Does this mean super-hero titles will slip back into telling sappy saccharine tales where everyone adheres to the same conservative moral code? How long before Iron Man sports Duck Tales stickers on his armor? Is this a good move or not?
At least we've got a new joke out of it: Spider-Man is divorcing Mary Jane. The judge is asking him why he wants a divorce but is unsure if the reason he just gave has to do with her psychological state or adultery. He asks for clarification, "Mr. Spider-Man, what exactly did you mean when you said, 'She's f****ng Goofy!'?"
Ah, a new take on an old classic. And inherent in that value judgement may be all the tensions that fanboys and fangirls will feel about this move.
