Constantly referencing/strip-mining stories that happened thirty years ago (no matter how good they may be) doesn't seem like a very productive way to recruit new, young readers who weren't even born when those stories were written, but oh well. Sooner or later someone will be in charge who grew up with the marriage and the cartoons and movies and considers the only "true" Spider-Man to be a married one.
