That's what they all beleive, but it's looking likely that was a false memory given to everyone.

That sounds a little needlessly convoluted. Granted, this is comics, but still.

Dan Slott answered a Spider-Marriage question on Twitter today. I thought the way he worded it was interesting, he points to Renew Your Vows as a present option for marriage fans, but for him it's "been there, done that", he pointed out that this was just "his take", meaning it might not be the company's take anymore. Just food for thought. https://twitter.com/DanSlott/status/832323064507617284 |

Gerry Conway confirms Jean Grey is happily married in Renew Your Vows
...He does'nt specify if she's married to Scott or not though. Given we have seen artwork of Scott looking 'interested' in MJ, Gerry could be another Marvel writer who likes pairing her up with maybe Logan. Quote:

BTW, some friends of mine have been working on a new ongoing Spider-Man fan 'comic' featuring a married Peter and MJ with Annie as their infant daughter, but is slightly more grounded and tries to utlize all the best elements of the last ten years. Check out the latest issue if you'd like: http://www.spidermancrawlspace.com/2...er-man-2016-6/ |

Although, I wouldn't blame him for wanting to leave more of a legacy for his run; as of late, his run hasn't been exactly earning high praise, I've gathered a recurring theme from online commenters that they think he's running out of steam and his current stuff doesn't compare to his earlier work, not to mention that his run has made very little impression on the franchise as a whole. Quote:
However, I'm really sure why people at Marvel would be surprised that the marriage fans are still around. As I understood it, back in '07, they thought that within a year OMD would be accepted and things would go one. That never really happened. The fanbase that wants nothing to do with post-OMD Spider-Man (or prefers pre-OMD regardless of if they like the new run for what it is) have remained vocal. I mean, when Slott made the official Q and A for Marvel's introduction to his RYV miniseries, he specifically commented that the marriage was a thing that Spidey fans had strong opinions on, and that he may have been understating it.

I think I brought this up before here, but apparently he told fans at conventions he'd been pitching a marriage comeback for a while, and only got permission to do RYV when Secret Wars came about.

Quesada in a rare interview last year insisted removing the marriage was the 'right thing' to do...though this is the same Quesada who actually produced a variant cover for the last issue of Slott's Renew Your Vows. Axel Alonzo, now the EIC, was the man in charge of the Spider-line when OMD went down, so maybe he has a lot to do with the recent Mephisto references, perhaps he feels like some of us do that the time travel retcon is perhaps a little too damaging to long-term investment and it's probably better they reveal it was a mind-wipe job, that allows Quesada's story to stand, but allows Brevoort's opinion to become factual and it does'nt create this idea that post-OMD canon does'nt "count" Quote:

I find the question silly since there have been so many renditions and continuities over the years, and different ones will mean more or less to different people. Kind of like that old Superman quote: "This is a fictional story. Aren't they all?" Quote:

Silver Age Superman ended with the 'imaginary' story "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorow" from Alan Moore, it was never really ellaborated on whether or not that reality 'became' Pre-Flashpoint or not. The Silver Age Superman carried on for a little while longer after the original Crisies event before the John Byrne relaunch. |

At least when DC are convoluted, they make it fun.
NYC Toyfare revealed the new wave of Marvel Legends figures...including the new Mary Jane/Spider-Man two-pack, which, interestingly, pairs her with the Parker Industries version. |

Top 100 for January
https://www.previewsworld.com/Articl...Selling-Comics Probably the most noteworthy thing for this thread is Hydra Cap, the centerpiece of Secret Empire, was outsold last month by an issue of Renew Your Vows focusing on Annie May Parker. People are more interested in Peter's kid than the centerpiece of the 2017 summer blockbuster event. Let that sink in. |

So, it could be a clue of future plans, or just the marketing being a little more flexible. (After all, Spider-Man and MJ are consistently one of the more popular couples in the Marvel franchise.) At any rate, the toys look nice. I hope that this line doesn't have the stiff hinge problem I've sometimes seen with hyper-jointed action figures like this. Quote:

During the Clone Conspiracy, Gwen admitted to Peter that she figured sooner or later he would choose MJ over her even if she had continued to live, and was saddened to hear the two were not presently seeing much of each other. As I've maintained, I doubt very much these days this sort of thing is just coincidental or signs of the company "trolling" fans. I'm sure there is a plan to make Peter and MJ happen again in the mainline books, we just have to wait and see. Quote:
Spencer's very public meltdowns over Trump and DC sales outperforming his books haven't helped make him entirely likeable with fans either. He may just outperform Dan Slott in that area. It still has to stick in Marvel's craw though, considering that, regardless of what fans think, Hydra Cap is supposed to be THE biggest deal in the Marvel Universe right now, with Secret Empire announced last month, and it can't seem to get a sales spike over an alternate-reality title.

(Really ironic turn of events for Clone Conspiracy, given that Ultimate Spider-Man also had a scene with a clone Gwen telling Peter she knew that MJ was the one he was truly in love with.) Quote:

I'm frankly through with Trump, so if Spencer doesn't like him, I don't blame him. But still, I think the best revenge is to have a happy life in cases like this and then vote for the people that match your beliefs next election. The man's not worth getting upset over, if you're not planning to write to your representatives or be more constructive in how you handle your displeasure with the commander-in-chief. As for DC, it is what it is, and what it is is and it's always been a series of ups and downs. Marvel will have its turn soon enough. Quote:
(Also worth noting: RYV is still below ASM.)

Why focus on that? We know RYV is niche. Would we like it to be a bit higher? Sure, but it's still at a sustainable number.
