Mary Jane Loves Spider-Man Relaunch Writer Confirmed

[ZariusTwo]

Cult favourate Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane will fold with issue twenty, but will be relaunching under a new writer replacing original writer Sean McKeever. That person is Strangers In Paradise writer Terry Moore.

Strangers In Paradise brought new depth to the generic romance/drama, and it's dark storylines and flawed characters are ideal for this title. I suspect theyll be moving on from high school soon to college, where Moore will really get to show what hes made of, and if not, he may be impaitent enough to start early.

I think the first volume ended remarkably well, it didnt tie up enough to be the "final" story for Steve, or thankfully the series (as it will continue)), but it also resolved Peter and MJ's present relationship, in a "true Spider-Man" series of events, both characters seperate love lives were shattered. Steve is also making use of the old Lee/Ditko Gwen Stacy, who was a manipulative b*tch which Peter finally rejects. We even got a sneek peek at Harry's vendetta against Spidey slowly emerging. Nice detail.
