The further dismissal of the rest of Gerry Conway's run and the subsequent anniversary issue, which is an essential part of the larger story of his tenure on the book, again furthers the notion of just wanting to cherry pick the details that are convenient for a narrative.
I know people are worried about MJ in the new Zeb Wells written title, but these covers kind of show she might not be going anywhere...
I find it interesting that MJ is getting top billing on this comic.
That and Marvel seemed to be doing a lot to push the title...
Again, look at the situation with Brand New Day.
They finally get what they want, but Peter isn't "De-Aged."
Rather, the *first* thing that is done is MJ is completely thrown out the door, while the *next* love interest in pushed into his arms.

I do find it funny that after regressing their personalities, and tried such absurd storylines like making them into supervillains or Iron Man's sidekick, Marvel had way more success with Felicia and MJ by restoring their pre-BND personalities and just featuring them more.
Bit of a random hot take, but I think we absolutely need to start regarding the whole "MJ knowing Spidey's identity the whole time made a lie of all the stories that came before" as the type of entitled "You ruined my childhood" whining that it is.
How do you have Joe Madureira working for you at the exact time these games are coming out and *NOT* put him on a book like that?
It's such a no brainer.
No one is harder on the Slott run than I am, but the one thing I will admit is that Mary Jane's character got to do some really cool stuff on occasion, like help save the day in Spider-Island or swing into action in the Iron Spider suit, before being sidelined and forgotten.
@raoulfgonzo Slott's first story for Spider-Man literally opened with Peter kissing a woman, making light of how they will never get married, and the run constantly went out of it's way to "Remind" readers Peter wasn't with MJ.
