The best way for marvel to except Spider-Man as a family man like in Renew Your Vows, Spider-girl, or Life Story is to tell this side of his life in movie format. That is why I am excited for Spider-Man Across the Spider Verse, where Peter B Parker will have a daughter. If critical/audience responds to this is highly positive, then the comic books might be persuaded to tell more of the Spider-Dad story.

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

I remember following this series, and in the back of my mind believing that if I pre-ordered it enough and it somehow sold numbers comparable or even outsold the main title, the main universe would have to take notice as a result. It was a wonderful few months. Then the cracks started showing when the main writer left. And then the artist only did covers. And the artist they left was...not very good. And then they Jon Kent Superboy'd it and did a time jump for no reason. My tinfoil hat says Marvel execs purposefully sabotaged it to tank the book, but the reality is that it probably didn't sell as well as I or they were hoping for, so less effort was put in.

[@AustynSN]

At least they time-jumped the entire story instead of having one character "get lost in another reality" to suddenly explain why they were 10 years older or had two kids or other nonsense.

[@jeppyjep]

Atleast the time jump is still good. The family dynamic is pretty much the same under new writer, Jody Houser. The characters also stay the same, except for Annie a lil bit. She's still energetic and bubbly like she used to be but has a lil bit of teenage "embarassed with her dad" type thing.

[@dibyaudhdas1978]

@@AustynSN what's funny that logically I'm not exactly mad at MJ for that. many comics, including the Invincible, pulled that shit up. Heck even in Invincible Eve waited for 5 years and then started dating that blue guy before Mark showed up whereas for MJ the time has passed 17 years. What I hate is why they needed to do this and if so how badly they pulled the outcome. Mark had a mature response even tho he kinda felt weird . In his own lines " I can be both understandable and frustrated at the same time. I'm not blaming you for anything" and Eve and Mark had a kid as an attachment to stick together. MJ and Peter had none and the way Peter broke down , started begging to see her and other bs was just pathetic to see. It's not like there are what ifs and alternate version of Peter where he left Mj ( notably Assassin Spider) but the way they wrote the current 616 version is just sad. It's more salt in the wound when literally in december 2023 the Ultimate universe got a reboot and we see a 30 yr old Peter with MJ and his kids, Uncle Ben and JJ just chilling and giving Peter advices and everything going smoothly in that world .

[@brainbuster1234]

Gerry Conway really hit it out of the park with this series and even Jody Houser once she took over after the timeskip. It's such a perfect growth of Peter and Mary Jane's characters and I love Annie May even more than I like Mayday just because we get to see her grow up as a child and not just as a teenager right from the get-go.

[@LewisFilmsProductions]

I agree

[@jeppyjep]

I also prefer Annie over Mayday because Annie follows Peter's side more, while Mayday has MJ traits. Annie struggled to make friends in high school but managed to make some friends with the drama club she joined and Normie Osborn. She's quite introverted and not as confident or sassy as Mayday. Mayday is confident, sexy and stylish. She has a lot of friends and love interests, she's popular in school and wears stylish clothes to school, as opposed to Annie wearing normal tshirt and jeans. I really love Mayday, but i prefer Annie since she reminds me of Peter.

I wasn't introduced as a kid to Spider-Man in the comic books when he was a single bachelor. That's great, but I fell in love with Spider-Man comics when he was married. I love Spider-family stuff too, but i don't even need them to have a kid yet. Keep that in an alternate universe if need be, but there shouldn't be anything boring or unrelatable about everyman Peter Parker being in a happy and reasonably healthy marriage with a good (and gorgeous) woman who loves, understands, and accepts him. Imo, both J. Michael Straczynski (until editorial forced him to do some stories in the end I think we all regret) and David Michelinie especially prove that you can tell interesting, exciting, and iconic stories even though he isn't a single bachelor. Everyone loves teenage Spider-Man, but proper adult Spuder-Man isn't any "less relatable" because of his motto that makes him who he is, "with great power, there must also become great responsibility." Spider-Man as a growing adult making his way in life, not getting overcome by life's challenges, but struggling and coming out witg victories in the win column along with the defeats is relatable because Spider-Man is about the weird and awkward spider with surprising potential becoming the man. Spider-Man represents learning from your mistakes through trial and error, growing as a person into a great hero and an even better human being, taking on responsibilities for the good of ourselves and others, and, to quote an old maester of the Wall, to "kill the boy, so that the man may be born." We don't need Petwr to be a middle aged man with back problems (although Spider-verse's Peter B. Parker is one of the best in modern memory). He's a young man who's comfortably in adulthood somewhere between 25 and 30, when most people start to figure out a few things, not have everything worked out by any means (men don't really establish themselves and reach their peak potential until around 35-45), but it is a time when they begin to come into their own and begin to establish and build toward the kind of person they wanna be and the goals they want to accomplish. That's what Peter Parker needs.

[@sonicsaiyan07]

I'm always glad to see RYV get talked about. It was the first comic series I collected. Actually went out of my way to do so as well (so many spent lunch breaks). Something you may not know is that this is actually a second run. The original RYV Story was a mini-series part of the Secret Wars event. That story's fine (but doesn't compare to the run) and provides some context on a point or two that the run may not fully explain, such as who Regent was. One thing you didn't really talk about though was Annie/Spiderling herself. As far as kid characters go, I always thought she was pretty solid. She wants to help and often does, but she's not SO competent that it doesn't feel like the writers are trying to force you to like her. She has her screwups but they feel like legit mistakes a kid would make, especially with her amped up Spider-Sense. (Side note, and I don't know if you read DC at all, but Annie feels like she'd fit right in as a guest in a Super Sons book)

Spider-Girl has Mayday learns how to be a hero, her being in love and so on. Peter and MJ didnt really appear that much in it. In Renew Your Vows, we see MJ struggling with her fashion business but still manages to handle it and we see Peter learn how to be a dad and finds new job as a teacher. I love Renew Your Vows more because it emphasized the family part as opposed to just focus on Annie. Overall, both are different but great comic books.

The thing is most people grew up with/were exposed to Spidey as whether in the matieral or media either as a young adult in college and/or a young adult married to MJ dealing everyday life and trials. So the whole sentiment from Quesada, certain fans, and any writer and editors of keeping the character in a position as to where future generations can relate to him is moronic af and holds him back tremendously. It also restricts the character in that he can't have a character trait or arc where it goes outside the range of "relatability" and that's another thing, Spider-Man is a character, victim of people projecting self-inserts onto him and viewing him as a blank slate and a big part of that is because of his youth and his mainstream surface level qualities.

Venom was explicitly determined to kill Peter's family and recounted how he'd keep trying. He wound up burning to death when Peter dropped a burning building on him. He last words were screaming in denial, "Spider-Man doesn't kill!" like this was somehow unfair. Peter doesn't become evil nor does he start killing every purse snatcher.

I AM A HUGE FAN OF RENEW YOUR VOWS. Honestly my one gripe with it when it went from being a miniseries offshoot of Secret Wars was that the book didn't change it's name to "The Amazing Spider-Family". I adore the story told in the miniseries and the first twelve issues. Sadly however Marvel just had to come along a shite all over it. First they fired the monthly book's original writer Gerry Conway, a veteran of the character who clearly shared our views that Spider-Man must progress to avoid becoming stagnant. He also wrote the highly recommended one shot graphic novel "AMS: Parallel Lives" which I consider to be the definitive story of Peter and Mary Jane's relationship. Conway tried to leave the book in the hands of the artist Ryan Stegman but Marvel kicked him off the title and essentially rebooted the title on #13 with writer Jody Houser and artist Nick Roche. This version destroyed the book in my opinion by jumping 8 years into the future and essentially retreading the territory covered by the Defalco and Frenz' SPIDER-GIRL comics. Under Houser and Roche the book limped along until quietly dying with #23. It was plain as day that Marvel Editorial wanted to kill the book but it was a success under Conway and Stegman, so they replaced them and retooled the book till it was failure they could cancel. Bastards.

[@jeppyjep]

Jody Houser did a great job in Renew Your Vows tho. Yes, i also wanted to see more of kid Annie, but teenage Annie is pretty good. She still somewhat energetic and bubbly, but also sometimes "embarassed" with her dad since she entered that teenage phase. Im glad that Jody didnt turn Annie into a stereotypical edgy and mean “You dont understand me” kind of teenager. The family dynamic is kept the same as when Gerry wrote it. The only gripe i have with it is the art. Ryan Stegman's art is freaking amazing and it feels like a downgrade when other artists draw for RYV. The latter art isnt that bad, but i wish we got better artists for it.

In the main universe, Mary Jane really doesn't have a reason to become the superheroine Jackpot. The excuse is that she lost her so-called adopted kids and needs to be a heroine to cope. Yeah, that's not very good therapy and her slot-machine luck powers are pretty lame. The main problem with that is that Mary Jane is vulnerable to the law of averages. There's a very good chance she'll either get a weak power or a power that is completely ill-suited to the situation. Mary Jane as Spinneret is far more believable. She wants to help out her husband and protect her daughter. She understands the danger and is willing to take risks. She understands the responsibility that comes with the power. And eventually, Peter will figure out a way for her to be Spinneret without draining his own powers.

This might sound controversial to some people but I prefer this over Spider-Man Life Story. Since this series is has great writing, entertaining characters, fun stories and a nice charming sense of humour. Now while I did enjoy Life Story it just didn't reach the same charm. But it's still good

[@jonmorris293]

After reading current ASM, it's apparent that Nick Lowe can't run the title properly anymore. I miss happy family Spider-Man bcuz it was fun

[@qwefg3]

A great comic that also sadly suffered from a major issue... Being better than the main line comics and out selling it. That was why they canceled the series and had him hook up with MJ... And why they also broke him up again. They hooked him up because the spin off was more popular and needed a reason to promote the main line comic and then dumped the idea when they found it easier taunting a possible relationship rather than giving one.

[@mayowaakinola5140]

This series is basically the Spider-Man version of “SPY X Family”. Don’t at me.

[@BrooklynAvenue]

Don't forget that the marriage was actually forced into the storyline by Stan Lee's decision to marry Peter and MJ in the newspaper strip (which is now defunct.) There was literally a reference to Peter having sex with the Black Cat ONE ISSUE BEFORE the proposal. Granted, it was in spectacular, but still,it shows how out of the blue the marriage was at the time. Prior to then, while Peter and MJ were talking, there was no real sign that they would marry. In fact, I still remember a panel in 291 where Peter talks about being 'so damned happy' before deciding to propose... this was absolutely not the case in the books prior to then, it was so forced in that it still sticks out to me decades later.

[@donaldwright8567]

I though this comic was great. I just always lamented the timeskip where they aged up Spiderling to being a teenager. I was far more invested in the "Jonny Quest" style family adventer tone they had going in the earlier issues and we could of gotten a lot more mileage out of it.

[@anthonygarcia8749]

They could have Peter raising her as a child for like 10 years and then start aging her up towards her teen years similar to Valeria from the FF

[@donaldwright8567]

Exactly! And in the meantime, if they wanted a more teenage daughter-esqe focused Spider-Man series, they could of brought back Mayday.

[@anthonygarcia8749]

@@donaldwright8567 I think Mayday should just stay as an alternate reality mc2 thing. While Annie fits perfectly into the main continuity had civil war (been written by someone better and properly lol), back in black, and omd not happened, that's how it would've played out and raising her from a toddler and into a kid for like 10 years, take your time with it, no need to rush and let's enjoy that as well as let Peter enjoy that lol and then transition into a teen. It strengthens the bond and expierence between Peter with his daughter and he can mentor her as she gets older. I'd get rid of MJ having powers because it's not necessary and can do without it lol, I don't mind it within ryv and it adds a different flavor and new dynamic for what it is within the book, but you can say the powers was only a temporary measure, something finite. Because then it just gets silly with MJ being another spider-person like the rest of them smh. And her having no powers is what grounds Peter as a hero, just as Lois is with Clark, and what grounds the family, and offers a different perspective and insight.

[@jeppyjep]

@@anthonygarcia8749 To be fair, MJ as Spinneret is the reason why Annie can join them as Spiderling. Peter was strongly against it at first but MJ managed to talk to him and let them help him in combat as family. If MJ wasnt Spinneret, i doubt Peter would bring Annie in battle. He would just told Annie to go home and hang out with her mom or something. Her being Spinneret also adds to the story when Xavier approached Annie to join his school. She actually has a say in that decision because she's also a superhero now. Her bonding with the Venom symbiote arc was also pretty good. Her not wanting to be a burden to Peter but still want to help him in battle, thus bonding with the symbiote and manages to actually control it strengthen her relationship with Peter.

I never really cared for renew your vows but it's cool that you like it. Obviously I still prefer it to the BS that we're getting in ASM rn

[@ahmadkhalaf8952]

oh btw Normie Osborn exists in the 616 universe

[@TK3477]

I think RYV was what the main book could have had. I read through the whole series and continuing with Spidergeddon which I missed the first time around and I am hooked on that version of the Parkers. They aren't perfect but they have grown and it's nice to see a more relatable Peter again. I can't stand the wells run and think it has so many plot holes that Rhino could charge through and do no damage to the story.

Normie Harry's son isn't originally from these comics he's in 616 and even was in the MC2 universe. But this version is definitely my favorite I like how he's handled. I loved the Renew your vows series especially since I'm a fan of next gen characters like Annie or Jon Kent Superboy. Wish this Seires ran longer be cool to see more differences in the universes like does Mile exist cause Iron Man has his modern (at the time) armor so newer stuff from 616 did exist there

[@jeremiahholes1246]

Can we get a guide on modern Spider-Man comics? There are so many spin offs and mini series and most the KZbin guides focus on amazing Spider-Man.

[@litterboxstudios]

Adult Normie Osborn in the Spider-Girl series was a really cool story and character as well.

[@baanfoo_8318]

Dude, nice video however you should point out the miniserie Renew Your Wovs that started this story, without this miniserie is a little confusing. If you already pointed out clearly in the video, my bad, I probably missed it.

[@johnmobley9369]

When I hear about current, Spider-Man runs, it’s usually trash talking, especially with the relatively recent JJ Abrams take. He tried doing something similar but instead killed MJ at the beginning and instead of Annie it’s Ben Parker. It wasn’t all that good but I’ve had this on my list. Should I check it out?

[@retronerds6884]

Yes check it out

[@ozmasterofmasks5838]

This made me want the MC2 back as well

[@MageofSwords]

While I do like the RYV story, my only issue with it is letting an 8 yo run around as a superhero. While the Power Pack is a thing, They don't have parental supervision and don't deal with city level threats most of the time. Spider-Man does, and his powers are already being partially drained by MJ using the tech from Regent to simulate his powers, so he and MJ basically make up one spider-person's worth of power. That can cause some issues when you need to save one of your partners.

[@pierreblanchon4722]

Thank you for talking about this comics, more people should discover it hell make a version with this family with two more children (mayday and Ben)

Spider-man has the guide to greatness in Spider-girl. That was extremely succesful at the time. People don't talk about renew your vows because it's not the mainline continuity. Currently the best spider-man product is Joe Fixit, which is insane.

I remember reading this comic when it came out and even tho I liked it thought it was messed up that the only reason Marvel Comics gave us this was in an alternate universe comic

[@BrooklynAvenue]

The only problem with the Spiderman family stories is that it would be OK if Peter were still the main character and able to grow up, be successful.

[@mr.dystopian5554]

I've been meaning to pick up this series. But I'll be more biased toward the MC2 and how they handled Peter's life and kids.

[@jeppyjep]

Spider-Girl doesnt really show Peter's and MJ's life that much. Its Mayday's story, after all. While in Renew Your Vows, we get to see Peter and MJ learning how to be parents. Its not just focus on Annie, it also focused on Peter's struggling to let MJ and Annie help him in combat and MJ struggling with her clothing business. Its a really great comic about thr Parker family in general.

[@neutralbychoice3584]

The comic may be good, but MJ and the daughters suits completely miss the point of Spider-man’s suit being complete anonymity. You dont know his skincolor and certainly dont know his hair color (except if the suit gets damaged). It gives the felling that anyone could be under the mask and it really doesnt work when you can see a good part of there face.

[@jeppyjep]

Anyone could be under the mask. Anyone could also alter and change the mask depending on their likings, personalities and identities.

It really makes you punch the air in frustration at what could have been one of the best arcs for Spider-Man, but is unfortunately banned as an alternative universe. It's like they're dangling the big prize out of reach while throwing shit at the readers faces. Spider-Man's struggle with life and the universe itself is pretty much a core part of his character, but you're supposed to give a light at the end of the tunnel, something he will fight for to the very end, and then comes the payoff, that glimmer of hope. Just throwing Peter back in the mudpit just to have him crawl from being jobless and having his romantic life wrecked is not only tired to death, but just plain bad writing. Give my man a break, he deserves every ounce of happiness that comes in his way

@@LewisFilmsProductions but Slott did write the miniseries before it tho and the funny thing with him is that he believes (in a nutshell) that Peter shouldn't be allowed a family because then the book would turn into a family book similar to the FF and that's not what it's about.
