I'm not shy about my feelings that I am not a fan of the current Spider-Man comic. "Mean-spirited" is a word I've used. "Miserable" is how it makes me feel. But largely that stems from my frustrations at knowing this character and his stories should reflect the BEST of us. 1/3

I crack up whenever I hear that the Spider-Man marriage somehow made the characters "too happy" and problem-free. Like, one month after agreeing to marry him, readers were seeing them go through one of the darkest, most traumatic stories in the book's history. And it was GREAT.

I will take every opportunity to remind people the man MJ is with was culpable for genociding billions of men, women, and children, and that keeps being excused as a mistake we shouldn’t hold against him. What a tone-deaf, ignorant storyline this has been.

Life is too hard and ugly and mean to spend so much time in darkness, misery, sorrow, and loss. We face challenges, yes, but we can do more than just endure them and cope. We build bonds, nurture love, and triumph over evil with nobility and strength. 2/3

"Spider-Man" has always been a story about hope, about love, about endurance and growth. People in charge may lose sight of that from time to time but the people who love what he stands for will never forgot. It will be right some day. Until then practice kindness and love. 3/3

A few months ago, I heard certain individuals at Marvel still claiming that an adult, mature, married Spider-Man was “a mistake” and that fans were impossible to please. If THIS is a “mistake” then it sounds like they need to make more of them. #UltimateSpiderMan

One of my small grievances with Marvel's "Jackpot" is that Mary Jane's costume was just given to her by Felicia. Mary Jane's established history with fashion and costume design was an easy lay-up for her to design her OWN costume and maintain more agency in building herself up.

I remember a panel where one of the creatives said "who wants to see Peter changing diapers and paying his taxes?" I have comics of Peter changing diapers and paying taxes, and they're great because they humanize him more than anything that's happened in ASM in ages.
