Wanna read an all-new, action-packed Spider-Man story from the team who brought you Gravity? Pick up Marvel Adventures Spider-Man #9 this week. Not a retelling, and not a twenty-something married guy! Teenage Spidey versus Doctor Doom with the lives of the Fantastic Four (and more) hanging in the balance!

Preview the first four pages here. (http://milehighcomics.com/firstlook/110205/mas9one.html)

There's old-school Marvel flavor in every delicious bite!

But when are we going to get all new Gravity stories from the team that brought us Marvel Adventures Spider-Man #9?

Or do we have to see how well the trade does?

I want my Spidey stories to be about that twenty-something married guy, and in-continuity.
Well, then you've got a few books to choose from. Enjoy!

Gah! I've been avoiding these Marvel Adventures lines (even though I think they're a good idea) but you may have me here..."Doom With A View"..hee hee...can't believe that hasn't been used before.

Oh, and here's hoping for more Gravity too!

Marvel age books seem strange to me. Who are they aimed for? Kids?

If not, why not just make them fully in continuity?

Like the poster above said, I don't think Spidey not being married is a good selling point for anyone, if anything it's the opposite.

Usually I like Sean McKeever's writings and I'd be willing to give his Spidey a try if he wrote one of the core Spider-Man books. Unless, he is like Mark Waid and hates the Spidey marriage. :mad:

Marvel Adventures comics are made to be easily-accessible, single-issue, action-centric stories for all ages. All ages does not mean "for kids". It means "for all ages".

The reason why it's not fully in-continuity is because Marvel wants timeless, iconic versions of the properties. For Spider-Man, this means high school aged and working for the Bugle.

Now here's the cool part about the Adventures series: we're using Lee/Ditko continuity. In other words, we're only using villains who were around at that time, and I've crafted the stories so that, outside of the modern references, they could very easily fit into normal continuity. Call it Untold Tales Light, if you want.

In all honesty, I can't say I'm a "fan" of married Spidey, if only because my favorite Spidey era was when he was in his early twenties in Chelsea, living the bachelor life. However, that doesn't mean that there aren't loads of wonderful stories that can come out of Peter's current age and marital status.

I don´t know why, I love Mary Jane and the stuff she brings to the Spider-man part of the MU. IMO she completes Peter and is his one true love.

Yeah. I think writers who don't like it should simply not write Spider-Man. Luckily Mr Waid took the hint and stepped off FNSM.

Right now we're blessed with two talented writers who like the marriage and write it extremely well, PAD and JMS.

The problem is that, unless you have a sure-fire dream-girl to pull out of your metaphorical butt, there's no way to avoid having to use MJ, even in a divorce/bereavement story, and the romance angle always leads back to them, so it becomes a creative boxstep ,"sidebacksideforward".
