As for the Future of Spider-Man in 2010... here's what the Editor of Marvel had to say:
Jonah Weiland:
You threw a quote out on Twitter along the lines of "Holy crap! We've got something huge planned for the Spider-Man line that will make everyone happy!" Can you give us some context on that?
Joe Q:
Welllllll, I did say some time ago that many of the unanswered questions about the wedding were going to be answered in 2010, and we're gearing up to that. It's very cool to see that we're finally coming on to that time. But no matter how much we answer, some people will just be upset anyway. I'm looking forward to it. [Laughter]
Kiel Phegley:
Since "Brand New Day" kicked off, there have been a few stated goals for the thrice-monthly "Amazing Spider-Man." First, it was to reestablish single Peter and inject some new life into the property. Lately, you guys have been exploring a "phase two" with the return of several classic villains through this new "Gauntlet" storyline. Is there a "phase three" for "Brand New Day" on the way, and what would that look like?
Joe Q:
Well, I think it's pretty obvious that MJ is going to be back, so that's going to open a whole new can of worms with respect to relationships the characters will have or won't have. Should I even say the word "baby"? Should I use that word? I'll just put that out there: Baby. Mary Jane. Baby. Mary Jane with a… yes, baby. I'll stop there.

SoratheKey - Ok so the art for Siege looks good, can't say I like the idea of having Victoria Hand get naked so she can surrender. As for the Spider-Man news.... WOW! A baby! and I thought they wanted them be separated... Weird!
I guess that whole casting for the baby red-headed kid in Spider-Man 4 doesn't seem so out there now... huh?
