The Secrets And Lies Of Amazing Spider-Man #25 (Spoilers)

Today sees the publication of Amazing Spider-Man #25, an anniversary title that, with #26, will form a fiftieth anniversary of the death of Gwen Stacy.

Today sees the publication of Amazing Spider-Man #25, an anniversary title that, with Amazing Spider-Man #26, will form a fiftieth anniversary of the death of Gwen Stacy. Which Marvel Comics has been teasing will lead to the death of Mary Jane Watson, though Bleeding Cool does have one other theory.  Since the Amazing Spider-Man relaunch just over a year ago, there have been secrets and lies being told in the Spider-Man world. We knew that Spider-Man had done something very bad.

The line should have been What Did Peter Do Next. Now we know it was going up against Captain America, Fantastic Four and more, stealing from them, and not working with them. And getting in physical contact with them as well. And keeping that going even after he saved Mary Jane Watson. And rescued her from the magical dimension she had been trapped in, even as time raced faster for her than it did for Peter.

And so, there was the split from Mary Jane Watson, now living with another man, Paul, and their two children. It had just been too long.

Now we know that they Mary Jane and Paul spent four years apart from Peter Parker, and found each other – as well as two children in the same dimension who they raised as their own.

But as we see, there are still lies and secrets being held from us. Something Paul should have told Mary Jane…

We may have to wait for Amazing Spider-Man #26 for that one. But for now, Mary Jane Watson has moved on, and Peter Parker is having to deal with this.

There is still the possibility that some of this separation is play-acting a symbology across the streets of Manhattan because of a magical threat made to Mary Jane. But now it is all coming to fruition. We have seen the past. Amazing Spider-Man #26 will be about the present. And very possibly the future, someone will die… and it is then we will learn just who the Fallen Friend is too…
