Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane #1
In "The Boyfriend Thing," Mary Jane watches Spider-Man battle Doctor Octopus on TV, then shares a quiet moment with Peter Parker as he tutors her in algebra. After a talk with Liz about her breakup with Flash Thompson, Mary Jane confesses her growing feelings—she plans to ask Spider-Man out. But when she finally tracks him down, the web-slinger gently turns her down. Written by Sean McKeever and brought to life with expressive art by Takeshi Miyazawa, this 2006 issue captures the bittersweet tension of young love and the weight of secrets, all under a cover by Miyazawa and Norman Lee.
