I (Heart) Marvel

Tom Beland (True Story, Swear to God) stopped by Talk@Newsarama to talk to fans about his recent story in Spider-Man Unlimited, as well as to discuss his next Marvel project featuring Mary Jane and Spider-Man:

During the month of February, Marvel is going to do an event much like the Monsters on the Loose that just ended recently. The event is called I (HEART) MARVEL and will focus on a different relationship existing in the Marvel universe each week.

Cory Walker (Invincible) is the artist. Beland added:

This will be a 22-page story and will focus on just what it is about Mary Jane that Peter loves. It'll have action (with an appearance from one of my favorite Marvel "villains"....) and humor and some very deep emotions.

Earlier in the thread, he talked about a project with Bongo: I've also got a full-issue RADIOACTIVE MAN for Bongo Comics due out in 2006. Homer is Galactus, coming to devour Springfield.

Sounds like Beland is receiving some well-deserved exposure and new work.
