During the last 5 years we have seen Spider-Man get organic shooters, Aunt May confessing her knowlege of Peter's ID, Spidey revealed as an arachnic avatar, loose an eye and having a healing factor as powerful as Logan's.....i think the marriage has been already overpowered....

********************
Everything else is easilly ignored or reversed -- well aside from what they've done to Aunt May. I'd rank that second to the marriage, but it never would have happened *without* the marriage.
I was reading a preview for an upcoming Spider-Man issue and he's all quippy and such (while unmasked -- they've sort of lost the point that Peter is painfully shy when not "escaping" himself as Spider-Man) and given that he's a married, school teacher in his late 20s, he just came off as a big jerk -- the kind of person I hate. It's a shame.

You know, I don't think this story is any worse than four-armed Spidey or Electric Boogaloo Superman or Teen Tony Stark or any other temporary story line.
He's gonna have a new suit for a while, and it looks fun. Setting the stage for the larger Cival War storyline doesn't bother me either. Comic books are a soap opera. But, after a time, I have no doubt that the old duds will be back.

***
he hasn't been painfully shy since he rode a motorcycle, roomed with Harry, dated beautiful Gwen and MJ, etc. In effect, since he went to College.
In fact, I might argue that he wasn't even shy in high school. Picked on, yes. Out of step. Heck, he invited the most popular kids in school to go to that little science experiment

Peter David perfectly "got" that point in Spider-Man 2099 when he made Miguel O'Hara a smart ass who became pretty taciturn when he put on the webs.
As for the new costume, the colors are all wrong and the "spats" are dumb. Other than that, it's okay. But if you're going to give Spider-Man a new costume, why come up with something so close to just a red-and-gold version of the black-and-white costume.

I figure this will be a temporary thing as well. Since I'm not reading the Spider-Man titles at present, it affects me... how? Not at all, really.

The Newsarama article says the design was kind of inspired by a Chris Bachalo sketch, but I wonder who actually drews the picture in the article? It looks like Kevin O'Neil of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen fame - but I can't imagine him doing redeisgn sketches for Marvel.
John, in your experience does Marvel ever pull in artist unrelated to a given project to do design work?

It doesn't much look like it, but I think the art in that design is by Joe Quesada.
