Spider-Man's Radioactive Spooge Killed Mary Jane!!!

So Marvel has finally gone porno. In last week's issue of the new "dark" Spider-Man Reign, it was revealed that Spidey killed his wife MJ with . . . radioactive sperm. No, I am not kidding. Over at The Savage Critic(s) blog, Graeme McMillan says it better than I could:

I'mvery surprised that I've not seen more online outrage about the reveal,
this issue, of what killed Mary Jane: Spider-Man's cum. And for all ofyou who think I'm joking, here's the dialogue from the book itself: "OhGod, I'm sorry! The doctors didn't understand how it happened! How you had been poisoned by radioactivity! How your body slowly became riddled with cancer! I did. I was... I am filled with radioactive blood. And not just blood. Every fluid. Touching me... loving me... Loving me killed you!"

Seriously,
Marvel, WHAT THE FUCK? At what point did Spider-Man having radioactivesperm ever seem like a good idea? At what point did anyone even think
about Spider-Man having radioactive sperm? Jesus Christ, I can'tbelieve this ever saw print, I cannot believe that no-one at Marvelthought that having a comic where Spider-Man tells the corpse of hiswife - because, yeah, I meant to say that, he's talking to the corpse of his dead wife
- that he killed her with his special radioactive spider-spunk wasANYTHING that should ever be allowed to appear in a comic. And that'sbefore you even get to the continuation of his admission: "Like aspider, crawling up inside your body and laying a thousand eggs ofcancer... I killed you."

I just can't say WTF enough. I mean, I've seen *Legend of the Overfiend*and I know the dangers of radioactive sperm. But Spider-Man is no Overfiend. If this plot makes it into the new movie, though, I must admit I'll be sort of thrilled.

I didn't see that one coming [via The Savage Critic(s)]
