It was then that Marvel decided that the continuity for the monthly comics had to match the daily strip. So MJ, who hadn't appeared for a few years in Amazing Spider-Man, was brought back and a romance was hurriedly assembled.<br>As for Sins Pasts... well, that one is Joe Quesada's fault depending on who you ask. <br>Reportedly, JMS' original idea for Sins Past involved Peter finding out that Gwen had traveled to Europe to have his child in secret (a common occurence for young women of means back then) and that she died before she could tell Peter the news.<br>It was Joey Q who suggested it would be better for Gwen to have been knocked up by Norman Osborn, have MJ be in on the secret and for there to be twin accelerated growth goblin babies raised by Norman in secret.starmanmatthttp://newtestblog78.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533456818745661203.post-76908252018984159712007-08-16T02:08:24.000-05:002007-08-16T02:08:24.000-05:00They should get rid of Peter Parker and focus on M...They should get rid of Peter Parker and focus on MJ XD<br>Hey, Joe should be happy, Peter's not married nemore! And honestly if you had to pick somebody who was the emotional baggage in that relationship it's Peter NOT MJ.

Well, Sins Past is why I don't hang out in forums. Talking about it doesn't exactly bring out the best in me. I rank it right up there with the worst stories I've ever read. Had it come out unaltered by editorial hands (assuming that was the case)... I dunno. It might have worked, it might have ticked me off just as bad.

I think it's very telling that in the House of M Spider-Man special Mark Waid wrote (one of the few things to come out of that series) Mary Jane was the most popular actress in the world.
