I believe they thought she died in a plane crash or something. Since then she's been back and living in Cali, trying to make a go of her acting career. Her marriage to Peter hit the skids cause of course she couldn't really deal with his being Spiderman.
Who could?
But since the movie became a hit, the voices on high want a good wholesome Peter Parker with a no problems relationship with MJ, so word is they're gonna fix the marriage or somethin'.
It kinda sucked that they co-opted one of the greatest moments in comic book history ( the death of Gwen Stacy was really killer, cause Spidey knew he killed her by trying to save her, but she would have died if hadn't tried anyway. Pure Genius! ), and then just make it a stunt in the movie. But if you dig the movie, they "restarted" Spidey in the Ultimate Spiderman series, which is close to the movies and is easier to get into.

Wasn't she killed by the Green Goblin? I don't know, I don't read the comic too.
Gwen Stacy was killed by the Green Goblin. That was the biggest problem with the movie, IMO. The part on the bridge was supposed to be Gwen and she was supposed to die because of her neck being broken when Spidey was catching her with a web while she fell, the sudden jerk of her body broker her neck.
Mary Jane did "die" for a bit, but I think they brought her back from the "dead" somehow. I'm not sure, I'll have to go and check when the stores open back up and run in and look at a Spidey comic.
Maybe Onslaught or Hungrywolf knows. I'm not quite sure, but you just can't get rid of Mary Jane like that, not after the Spider-man movie!
I wasn't an avid Spidey reader until recently. The newest stories are good. MJ is alive and her and Peter are having marital problems. I don't know that they ever killed her off, but I do know
Spoiler (Highlight to view) -
that Aunt May died though she didn't really die...it wasn't her or something. It was some trick of the Green Goblins (Norman Osborne, since he isn't really dead). In any case, when I saw her alive in the comics when I started reading The Amazing Spider-man regularly, I thought it was odd, but someone told me about the storyline, though I don't remember it exactly.

Oh, thanks. I want to see Spidey and MJ back together but I want to see it done with good story skills not just quick fix.
And I remember that Hydroman arc in the show. Speaking of the show, I hear a new one will be out in 2003...

Yeah, it's gonna be on MTV, and be done with some computer animation. Because Spidey is in, they got an all star voice cast as well.
ON MTV?! good god, it will probably have Limp Bizkit, Ja-Rule and Puddle of Mudd as background music, and the "all star" cast will probably be Carson Daly as Peter Parker and Mandy Moore as MJ....*begins to cry*
I have heard that Rob Zombie will be The Lizard and some singer was announced as Black Cat.
On subject of this post though, it is rare that someone REALLY dies in marvel comics everyone from Heroes Reborn after Onsalught, Aunt May, Green Goblin, and a few others have been revived.
