Previous Post > It's not that a story about a married couple can't be interesting, it's that Peter Parker shouldn't be that guy. It takes him too far from the basic idea of what being Spiderman is about. Statements like that depend a lot on what exactly you feel Spider-Man is "supposed to be about." For someone like me who thinks of him as "the normal guy superhero," marriage is a perfectly acceptable move. Not to mention when you have a status quo in place for almost half of the existance of the character, that becomes part of "what the character is all about" - particularly since it informs any other incarnation of the character.

Hey, has anyone actually counted how many issues were written with a married Spidey as compared to the original single guy? Just curious, as I see the above statement a lot; About married Spidey existing for almost a half of the characters life. i.e 21 years I think, compared to around 24.
Not really saying it means all that much, but I'm curious to see if anyones totalled it up yet...
