But what I'm saying is that there wasn't a Peter Parker: Spider-Man prior to the relaunch. The title with that on it's cover was always officially just Spider-Man. Why isn't it just considered Peter Parker: Spider-Man vol. 1?

It got renamed to Peter Parker, officially and legally, with issue 75

From Wiki (which I can back up):

The series was retitled Peter Parker: Spider-Man with issue #75, but only on the covers (the series was still under its original Spider-Man title in the comic's legal indicia, printed on the title page, from #75-98; the comic book would not officially be titled Peter Parker: Spider-Man until the Vol. 2 series relaunch).

Then... I don't know.

Then... I don't know.

I suppose it's because the legal text in the PPSM says it's volume two and that when that whole dual-numbering thing was going on for restarted titles, they had the numbering continue from the first series, but that doesn't make it right.

I guess this had turned into a rant more than a question. Moving on...

Is the curent mini Spider-Man/Red Sonja in mainstream continuity?

Ok, what issue did spiderman find out "Norman Osborn" was alive again after his death in issue 122? Also, did they ever fight again or meet face to face? Yeah it stinks, I been out of comics that long.

What issue did spiderman actually tell Mary Jane he was spiderman?

Tanks hangman, just read issue 75 it was pretty good!

He never technically told her. Mary Jane revealed that she already knew he was Spider-Man at the end of Amazing #257.

(And to anticipate your follow-up question, this was the first time we as the readers learned this too. There was no earlier issue where we saw her find out. ;))

also I believe (and I dont think it was from issue 257 but it might have been) that the current explanation is that MJ somehow saw Peter change into Spider-Man the original night from Amazing Fantasy #15 that he went after Uncle Ben's killer. I think if this is still continuity it is a great sort of cosmic bond that is never mentioned enough between Peter and MJ; basically that she was present on the first night that Spider-Man was actually "born". Maybe the Loki retcon or whatever is planned in OMD will go all the way back to Amazing Fantasy #15.

Yup! I think MJ may have told Peter the story in #258 (I don't quite remember), but we saw it happen years later in the "Parallel Lives" graphic novel.

Byrne also touched on it in Chapter One, not that that has much relevance these days.

Busiek touched on it in his far superior Untold Tales of Spider-Man series.

When did "Parallel Lives" come out? I don't recall it, and can't find it.
