More like a slap in the face

Aside from the NY Post's predictable sensationalizing of this news, Joe Quesada otherwise admits his disrespect for Spidey fans:
January 7, 2008 -- Spider-Man, you dog!

The first issue of the Amazing Spider-Man to feature a single Spidey in 20 years hits comic book stores this week, and the first page shows the webbed wonder's alter ego Peter Parker locking lips with a woman who isn't wife Mary Jane Watson.

"The first page is a real shocker and it's done on purpose. It's a bit of a slap of reality to longtime readers," said Marvel editor-in-chief Joe Quesada.

Those readers are still reeling from the company's controversial move in the most recent issue, where the friendly neighborhood wall-crawler and his missus had their marriage wiped out.

The supernatural split has enraged many spider-fans who'd invested years in following the relationship and were offended by the split. Some have been venting their anger online, organizing campaigns to send Marvel torn-up Spider-Man comics and threatening boycotts.
I hope the boycotts are implemented. I'm not taken in by this dreck. Only Mary Jane Watson is the one I want to see Peter make love to. I'm actually rather put off that the NY Post is talking about it; they really just love this sensationalized slop, don't they? Good that I don't have to pay any cash to read them.

And reality? My foot.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
