Finally got a chance to read ASM # 670. A HUGE improvement from the previous three issues. Could that have been because there was absolutely no Carlie Cooper? Hmm...maybe?
I'm serious here, people. I am NOT a fan of Mary Jane...never have been and the fact that they ended the marriage warmed my heart. Now never had a problem with Carlie Cooper until I'd say the past four to five months where it seems she is being forced down our throats. Now if the plan is to make me HATE Carlie Cooper and fall in love with MJ and root for her and want to see her and Peter get back together...then I say to Marvel and Dan Slott that you are truly brilliant and deserve to be toted the greatest mainstream comic creative team EVER! Because that's exactly what's happening! I'm actually ROOTING for MJ. When she got the spider powers in this issue I freakin' cheered. I actually shouted, "YES!". Yeah, me...the guy who has hated MJ since basically the beginning of his Spider-Man reading back in 1993.
So, if this is the plan...to get Peter and MJ back together it's a brilliant idea.
If they do go with the storyline of getting Peter/MJ back together I'll probably come back to the book.
