The Future Of The Amazing Spider-Man Comic Strip
Big changes are coming to the Spider-Man newspaper strip
From March 25th, the strip will be going into reruns. It is not known how long these reruns will last, the strip will eventually return with a brand new creative team. http://www.dailycartoonist.com/index...n-comic-strip/ |

Does anyone actually care about the comic strip?

I do, and it's proving popular enough to have some of the older material collected in trades.
Yeah, most of the fanbase that comment on it are incredibly snarky, but they're like that with every strip available on Comic Kingdom. I enjoy the strip more than the regular books, and it's the only place left where Peter and MJ are married. |

Roy Thomas, the uncredited writer of the ASM newspaper strip, recently commented on the changes coming to the strip...he didn't know of any, all he knows is the strip as we know it is done!

Today was the final new Sunday edition of the current era. Peter and MJ make their way out of the Bugle, with Peter putting on a fake Australian accent to mock the fact he turned down a big raise to stay behind in the city and cancel their vacation. MJ tells Peter she loves him, Peter says "ditto". And that's it. The final panel is a classic Romita sketch of Spider-Man with Stan's immortal catchphrase "EXCELSIOR" in a caption at the bottom.

And that's it. The end of the road for the current regime. MJ gets the lion's share of the dialogue, saying that it's been her lifelong dream to travel to Australia and that she has her achivements in Hollywood and Broadway to thank for it. She's glad that they can spend every minute of the vacation together, with Peter's only comments being how lucky he is to be with her. MJ holds up a newspaper to read with Spider-Man plastered on the front, the headline? 'NUFF SAID.
