"Well I got the test results back." *Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man spoilers within*

It's an amusing out-of-context panel but it does highlight an easy answer for an otherwise massive flaw within comic book worlds - yeah, there are probably dozens if not hundreds of geniuses running around who could cure cancer overnight, but they simply don't want to.
You can argue until you're blue in the face that they should care and should want to, but I s'pose they just have more important things to take care of, like Galactus trying to eat the planet or whatever.
With how many times Marvel has pulled this kind stunt with her character, how is this trolling?
You seriously don't understand why putting the surprise of the first new issue of a comic in a thread title - not in the thread itself, but a title- before anyone can get to the store to read it, isn't going to be an issue for some people?
I myself personally don't care much about being spoiled but something like this should be in a thread behind a spoiler tag.
If you don't get that, then I'm not sure what else to tell you to make you understand.
If this was an older story, say a year old-then that's different. This isn't even out for most people yet.
are you one of those people who says that infinity war lacked steaks because it was obvious they are going to be revived in the next movie?
No, I cant understand thinking Aunt May might be dying is an actual surprise.
That's not up to you to decide. Why do you think a mod changed the title, out of curiosity?
Because they didn't expect it at this point? Like, we all know we will die, just not when. I know this is a bad analogy but bear with me
I didnt decide anything, I don't have any power here. But that doesn't prevent me from asking why people think this is a surprise given the history of the character and how she's written.
Great job on the title change mods. The open spoiler segment of society can be too much sometimes.
I'd say it's more likely that this is it for her tbh. Given the other adjustments that've been made since the relaunch and how it'll probably tie in to the OMD storyline that's going on.
With the sliding timeline, this event will likely only last like 10 mins in new Earth 616 before it revert. Its still 616 right?
So, uh, did she get exposed to radioactive materials the same way that Mary Jane was exposed in Spider-Man: Reign (because she was doing his laundry, pervs)?
I actually agree with Dr. Sauron. I want to turn people into dinosaurs too. The frequency with which it's quoted just highlights its genius. Even if the real world cures cancer we might start getting super cancer and comics will use that then.
To be honest I'm surprised Aunt May has lived this long. She's been drawn like a sickly mummy since the beginning. I don't mean to be rude but that's how I've always felt. :p
yooooooooooooooooooooPeter is on it.
yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
im crying lmao
OP
OP
Are they both embarassed at the haircut or is Peter sad he's about to get bad news and they're both ignoring the dreads?
The guy writing this series, Tom Taylor, is one of the best out there right now. He's amazing with characterization, and he's incredibly socially conscious. So before any of you jump on the Negative Nancy Bandwagon, you may want to take a deep breath and just see how things play out.
I think it's both lmao. The fact dude was like "it's not what it looks like" is HILARIOUS.
Either that or a clone to eventually lead to a series of retcons when everyone hates the story they're telling.
So we don't want Peter worried about money, marriage, or kids, but retreading the sick aunt angle for the 90th time in 60 years is what's popping in the streets?
Let Aunt May die. Kill her if you have to.
Just don't give me another ridiculous montage of Pete asking Dr. Strange and Reed goddamn Richards about why they can't cure breast cancer, and turning to some extra-dimensional evil to retcon his life again. Unless of course this is a plot device to un-retcon his life, in which case I say, fire away.

Absolutely-Tom wrote All new Wolverine and X-Men Red-two of the best X-Men books in like a decade. He also created the best new X-Man in years: Honey Badger.
Strange went to another dimension to find the panacea, and he used it to save Wong instead of giving it to humanity.
I looked through the first few pages on comixology this morning and opted not to buy it. Just wasn't feeling the art.
Well, I get why this might seem a bit boring for long time fans, May has been dying since the 60s after all. While also getting younger and healthier from time to time, lol. But hey, a mainstream comic talking about this subject matter is pretty cool I think.

Oh boy, this destroyed kid me. I don't care that they retconned it, I still love this issue.
He took a fucking video game adaptation and turned it into one of DC's best books. Did anyone honestly expect ANYTHING from Injustice? Taylor has more than earned the opportunity to tell whatever story he has in mind.
He completely understands how to make compelling stories and great characters.
So many writers think what makes X-Men stories interesting are pages after pages of characters showing off their powers in a big confusing fight.
