Hero Finally Gets Girl: Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane #1

Looking to expand its core audience, Marvel Comics scored home runs with two critically acclaimed and best-selling Mary Jane mini-series by Sean McKeever and Takeshi Miyazawa. Now, the drama continues in Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane #1. (OCT051990, $2.99)

Previous Mary Jane installments have been featured in Entertainment Weekly's "Must List," and compilations (HC: STAR18939, $14.99; TP: NOV035035, $8.99; Vol. 2 HC: APR041736, $14.99; Circle of Friends Digest TP: AUG041828, $5.99; Homecoming Digest TP: JUL051925, $6.99) continue to entertain Spider-Man fans and readers looking for something female-friendly. Part soap opera, part teen drama and part traditional comic book adventure, Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane #1 is the perfect jumping-on point for new and established readers. Face it, tiger - fans just hit the jackpot.

Mary Jane Watson's so-called life has gotten complicated since her break-up with Harry Osborne. In "The Boyfriend Thing," Mary Jane is on the market again and at an emotional crossroads, and must choose between her bookish-but-sweet tutor and newest friend, Peter Parker; or the dangerous, exciting crime-fighter in red and blue tights, Spider-Man.

Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane #1 is slated to ship December 28.
