And who can blame him, really
MJ and Pete are a classic couple. Trying to keep them apart just feels so forced.
Honestly, I always hated MJ, but I also recognize that was because I got into comics, and mostly Spider-Man comics, during the Maximum Carnage timeline, when MJ was a chain smoking bitch who went out clubbing with strange men while Peter was in costume fighting half-dead. It left a terrible impression on little 10 year old me. I'd be perfectly fine if she was never in another Spider-Man comic.
but then, my first exposure to her was her actual debut because I read essential spider-man.
i also read some trades with venom's premiere, and i thought she and peter were sweet together.
Yeah, the other problem is that the local comic shop closed a couple years after I found it, and she never really graduated from that in that time. That left me with pretty much no exposure to her in comics until I was out of college, had my first job, and found a new shop I could go to. When that kind of impression festers for a good 15 years, it's pretty close to impossible to change.
I think that if my first exposure to MJ had been struggling broadway actress deeply in love with Spider-Man rather than Super-model, Hollywood actress party girl, I would have liked her character. As it is, I tend to find her to be baggage hanging over Spider-Man's head rather than something decent.
Bah, I prefer Spidey swinging free. More conflict that way. That moment with Silver Sable? I was like "Yesssssssssssss-NOOOOOOOOOOOO".

Now him and Ms. Marvel? That's something I could get behind with.
Yeah, it's inevitable that he gets back together with Mary Jane, so they should use the opportunity to have some dating shenanigans now while he's single

Maybe MJ dies at the end of Ends of the Earth. His global warming stuff sets off a ginger genocide.
lol
Exactly. Worse case scenario, we Archie-style Spidey. Tons of characters want to get with Peter or Spider-Man, but none get to close the deal.
Except Black Cat.

Has Peter dated anyone in the superhero biz apart from her?

He also went on a date with Carol Danvers.

IIRC, Pete and Natasha had a thing going on in that one, no clue where that led.
No, the trick with Black Cat is she doesn't want to be "together" outside of a sexual sense. And depending on where you are in the timeline, she's not interested in Peter Parker at all.
Assuming those two things remain the same, every interaction is magic.

It seems a lot like it intends to make some stance on whether the author thinks global warming is/is not an actual threat.
I don't want to sound like someone who doesn't want to consume media that doesn't agree with me, but I would be pretty disappointed if I got to the end of this all and it ended up to be some conservative slam on global warming science.
So far it definitely has that "you're all sheeple" vibe to it, what with the world turning against Spider-Man on the basis of stopping global warming.
EDIT:
Though the more I'm reading it, the more I'm excited by the possibility that it will turn out that Spider-Man is actually wrong about Ock.
Steaaaaaaam
I think it's walking the line a lot better than other moments, like when Joe Kelly broke the 4th wall to bash Bush n American Son (fistbump). Comics aren't a conservative stronghold, and even if it did turn out to be that way in this arc, you've got books all the time going the other way with points. Slott's a better writer than to let his politics come into play.
The alternative would be Ock curing cancer or something

You say this, but there's a big panel of Spider-Man punching Al Gore (albeit, a doppelganger of him) in the face while Barack Obama looks on in horror.
And the phrase "How's this for an inconvenient truth?"
Though, I admit, these sort of things are all in how you want to interpret them.
he does that all the time
and him punching Al Gore is also meant to be a joke because HOLY SHIT DID HE JUST PUNCH AL GORE OH wait no it is Chameleon
Steaaaaaaam
Dude, that's nothing. Ultimate X-Men had a naked Bush licking Magneto's boots on the White House Lawn. Punisher had a drunk Bush be threatened by the Punisher who broke into the White House. Joe Kelly wrote a whole issue of JLA using Superman as a soap box for not invading Iraq.
Slott did that moment with a lot of on the nose humor and even had an out for it.
Fair enough
I'll be interested to see how this plot-line ends up developing.
This was taken to the extreme on the forums for a weekish too, because the preview for that issue, stopped before the Chameleon reveal, and even tho we all knew it was Sinister Six, none of us guessed it and all felt kinda dumb.
It was great!
