This image does nothing to help those who lack knowledge about Spider-Man and Gwen Stacy in particular. We can do better.

Previous thread.

I think it's pullable. It's a Jesus illustrating Kung-Fu Jesus JAFAAC.

Web it up and drop it off a bridge.

Retconning this image out of existence shouldn't require a deal with the devil. Let's get rid of it.

I wonder if putting a two-panel image of Peter/Gwen romance and the Peter/MJ's wedding will make it less JAFAAC?

Otherwise, I'd be fine with the pull.

It's a good example, though.

Is there any comic cover or image somewhere of, like, Peter doing something with Mary Jane while Gwen's presence is in the background, or something like that?

[up]Use this shot for the first panel. It's smaller and cleaner.

Nice combo there. But I agree, go with the second option for the first picture.

That one is used on I Let Gwen Stacy Die, sans the speech bubble.

Is it kosher to use it here too? (Being only half the image + speech bubble difference.)

Please let us try to get it concise in one image. Two panels is always a cheap cop-out.

Two panels is not always a cheap cop-out. Any trope that's a before-and-after thing, like this one is, is almost always clearer and better with two or more panels.

But if it can be done well in one, that's always preferable.

[up]Any suggestions?

Added the suggested combo to post #10.

I think 10.2 works.

definitely like 10.2 better.

I like 10.2 but the first frame is the same as the page image for I Let Gwen Stacy Die; that would be making a duplicate.

Oh, didn't notice the I Let Gwen Stacy Die. If that is unusable due to the duplicate, this might be a good alternative.

BTW, is it actually necessary to show how the first girl is written off? Or would it be alright to just show Peter and Gwen dating in the first panel and have the Mary Jane wedding as the second?

Re-clocking; how's this?

EDIT: Damn, missed the goop at the bottom.
