, it has the distinct advantage of "mattering" because it's mainline canon, and a fan favorite in Ben Reilly came back. However, Clone Conspiracy is still underperforming and being beaten soundly by Superman (a book with a happily married hero which just happens to have the advantage of being mainline) |
