yendi*gasp* Could Mary Jane and Peter Parker be heading towards splitsville?
For, you know, the thousandth time?
The thing is, in a world in which death means nothing, divorce, infidelity, new sidekicks, new teams, drug addictions, economic windfalls/disasters, random character changes (hey, '90s Sue Storm, is that a cut-out number 4 on your chest?), Durlan/Skrull dopplegangers posing as the wives of heroes, and other *gasp* moments mean even less. In today's comic book world, every significant change is a dream, a hoax, and probably an imaginary story. And the hype only underscores the actual lack of meaning.
