Let us press pause in the fast-forward no-budget surrealistic movie that is our daily lives of muted acknowledgements and mumbled half-engagements for one pure moment of superhero romanticism: The wedding for Luke Cage and "Alias'" Jessica Jones in "New Avengers Annual #1.
CUTENESS!
Yes, they're interracial and had their baby out of wedlock, and she has a drinking problem, and he asks her if she's "aight" as she stares at his expansive-made-in-Attica-pectorals, and sometimes she totally gets cranky and wants to drop the baby on the Spiderstein neighbors... but screw you, conservative judge! It's still adorable and totally family values when Jessica stops Stan "Preacher Man" Lee with his recycled vows and beams at her new husband: "These words. They're just...words. I'm dedicating my life to you- and I'm saying someone else's words? That's nuts. I want you to know, I truly believe that together we're so much better than we are apart. And not in that creepy way! Really, I'm inspired by you. I don't get lost in my own head like I used to. This world is a scary place. But ever since we got together I just haven't cared. (...) Look at that kid over there. LOOK at her. We MADE her. And I LOVE watching you be a father. So much so that I'd wear this big poofed-out dress. I just wanted to let you know in my words. This is why I said yes to all this crazy. That's why."
*SNIFF SNIFF* I always cry at superhero weddings.
