One More Day Poll
I won't give any spoilers out today, but I am interested in seeing what people would choose, as well as reading fan comments once people read it.
The "Mary Jane as an international supermodel" thing was dumb, but she hasn't been one for years. So it's really an inaccurate and outdated reason for not wanting her married to "everyman" Peter Parker.
It's quite simple. If Peter doesn't choose to stay with MJ, I'm not reading Spiderman again until they get back together.
Really, if writers and editors are bored producing the story they have, move to a different one! Messing about with the fundamentals of a character's situation is as lazy as writing dialogue that's out of character, and I would argue that in some sense they are the same thing.

I said choice C) except I only really mean it towards Joey Q. - the howard the duck mini is still running! waaugh!
To add to iscariot - MJ's a struggling off-broadway actress currently. Just so people have some perspective.
Although with the end of One More Day, I don't have much of a clue about what's going on with MJ. =(
On the Infinite Wars, we'll be initiating Spider-Boycott: 2008 "if" the MJ marriage is stripped.
The only thing worse than bad decisions, are bad decisions that disrupt, and completely throwaway the established fiction.
Disappointing.
