From "Amazing Spider-Man" volume 2 (darn reboot) issue 14. Can we all agree to pretend this never happened and I never posted it?
From "Spectacular Spider-Man" issue 119. This moment has always stayed with me. Writers are always trying to make the Spider-Man books fun, and Peter David always knew how to pull it off.
Amazing Spider-Man issue 25. Let’s forget about the fact that if Liz and Betty shaved their heads we wouldn’t be able to tell them apart. First Mary Jane from the neck down. Too bad that flower […]
Paul Jenkins did a story after Aunt May found out Spider-Man’s identity which dealt with the ramifications of this moment.
Galenwolf, apparently Strazinski was FURIOUS at this cover since this scene did not take place anywhere inside the comic.
Oh wait, was this a Sins Past or Sins Remembered cover? Can’t even remember who wrote the second one.
Wow Pete, first Mattie, and then Gwen’s daughter Sarah…. http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/1/15776/655457-sarahstacy_super.jpg
well, that was weird idea. In retrospect, perhaps the ‘changer of worlds’ idea wasn’t so bad after all, though there was no reason to renumber the book. They build these unreasonable expectations and that was one of the problems, it’s the same problem now… times a million.
Byrne is responsible for this picture/story – it was the first issue of the reboot that he himself wrote. But Bendis is the one that took Maddie’s character (after her Spider-Woman series got canceled) and turned her into a hooker.
To Berserkfury819,
because apparently this post has had more responses than any other Spidey Memories post. Go figure.
… You honestly expect me to believe that Bendis is solely responsible for this? And Byrne didn’t have a hand in it?
“Oh, Peter, thank God the love of your life is dead. Now you can be happy!”
Wow I hated her from the get go. And this issue was actually the first time I wanted to throw a comic book out the window.
ah…the memories
Why are we posting bad spider memories?
Frank unintentionally did Karen a creative favour. Nobody gave a rat’s arse about her before hand
Writers rule #156 If you have to write a story about a character you hate, turn them into a Hooker. For examples research Brian Bendis, Frank MIller…
Ah Bendis…back when you were getting into fans good books by giving bad status quoes their just desserts…then two years later you wreck The Avengers and X-Men in one fell swoop.
Sigh.
nothing to turn a guy on like reminding him his wife just died!
Okay….awkward. And actually Bendis made her into both a hooker and a junkie in ALIAS. She then appeared again in another series. Can’t remember the title. It also involved other would-be teen heroes that get tother for an AA-like meeting to make sure each other wasn’t getting back into the heroes game. Retarded if you ask me.
Wow, her saying Mj dying as mean’t to be was so insenstive and cruel. I glad I never liked her. didn’t bendis turn her to a hooker?
I think you’ll find Maddy was 14 during that story. This issue was the nadir of the reboot. BND hasn’t come close to being as bad as this.
Great Power and Responsibility, Great Power and Responsibility, Great Power and Responsibility, Great Power and Responsibility…..
with the powers that they have….the positions they could create…..(of course, she is, like, 16 or something…)…hmmmmmmmmm…
