wankgate | 163: stealing 40 cakes from the walmart bakery does not warrant life in prison

I stopped reading Spider-man when they fucked over MJ and Peter's marriage. And I'd been buying all of the different series each month up until then. I was waffling on sticking around anyway by that point but when that trainwreck happened I set it all down and walked away with relief. Peter's marriage and dealing with adult life was what had interested me in the first place and not every writer knew how to deal with MJ but at least she wasn't an accessory. She had her own plotlines and life and dealing with things too and I really enjoyed the times she got pulled into the 'hero' side of Peter's life and the way she handled herself. Take a baseball bat to the Chameleon? Check. Escape Kaine on her own? Check. Face down thugs on the subway because Peter's sleeping and don't you dare do something that's going to wake him up? checkmate. I thought killing Aunt May had been ballsy (the whole 'it was an actress' was bullshit) and a great way for the comic to develop but nope. Reset everything and in the most stupid of ways.

MJ is in Iron Man's book now, and I think you might appreciate Bendis' reasoning:

I've held off on deciding how I feel about Bendis but I like him a little bit more right now. Thanks, nonnie. He's not wrong.
