Spider-Man 2 might be set to give Peter Parker the one thing comics refuse to let him have - a stable relationship
A new, free comic is setting up the story of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, and maybe the most notable detail is that Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson look like they're set to finally settle down into the stable relationship that comic books keep ripping away from them.
At the end of the 2018 Spider-Man game - spoilers for that will follow, by the way - Peter and MJ discuss moving in together. We don't see much of their relationship in Miles Morales, but it's clear their plans to live together have faded, though the couple do go on what must be an extremely romantic trip to cover an overseas war. Peter returns before MJ, however, and there's a bit of a question mark hanging over their relationship leading into Spider-Man 2.
A prequel comic for Spider-Man 2, originally published for Free Comic Book Day last week and now available digitally on Marvel.com (opens in new tab), shows us a bit of how Peter and MJ's relationship is evolving as she returns to New York. Peter is reluctant to sell Aunt May's house in the wake of her death, and soon re-opens the question of having MJ move in. She quickly rejects the idea, but by the end of the comic, she and Peter are talking out their issues and getting closer together - just like normal adults in stable, long-term relationships do.
This setup makes it seem clear that Spider-Man 2 will put the focus on back on Peter and MJ, and some fans are already starting to grow hopeful that we'll see the couple settle down together, just like when they got married in the comics many, many years ago.
