They spotlight JR’s article about how Gwen was seduced by Norman Osborn. Check out the Cracked article and then read JR’s original article. Good job buddy!

We really should do a poll of the visitors to the site and ask “How did you find the site?” If “I was reading SpideyKicksButt.com and saw a link for it” is not #1 or in the top five I will be very surprised.
@-#16-I was the same
@15: Aah, that Mary Jane essay is just wonderful! My first introduction to JR, Spidey Kicks Butt and then in turn, the Crawlspace! 🙂
That was such a great article! JR’s original I mean. Loved it so much that I went on to read the 3 part Mary Jane one. Congrats, Madgoblin.
Fans are better at keeping continuity. Creators should consult them more often. Didn’t Mark Millar consult the folks at spiderfan.org for his 12-parter? What would it take for Marvel to consult JR, Bertone, and Spideydude? Seriously…
Congrats JR!
Wait wait wait… Marvel took JR’s explanation… AND MADE IT OFFICIAL?!?!?!?
600,000+ views. If it hasn’t happened already, we’ll soon reach a point where more people will read about JR’s Sins Past theory on cracked than will have read Sins Past.
@JR: I think you win.
Way to go Jr! The article implies you barely escaped a restraining order!
Nice one.
Just came from there, it’s so great to see him acknowledged, he certainly deserves it. Congrats, JR!!!
Nice. Congrats JR.
Wahoo!
I knew Fettinger was ‘cracked’ a long, long time ago. 8)
It’s official. According to Cracked.com, J.R. is in Nerd Heaven.
Well done!
oh dear god…I guess I don’t have to be insanely jealous of Spideydude because Peter David copped his idea about a Spidey/JJJ confrontation post the unmasking then do I?
Way to go JR!!! Congrats!!!
Thanks to Mister Mets for the heads up.
