Spider-Men - more info about the crossover

[sherkahn]

USAtoday.com has further update as to who is the Big Bad that is bringing the Spider-men from two very different universes together.

"Mysterio, the nefarious magic man who has been a Spider-Man villain since the hero's earliest days, is the guy who finds a rift between the regular Marvel Universe and the alternate-reality Ultimate Universe, a plot device that is central to the upcoming Spider-Men."

"Peter arrives in a world where its Peter Parker died in the line of duty being Spider-Man, inspiring Miles to become a hero, and Peter will encounter all the people who were important to the alternate version of him, such as Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane Watson.
"

If you read further into the story, it sounds like the writers really put some heart into this, a true "miles stone" (pun intended) for the heroes who wear the webs.

I mean her character and personality are the same as before, with the only difference being the status quo. And while Peter and Mary-Jane aren't married or even lovers, they are still close friends and very dear to one another, which a) is infinity better then writing her out of Spider-Man all together, and b) a big step in the direction of making them a couple again, which I have little doubt will happen in the future, for the same reasons Joe Q. was so insistent that he had to break them up.

The only thing I don't see coming back is Aunt May finding about Spidey's secret identity, if only because that story has already been told three times now, and I can't think of a way to re-tell that story without it coming off as a rehash of what has been done before.
