Is Marvel Breaking Up Spider-Man and Mary Jane… Again?!

Fans may be excited for the return of Peter Parker to the role of Spider-Man with the upcoming #1 issue relaunch of Amazing Spider-Man. But inside the beleaguered Marvel Universe, the reception appears to be a little bit different. Maybe the denizens of the Marvel Universe are just having trouble keeping track of all the Spider-people running around. Maybe they believe J. Jonah Jameson was right all along. Maybe they're just tired of having their universe shaken to its foundations leaving nothing the same again over and over again. That would be pretty annoying, you have to admit. And based on the recent "What Did Peter Do" teaser, it definitely looks like things have been shaken up…

Our best guess? Radioactive Spider-Sperm. It really packs a wallop, and it's probably been a while for ol' Spidey, stuck in that hospital bed for so long.

Whatever the case, it seems that everyone is mad at Spider-Man in the solicit for Amazing Spider-Man #1…
