Comics The "Imaginary" CountDown to Spider-Man IV thread...

[Donald Thomas]

Death has been his destiny more times than I can count.

(And isn't that cliched title kinda silly? Everyone is destined to die)

Aloha,
Cliches in a comic book? Never!

Aahhhhh... the News that never happened.... lulz...

Has this actually been stated in the comics?

 

[Themanofbat]

Has this actually been stated in the comics?

Not in the comics, but JQ has stated that OMD changed the fact that they got married, and apparantly, MJ never carried Peter's baby...

But it has NOT been stated in the comics...

I think eventually, like years down, they will acknowledge the fact that MJ did still get pregnant. It was a big story, how could it have not happened?

OK cool.

Damn, I thought I might of missed or forgot when this happened.
