But you won't hear me complaining. Very happy that the SPEC. SPIDEY stories hit the top ten, too, as they're personal favorites of mine. And the death of Aunt May in AMAZING #400, another personal favorite, came in at #12. <br /><br />I've said it before and I'll say it again: In the big picture, polls and awards don’t mean much, but it sure is nice to be appreciated. I am deeply grateful.J.M.

I still love the drama and the comic spirit and the way you put Petey and MJ - all their problems, and love, and webs - and some days ago I watched a new Thundercats episode that you were in the credits as writer and I felt all the feelings and emotion from the time I was a nerd teenager fascinated for Peter and MJ, and I said: "Man, that's DeMatteis. This sir knows how to make me cry".<br /><br />I believe you. Characters like Peter are real in some way in some time in some world. I believe it too. They are a kind of "demigods" for us, but just normal to themselves.Luís CShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12630757514084528738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4193334913733210326.post-72907015814618659162012-05-31T16:16:47.028-04:002012-05-31T16:16:47.028-04:00That's VERY funny, David!That's VERY funny, David!J.M.

Conway and Stern as well, and many others with very honorable mention! It would also be nice--and very smart on their part--to involve you in the next Spider-Man movie (after the latest makes a bunch of money and the follow-up is greenlit). Either as a writer, a consultant or even in an on-camera cameo with Stan Lee! Cheers!A.
