101 jeremy brockto much to say
102 Tim SlottJust horrible.
103 Joseph HeshionFirst off, I have been an absolute loyal Spidey fan since day one. (20 years, since I was 5) I have been through many ups and downs. I have seen Cosmic Spidey, Symbiotes, Maximum Carnage, Robot Parents, The Spider, the Clone Saga, I've survived the Byrne reboot and I've dabled in mystic Spider Totems. I thought after the dreck that was The Other, we as fandom had hit rock bottom. I was wrong. Don't get me wrong, I'm not out of the group that finds Spidey awful in the last few years, far from it. In fact I think not since JMS's run on Amazing have we gotten good Spider tales. I mean we got Morlun (1st cool new villain in years) Aunt May finally finding out the secret (even though Amazing 400 can never be topped) Sins Past (yes I liked it, screw me) The unmasking (which I thought was brilliant, and not used to it's potential. Instead just to make way for Back in Black which wasn't too bad) but what's it all lead to? Ending the marriage? With Freakin' Mephisto?!! Your kidding me, surely the vastly superior writers at Marvel wouldn't lower themselves to a decision worse than DC's Superboy retcon punch. Oh wait. They did. I've been loyal but yet can't help but feel like someone kicked my dog. Hard. I mean if going to use a magical solution, why not Loki? Or even Wanda? something that has a previous tie to it. Not alter 20+ years of continuity, just because the man in charge has a wet dream and wants to see Spidey frolic with a bunch of Super sluts. This is so ridiculous, Brand New Day whatever you want to call it sounds more like Same Old S^&$. Mr Slott is the only reason, I picked up Amazing 546 and I pray to God he can pull a miracle out of his hat. On a final note, I grew up with Spider-Man, A married Spider-Man. At no time did I ever feel this burden bog him down or make him boring. In fact, I think that it made him more unique and special than other Super Heroes. To the point where DC even tried to duplicate it with Superman and Lois, but couldn't come close. Spider-Man has always represented growth and responsibility. Getting rid of Baby May was the most wasted storyline I thought. One that seems never destined to return. Seriously though this is comics. Not real life, things change, not always for the better. However, does anyone find it funny that the man who laid the editorial hammer down, is married himself. You know Joe Q, just because you may be bored with marriage, doesn't make us bored with Spidey's. The only way I will except the "new" status quo, is that if MJ retained her memories of the marriage to disclose at a later date. Well I've ranted enough. Not even this decision is enough to keep me from Spidey. Yet. So until Gwen comes back for good (wait better not give them any ideas) Make mine Marvel.

113 Peter NorbotLong live Peter and Mary Jane's marriage. We've seen single spidey, it's been done. New readers read Ultimate Spider-Man and then research using trade paperbacks on the 616 Spidey and get hooked. OMD is a shame and has now replaced the Clone Saga as the worst Spider-Man story ever! Brand New Day is right behind that to! Joe, I know you think Spidey is your character and living your old glory single days through him helps, but he's not YOUR character. Making Spidey single again is the LAZY way out!! Plenty of good stories can be done with these two married. FIX THIS! LONG LIVE THE SPIDER MARRIAGE BETWEEN PETER AND MARY JANE!!!
114 robertYou forced a change on fans that no one asked for. You should be ashamed for forcing your story down the throats of readers. We like MJ and if you can't write stories with her IN it. Then its hack.

117 Carl RonningWhen I read this post I immediately checked the wikipedia entries on Peter and MJ, certain that this was another case like a few years ago when Mary Jane and Peter got separated in the very issue that they were reunited after MJ had been presumed dead in a airline explosion. No such luck. I was incensed at the revelation that more than twenty years of the two's personal history has been unraveled via a deal with the demon Mephisto -- and just to save Aunt May, who's already had a very long run. I take this as an unhappy confirmation of the fact that Joe Quesada is abusing his power as an editor-in-chief at Marvel to marginalize one of my favorite characters, Mary Jane Watson, and in the process has tainted most of my fondest memories of comics-reading. Let me give you a little backstory. I started regularly reading Spidey in the late eighties, though I was tangentially aware of the character through Saturday morning cartoons a decade earlier or so. By that time, Peter and MJ were already married, so most of the time that I read the Spider-titles (I stopped buying in the late nineties because the continually climbing prices of comics and a shortage of cash but kept up on a synopsis of current storylines via the Internet), Peter had solid emotional support at home to help him endure the stress of being a hero. I was there for the death of Harry Osborn, the fake parents storyline and its aftermath when Peter went seriously Dark Knight, the baby storyline, and the overblown Clone Saga. The only part about the last item that I find redeemable was the "Time Bomb" two-parter where a post-hypnotic suggestion from the Jackal was forcing Peter to hunt his wife down and kill her. She ran while he battled his way through the New Warriors and his own clone, but in the end she made her stand at Aunt May's old house in Forest Hills, ready to die at her husband's hands. She didn't beg for her life; just urged Peter to believe in himself and their love. And it worked. Now, as I said, over twenty years of Spiderman's personal history has been unraveled and he's single again, with no apparent sign that he and MJ ever fell in love. He's lost all emotional support in his battle for good, and it's going to make him old and bitter before his time. And it's because of a deal with Mephisto, of all beings. It's as stupid as when Angel made the deal to become head of Wolfram and Hart's L.A. branch to save Connor. Heroes don't make deals with demons. It corrupts everything Spidey stands for. I sure hope the editors at Marvel get their heads out of their asses and write a solution soon, because of now they've killed any chance I'd buy their comics again in the foreseeable future. And I'm willing to bet more than a few people are canceling their subscriptions because of this.
118 RichardI am one of those who actually like to see "Continuity" in the material that I read. This was done so poorly and will undermine so much of what I "used" to enjoy about Marvel that I am once again speaking with my wallet as I did with Teen-Tony and Spiderclone. That is by no longer purchasing many of the Marvel comics that I currently buy. I have no ill will towards you personally, ahve met you and found you to be quite a likable person. I just can't condone spending anymore money on a product that I can no longer enjoy. Best wishes.
119 ScottI want the parker's marriage licence renewed. And I want Joe Q's resignation as head of Marvel.
120 AnonymousThe problem has never been the marriage, it's how some writers approach it.
121 TeagueOMD is the worst spider-man story ever. I have read spider-man comics for 14 years now, but I will not read another issue until they fix this. I also hope Quesada gets fired over this.
122 AnonymousNo marriage...this fan will not buy...ever. Not any Marvel work. You made us love this couple...then you pulled the rug out. Not my idea of a fun time. Bring it back.
123 Damien CarlisleTo the guys sitting on the fence concerning cancelling, wanting to see what happens... Look at it this way. If Brand New Day turns out good, get the TPBs. For now, I'd advice you that they have no intention of changing things unless they see a drop in sales. So cancel. I thought alot about this last night. Long and hard. I had a massive argument against the whole destruction of the marriage the way its been done. I can't remember half of what I thought. But basically, the way this story has been done, it's an insult. Plain and simple, it's an insult to the fans. It's insulting to our intelligence, and it's insulting to our loyalty. And not just our loyalty, but think about the sheer amount of time and money alot of us have infested into this character. Think about that. Imagine that in the 3rd part of the LOTR trilogy, some evil wizard came along and said "see that guy that died in part one? not dead anymore. In fact, he never died in the first place. as far as the characters memories are concerned, he's always been around". It would feel like a giant cop out, right? The reader would think "what on earth was the point in reading everything that came before, if as far as the characters are concerned thats not the way it happened?". You'd feel... ripped off. And now we're being told MJ and Pete were never married, when our books over the last 20 years tell us differently. Let's go back to the Baby May situation. Some people don't really care that much, but at that period of time, I was just getting into comics. The clone saga was the first thing I read, and when the kidnapped baby twist came along, I awaited with full attention to see how that would end. Unaware of agendas at the time. And eventually, more and more, I was like "so when the hell are they bringing Baby May back?". Years pass. And eventually I'm reading interviews and such that the guys in charge don't want the baby. More years pass, and in MK Spidey its simply explained that the baby was stillborn, and this seems to be the accepted explanation... But if you read the books at the time it happened... thats not what happened at all. The baby was switched. Baby May was kidnapped. So, rather than actually give guys like me a satisfying conclusion to that story, they wipe it over like it never happened. That was annoying enough to me as a reader. This thing with the marriage... thats the Baby May situation times a million. It's a MASSIVE slap in the face. And so, you have us the readers, many of us have infested years into this character. Some of us decades. All of us, massive amounts of money. The story that we're currently reading is broken. It wasn't broken when the characters were married... it became broken when the guys in charge decided to tell us that they were never married in the first place. To further drive that point in, think of it from the point of view of a brand new reader. In fact, you could take me at 15 reading the clone saga for the first time, but instead its the recent stuff I'm reading. Unaware of any agendas on the company's part. I see that Mephisto is "wiping" the marriage away from memory. As far as I'd be concerned, I'd see it as a story. Something that will eventually have a conclusion. Sooner or later, Peter would see through the charade and fix it. FIX IT. Because from a story perspective, the history has been broken and needs FIXED. But that isn't Joe Q's intention. OMD is the final say on the matter. Now and forever, the history is BROKEN.

125 AnonymousLook Dan Slott is amazing! Let him write a young married MJ and Peter, but honestly OMD was the worst, the worst Spider Story ever. I grew up with MJ and Peter married, why ruin the new fans spiderman.
126 Nicolas JonesYep, I joined the boycott until this mess is fixed. My money can better be spent elsewhere.
127 Trish WintersI'm a female reader, and personally I find the way this character is being treated downright offensive. I've only mindly been into comic books but liked the movies, and eventually got around to picking up Spider-man Loves Mary Jane. The main canon marriage of Peter and MJ was really inspiration, especially reading all those wonderful moments in the past books such as the wedding issue itself (where they said "FOREVER") and even the much-loved Kraven's Last Hunt (where it was Peter's love for MJ that pulled him through.) I read the death of Harry story and it was one of the best scenes ever. But, now, all of that has been erased. I'm letting you know I won't stand for it. I'm pulling my support of this book. Money speaks, and I'm hoping others do the same. I'm not adverse to change, but this entire new "universe" feels so fake and wrong, and such a cop out, that I cannot enjoy it, no matter how well it's written or illustrated. And, after what Peter did, I can no longer take his mantra of "great power and responsibility" seriously after the irresponsible, selfish actions he displayed. You made a horrible mistake, and I hope you rectify it soon.
128 MichaelIt's like something out of a bad soap opera. Spider-Man used to be my favorite superhero, I'm not so sure now. As for the marriage making the character lose his appeal, that's bullcrap, as it made him an even more complex character.

142 Justyn Cthe first comic i ever received as a 5 year old was spider-man and in that issue it was embedded in my belief that they were a couple they LOVED each other... and now this stunt Marvel pulled? its like a fricking slap in the face that everything i read as a 5 year old is a fricking lie

144 Charles HammockMr. Quesada, I have read comics for 30 years. I have never been so bothered by as story line as much as OMD. Please restore Peter and MJ's marriage and make the world right again. Best Regards, Charles Hamoock
145 John Breckenrridge
146 Josesph Lourenco JrWith Great Power Comes Great Responsibility. Making a deal with the devil slightly avoids that particular ideal, no? Maybe the people making editorial decisions regarding this character should make sure they understand this character. Undo this lazy gimmick please. For the record I've stopped buying ALL Marvel comics because of this storyline. That's 22 Marvel Comics a month that will sit on the racks.
147 Cindy EdgeMOST fans LIKED the marriage... but apparently JQ doesn't care about what most fans want. He has ruined Spider-Man for me... for my family... for most fans... AND for the kids who WILL NOT be reading about some 30-yr-old loser who still lives with his elderly aunt. I don't even know this guy. When Peter made a deal with the devil and dumped his wife he went from hero to zero.
