If those rumors are true about "One More Day" getting rid of Mary Jane, I wont have to worry about buying any Spidey books....
What rumor?

Some highlights from Joe Q:
http://www.newsarama.com/heroes_phil...nemoreday.html
The same fan also asked about Quesada's take on the Peter/MJ marriage, which Quesada repeating his feelings that a married Spider-Man takes away a big part of the soap opera, and the problems inherent with having them divorced or Spider-Man becoming a widower. He also said undoing it with a "continuity punch" is a problem
"In my perfect world, I'd love to bring the soap opera back. And that's what Ultimate Spider-Man does, too. You know that Peter and MJ are destined to be with each other, but here comes Kitty Pryde."
Supporting cast after One More Day? Quesada: "Part of Brand New Day will be building a supporting cast around Peter," adding that it'll be some old and a lot of new.
So good chance I wont be reading this new Spider-Man anyway...

I was at my LCS yesterday for my weekly books and they had no idea about this new idea for Amazing Spiderman..Doesn't Marvel communicate with comic shops about big changes like this? If I was in charge and I was going to do something that would affect small shops sales I would definitely let them know or at least ask for their input...That's why the comic business is on life support...

I'm not defending their decision to do this, I'm just saying the way they made the announcement was not unreasonable, and to my knowledge they're not changing any past Previews solicitations, so this change is a little ways away. Could be wrong, though.
I really don't see the part in the Joe Q. interview where he even hints he'll do something to MJ. What am I missing here?
If they're going to say Spidey's marriage is a problem with people relating to him like they did in his early days, I'd say a bigger problem is the fact that he's an adult now and no longer a kid... which was the point, I thought, of the whole Ultimate Spiderman book.

Just the first of many lies, though.

Any editor could have come in and noticed all the fans who left after the clone saga. I had high hopes for Joe Q, but lately....I don't know. Hes in a long line of editors who think fans are stupid, or don't get it, when they disagree with direction.
