Spider-Man Meets New Sidekick Alpha!

Of all the ideas Marvel could have utlized for the 50th anniversary of thier flagship hero (Undoing OMD, make Peter and MJ parents etc) they go for the tired old concept of "let's give Peter a teenage sidekick that's bound to get on everyone's nerves"

I give him a few years before he's either killed off or fades into complete obscurity like Carlie Cooper, Mattie Franklyn, Bobby Carr and those other Stacys.

You gotta be kidding me! I thought Marvel did not have sidekicks as they have kept since the 60s' and Bucky was the reason why. It seems too late in a character's history to be gainning a sidekick. I loved Ends of The Earth but these next two arcs got me wondering why Marvel likes to constantly crap on Spider-Man. I was hoping for Peter and Mary Jane's marriage to be reinstated with Quesada gone! I wonder if Spider-Man trains him and he goes off on his own leaving Spider-Man to go back and helm his title by himself. The name Andy(Andrew Garfield) MacGuire(Toby McGuire) is amusing at least.

The current EIC, Axel Alonzo. was Steve Wacker's predecessor as Spider-Man's editor and he helped supervise the development of One More Day, so there's little chance of Peter and MJ getting back together with him in charge

Not that it matters, there still married in the newspaper strips, which can easily be found online.

To be fair I can see it lasting for as long as Slott is involved in Spider-Man and how long he personaly wants it to.

That is the best sidekick Spider-Man can have but unfortunately Marvel does not see it that way. Peter and Mary Jane just work. Can't say that about many comic book couples. I wonder what #700's pages will contain?

I could care less about 700. Spidey hasnt had a good anniversary story since 400, where Aunt May died (and in the Spider-Girl continuity, this death is still valid, making that universe more legit than 616)

They couldn't have just had him be 616 Miles?
