I loved Spidey all my life but when Marvel done OMD that was the last straw for me. I absolutely loathe Joey Q to this very day and I always will. I've never liked Dan Slott either.

I had a possible theory during the original RYV series that Peter and MJ had married very early. In 616, MJ turned Peter's first proposal and moved away for a few months before coming back and ultimately accepted the second proposal, but what if the RYV MJ accepted Peter's first proposal way back in the Wolfman run? I don't think anyone's done that before. Quote:
RYV sold well the first time, and Marvel are a business. Regardless of where they think the relationship should be in the main canon, they're not going to sit on easy money like that Nobody just does what they want at this company either, everything goes through channels and approved before things go through. For all the s*it thrown in Quesada and Alonzo's face, they're the one who have final say on approving things like this. Same with the OMD references. Somebody high up at Marvel is clearly mellowing. 2017 is the marriage's 30th anniversary (and OMD's tenth), it makes sense to publish something and keep it going throughout most of that year, but obviously Marvel don't want to interrupt Dan Slott's ongoing storylines either, so this is the compromise for now. |

I guess I'm not sure if the managers really want it coming back as part of the "real "character. As I understand it, while side stories and other iterations are utilizing the relationship, the main comics are still working to wedge the characters apart even further. Quote:
So, if they do anything on 616's end, I'm predicting that it'll just be to get money out of us and will wind up yanking our collective chains. They've been dropping hints at a reconciliation for years and then pulling the rug under us after we swallowed it. I don't see any reason for them to change this pattern of behavior. Would Marvel worry about interrupting Slott's run, since Secret Wars did just that? I'm not sure if making RYV is a compromise, since I think they're only trying to provide a product that they know will sell. |

I've read concerns from other people the amount of time it's taken to get an ongoing RYV series when other SW tie-ins got titles (Old Man Logan, X-Men 92, Weirdworld) got books almost immediately demonstrates how Marvel are somewhat doing this almost like it's under protest Quote:

Now, X-Men '92 was a surprise hit that was not intended to go further, and it continued pretty promptly. So, it would seem that RYV's delay, given that it was arguable the most successful and popular tie-in series of the Secret Wars event, could be connected to Marvel higher-ups not really wanting to bring back the Spider-Man marriage on a regular basis anywhere. On the other hand, we don't know how long it took them to find a creative team to write it, an empty publishing slot, etc. So, while it's always a possibility that some Marvel employees were not eager to do it, we don't know how long it took to get ducks in a row when it was decided.

No, it's an actual variant for the first issue
Marvel are doing this a lot with Spider-Books. One variant for the new Venom series features a recolouring/retrace of a Todd McFarlane image. |

Was that a dinosaur? I am so looking forward to this! (Question: If I wanted to collect the single issues alongside the trades, do I have to order them in advance, or can you just go to a store after the release date and buy them off the shelf?
