the most fucked up thing about civil war is scott lang just got out of prison, and then hanging out with captain america for a single fucking day gets him locked up in a super secret ultra prison.
steve better fuckin' apologize to him every goddamn day.
They made it pretty clear that what they were doing was not legal and gave him a chance to back out. The thing about Lang is that he went to jail in the first place because he broke the law tring to do the right thing. He's probably the character most thematically appropriate for that situation.

Can someone please say no to Dan Slott writing Spider-Man anymore? It's been someone else's turn for a good while now. I still think he should have tagged out after Superior.

It's a little too literal of a reading of all stories need conflict, generally. And will they or won't they stay together is pretty low-hanging fruit as far as that goes. And it makes writers think that it that it shuts the door on further story opportunities.
Which is especially annoying with Spider-Man. Because half of Parker's problems pre-marriage are mundane every day problems that are super relatable. When marriage comes a long you should be able to draw from even a bigger pool of mundane problems that super-heroing and marriage would pull from. But nope.

And I dunno. Comics can be neat in that generally a marriage or starting the relationship are what happen at the end of a story. Serial comics are one of the few mediums where they regularly have to show the actual day to day of a relationship. If anything they should lean harder into that.
When I think long lasting Marvel couples I think (and I'm just drawing off nostalgia):
Cyclops/Phoenix
Storm/Black Panther (I actually think Storm/Forge but I dont think that lasted too long)
Nightcrawler/Amanda Sefton
Kitty/Colossus
Spidey/MJ
ProfessorX/Moira
Reed/Sue
Tony/Pepper
...and I think all of those are gone? Except maybe Reed/Sue.

Tony/Pepper; I always find funny, because they were in the comics definitely not a couple for a long, long while. Pepper was with Hogan, Tony with various women (First kiss in Busiek's run between Tony and Pepper had them immediately be very turned off)
I think Northstar is still married? But he married not that long ago and his husband whole character is "Northstar's husband".

Yes, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage got married in New Avengers Annual #1. They are still married, too.
Tony and Pepper were never really a couple in comics. She got married to Happy Hogan way back when and was married to him up until he died in Fraction's Iron Man run.
I don't recall Professor X and Moira ever being a couple either. He spent way more time with Lilandra (who is also dead now).

The amount of failed Kitty relationships alone is getting tiring.
Yeah she really needs to just come out of the closet already.
Young Jean can help her with that
There's some people who are very hopeful she'll finally hook up with Rachel in X-Men Gold due to Guggenheim saying something about an LGBTQ character in the series who has not been revealed yet
(although personally I think Kitty/Illyana is the more interesting relationship)

Also wasn't Moira romantically connected to Banshee up until her death? Starting at 1980 thru 2001? I don't remember them splitting up. Though to be fair I know little of X-Men during the 90s.
Jessica and Luke were a great pairing and a good example of a married super hero couple.
Though it looks like Bendis is tearing that down so....
"tearing it down" is harshly phrased considering he created and has basically written their entire relationship. It's not like his usual continuity errors

Xavier and Moira were a couple way before the founding of the X-Men. Xavier went to war and when he returned she was married to another guy. Her relationship with Xavier ever since was basically good friends.

finally, a comic book for me

They had literally an entire decade of comic books for you.
and now it's back, baby

the Gwen covers were connected to the Spider-Gwen push, but Mary Jane's not getting her own series much less any notable push
Are the Mary Jane covers going to give us Mary Jane Parker again?

Or just stop dating guys named Peter.

I'd love it if the modern comics just embraced it wholesale. It would feel even more appropriate given who plays her in the movies.

have you read Claremont and Davis' Excalibur?
yeah, as far as Claremont was concerned, Kitty and Rachel were his ultimate canon ship
