Tom King and Jim Lee put Mary Jane Watson and Peter Parker back together again in today’s Superman/Spider-Man? Thanks Lois! (Spoilers)
Article Summary
Tom King and Jim Lee reunite Mary Jane Watson and Peter Parker in Superman/Spider-Man #1
Lois Lane and Mary Jane share a spotlight, highlighting their roles alongside Superman and Spider-Man
The crossover exists outside standard Marvel or DC continuity, allowing unique character dynamics
So Spider-Man and Superman have certain things in common. The red and blue. The dead parents. The adoptive parents. And they both married… although Spider-Man has forgotten that now. In today’s Superman/Spider-Man, couryesy of Tom King and Jim Lee, they get a chance to compare notes, even as Peter and Clark are busy dealing with a Sentinel.
From multi-dimensional variants of themselves, to having to be the good woman, standing behind the super man. Even though of course, Lois Lane has just been Superwoman and Mary Jane Watson has been Jackpot and is Venom. And yeah, if you are going to complain about the whole Jackpot thing, better pick a different superhero name…
But because Superman/Spider-Man is not set in Marvel or DC Comics continuity, they can reflect whatever aspects of each other worlds they wish. So we have a Lois and Clark, and Mary Jane and Peter. Knowing all about the other… and if you needed to confirm it?
There you go then. With the Ultimate Universe ending, and all the heartbreak that may be bringing, this might be all you have to go on…
DC MARVEL SUPERMAN SPIDER-MAN #1 by, well, everyone, is published by DC Comics today.
