I haven't bought the second issue. I got the first after only dipping in and out of ASM for the last few years simply because of "the promised answers". But given how wishy washy the first issue seemed to me, it now feels like the entire arc is simply damage control for a controversial move rather than a well told, well conceived story.
And then it occurred to me that from my point of view it really doesn't matter what answer is given for the method by which the marriage never happened, or what continuity changes that mechanism affects. Because the how it happened still does not explain the why it had to happen satisfactorily enough to be able to enjoy the regressed Peter Parker that now graces the pages. The answers of how are not going to bring me back into the fold, no matter how acceptable they might be. I do not relate to this Parker, I do not find a common man element in him any longer. If he were in college, then sure. If Aunt May were dead and he had never picked himself up from that, then maybe. But I cannot respect or relate to him while he persists in being only responsible as Spider-Man, and essentially a late 20's (whatever way you cut the MU sliding timeline, that's around the age he is now) bum. The not being able to find a job, not being able to keep a job, or a date. Not being able to make rent or be on time for anything - hilarious back in the 60's and 70's. Fitting for a college student or finding his feet 22yr old. But not for a 27ish yr old - its more pitiful. And I don't like to pity heroes.
