One of my favourite story arcs that! So powerful. Until years later when they went back to it and tried to say that before her death Gwen had gone to France and had an affair with Normon Osbourne and bore him twins. Which kinda messed up her memory

There hasn't ever been a good comics story involving Pete's parents. I've gone from being excited to being wary about this but we shall see...
