Did Byrne complain about the scene though? All I've read is his basically calling Slott a liar for saying that the sex isn't what he intended by leaving it off panel.

Well, he did kind of say, "Think of the 10-year-olds!"

Imagine how much worse for Peter (an the fans) this whole thing could have turned if Marvel had recognized that shit Millar wrote in Trouble as canon.

I'm shocked that a comic with THIS cover

failed.

No seriously I'm shocked, comic fans are a bunch of degenerates.

Well, Peter has no way to mentally experience that... YET.

The summary is brilliant though:

[Reveal] Spoiler: Click to Expand

May and her best friend Mary work in a resort in the Hamptons during their summer vacation, looking for some fun away from home. Soon they make friends with fellow service staff members Richard and his brother Ben and the four of them, after a couple of days of hard work and being bossed about by the guests, go to a dance together. After the dance and a round of night swimming they head back to their rooms: May takes Ben to her room and sleeps with him, while Mary tells Richie it is too fast for her and she wants to wait before having sex with him. She later reveals to him it is because a palm-reader told her she would become a mom before she was twenty if she had sex in her teens. The same fortune-teller also told May nobody was ever going to call her "mom", which explains why May is so open in her relationships. Richie is not very understanding of her reasons for not sleeping with him and starts an affair with May. May tells Mary she is cheating on Ben, but not with whom. A while later, she finds out that she is pregnant. Upon realizing the fortune-teller must have been wrong, Mary now finally sleeps with Richie, who then ends the affair with May. When May reveals her pregnancy to Ben, it turns out he's sterile and her affair with Richie, who must be the father, is uncovered. May is thinking about having an abortion, but decides against it. Afraid of going home and facing her dad with an unwanted child she runs away.

After some time of living with a guy she is disgusted by and never even tells she is pregnant May contacts Mary and meets with her. Mary is still very angry with May for having an affair with Richie and tells her she deserves all the trouble she is going through, but decides to help her when May tells her she has been thinking about suicide. Mary comes up with the plan to tell everybody the baby is hers, so May will not have to face her fundamentalist parents and Mary can test if she can trust Richie, who is still in love with her and writing her frequent letters, none of which she has answered, yet. So once little Peter is born, Mary takes him to Richie and they start a family, while May returns home to her parents as if nothing had happened.
