Readers of the daily “Amazing Spider-Man” newspaper strip were greeted to this teaser on December 31st. On January 1st we find a younger Peter waking up at his Aunt May’s. Seems to be the writing is on the wall, or newsprint.

there’s now a thread on the message board…
make mine DC! I’d rather have a crisis every 15 years than a deal with the devil with no repercussions!
To Irishlad: I don’t think that it’s a matter of readers, such as ourselves, caring so much about the strip itself. Rather it’s the way this situation keeps being shoved at us. A lot of us feel that the retcon of the character was not needed, especially in the manner that it was done. Now, a year down the road, it’s been done again in the same way it was done before – everything’s changed without real explanation. The difference is that now it’s been done in a different media. That’s what we care about.
Quesada has a great friend and a friend like Mephisto, everything is possible.
Of course you do!
It seems to explicitly be part of a storyline that’ll probably end with still Peter and MJ happily married. Because otherwise there’s no way to explain the sudden development (unless they’re going to hope that the readers of the strip don’t care).
But it’s probably a wise move for Marvel to get rid of the marriage in the comic strip, to make it more consistent with the comics, considering that the comic strip will probably encourage some readers to check out the comics (it’s how I was introduced to the series.) And while some may note that it was a desire to have consistent characterization that led to Spider-Man’s shotgun wedding, I think the marriage was a bad idea for the comic strip, too.
I used to read it daily when it was in the St. Louis Post Dispatch. They took it out about five years ago and I haven’t been following it since. It was mildly entertaining.
So, how many of you actually read the strip? And if not why do you care what happens here?
maybe this is a untold tale of Spider-man story, like they do with Amzing Spider-man family
10 to 1 this is either a plot by Mysterio to find out Spider-Man’s secret identity, or that the past 20 years of the strip have all been a dream a la Bobby Ewing. Either way, this is ridiculous.
That’s not a very nice New Years gift!
I liked what Kevin said.
I bet Stan was waiting for them to discontinue the marrige so he could too lol. Now they can blame Q’ie and say it was his fault that the strip changed too. Pretty smart move…..
Hmm..interesting. Stan is a fan of the new direction of ASM so this would make sense. Then again it could all me smoke and mirrors for something totally different.
Stan is the man LOL!!
QUESADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
…Why Stan….why…..
*facepalm*
