The Amazing Spider-Man by David Michelinie

This is, after all, a major step in Spider-Man's life, and it should have been treated as a much more significant moment than how it actually transpired. Of course, he does go through with it (otherwise the title of this graphic novel would have been something else entirely), but I think this psychological torment could have been expanded upon in much greater depth. Peter goes through a dream sequence where he sees those who have died under his watch as Spider-Man, and he begins to worry that he is endangering MJ the same way if he goes through with the wedding. The writers attempted to present an inner conflict within Peter regarding the hardships he'd be imposing on MJ upon marrying her – thrusting her into a dangerous life alongside Spider-Man was a fearful thought to the web-head, and it nearly forced him to call off the wedding entirely. Most people had become accustomed to a single or still-dating Spider-Man, so to have him marry someone was a big change for his comic books and would affect the dynamics of his character forever after.Īlthough I acknowledge the significance of The Wedding, I only felt that it was okay overall solid, but not groundbreaking in its execution or writing.

The wedding between Mary Jane Watson and Peter Parker was a monumental moment in comic books at the time.
