Comic fans may know that Peter Parker never openly revealed his identity to Mary Jane. She did, however, piece it together over a period of time. That being said, she did find out for sure when a solid piece of evidence came right through the window. I mean that in a literal sense, not metaphorically. … Read more
For those who don’t know, there was a time when Dr Octavious stole Spider-Man’s body and replaced Peter Parker’s mind with his own. Doing so gave him a new perspective on ethics, but also introduced him to some titillating opportunities. For example, having the chance to have sex with Spider-Man’s wife. So this begs the … Read more
It shouldn’t surprise you that Spider-Man, throughout the many years, has dated many women with varying personalities. Betty Brant and Felicia Hardy are two lesser-known girlfriends of Spider-Man. (Although Betty Brant makes cameos in the movies that Sam Raimi directed.) However, there are two women that you probably already know about, due to their common … Read more

Do you want to know what I love more than great comic stories? Terrible comic stories. And the Spider-Man: One More Day story arc was one hell of a pile of poop. There is no need to take my word for it. The 2007 story (Affiliate Link) that ended in Amazing Spider-Man 545 was so … Read more
What if I told you that Spider-Man reveals his identity to Mary Jane, Gwen Stacy, and Harry Osborn all at the same time? No, it wasn’t a dream sequence, or some alternate universe.
