Spider-man is single again. In comic book number 545, that will be released this week, the bond between hero Peter Parker and his wife Mary Jane will be ended. This is after 21 years of being happily married, as told by the news station ABC.
Mephisto and aunt May
The diabolic character Mephisto asks the duo to let go all of their memories concerning their marriage. This was in order to save the life of aunt May.
Marvel Comics and their fans
"The fans are totally surprised," according to a manager from comic book store Ultimate Comics. "The authors can't pretend as if the last 21 years didn't exist." But publisher Marvel Comics still wants to publish this comic book. "We immediately regretted the marriage from the start," according to Joe Quesada, one of the writers. "A married hero is less interesting."
Tried to end marriage before
The writers already tried before to make an end to the marriage. This was when it became clear that Mary Jane didn't marry with Peter Parker, but with his clone. It isn't clear if the new storyline will be used in the upcoming Spider-man movies.
