Mary Jane: Homecoming #1
In "The Cheating Thing," Mary Jane navigates the messy realities of high school—her boyfriend Harry’s lazy shortcuts, her best friend Liz’s simmering jealousy over Flash’s crush on her—while quietly daydreaming about the web-slinger who’s always just out of reach. Written by Sean McKeever and brought to life by Takeshi Miyazawa’s expressive art, this 2005 Marvel story captures the bittersweet tension between teenage life and the fantasy of something bigger. The cover, penciled by Miyazawa and inked by Norman Lee, perfectly frames Mary Jane’s quiet longing.
