In today’s episode of Indefensible Ink, your hosts discuss Marvel’s 2003 failed attempt to revive romance comics and/or troll Spider-Man fans: Trouble, or, The Fantabulous Sexual Emancipation of One Aunt May. Was having a thirtysomething Scottish guy write a story ostensibly aimed at American teen girls an amazing idea or merely a spectacular idea? Is Trouble the canonical origin of Peter Parker? Can Justin and Ryan contain their seething contempt for this storyline and give it a fair shake?
Also in this episode: the strange origin of Mary Jane’s famous catchphrase, way too much information about Uncle Ben and Aunt May’s sex lives, and proper disposal of your issues of Trouble.
Discussed: Trouble #1-5 (2003-04).
