Product Description: The stakes have never been higher for Peter Parker. At his darkest hours - and he's had plenty - Peter has always had one shoulder to lean on, one person who'd remind him who he is, who he was, and who he can be. Now he's about to lose that person. What would he do... what would you do, if you only had "One More Day?" The most-talked about - and controversial - comic event of the year - brought to you by J. Michael Straczynski and Joe Quesada! Collects Amazing Spider-Man #544-545, Sensational Spider-Man #41, Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #24 and Marvel Spotlight: One More Day/Brand New Day.
Ruining every thing great in a character Spider Man has always been the Marvels Superman. He had a strong marriage with his wife, took responsibility and always tried to do the right thing. However recently Spider Man had changed, in Marvel Civil War he revealed his identity to the public, this seemed out of character due to the fact on how carefully he guarded his secret identity. Then One More Day happened a terrible recon that ruined the character, all because Joe Quesada disapproved of the marriage. In fact for those of you who don't know, this wasn't the first time he tried to get rid of the marriage. A couple of years ago Joe Quesada had Mary Jane's plane blow up and left everyone to assumed she died. The fan backlash was enormous so he rectoned it and everyone was happy. Then he pulls this, he was like "You know what, Screw the fans! I want to ruin the marriage, I can do whatever I want!" I have actually heard that the stories have gotten better since One More Day, but One More Day made a lot of people quit the book, cancel supporting titles and it ruined Spider Man's character. The equivalent of having Spider Man make a deal with the devil is the same as having Superman do it, its dumb and out of character. Also Aunt May really needs to bite the dust, they tried to kill her back in the 70s (She had a couple of heart attacks) the 90s (I believe the clone saga) This is a insult to the fans and to the readers, and has ruined the character of Spider Man
One less "amazing" spider-man Let me start by saying that I wouldn't be at all surprised if Joe Quesada had written this script all by himself and only put Straczysnki's name on the cover just for sales purposes. The story is unimaginative and superfluous, the potential for a really good story is there at the beginning but gets lost as it progresses (or should I say, drags on) and we are given a reality altering finale that serves no purpose other than to redo (or undo) spider-man's past history up until that point, while at the same time showing the total opposite to the character's true nature. All in all it makes for a boring read and adds nothing to spider-man's mythos, only destroying what had been established before. Surely in the end Quesada accomplished what he set out to do in the first place as this story generated a lot of fiery debate amongst the comic fan community and garnered a lot buzz for the character thus acting as a sales boost (there is no thing as bad publicity, especially when it comes from word of mouth). And thats all you will get out of this ladies and gents, a big marketing ploy. And overall a book you should avoid like the plague.
The worst thing that ever happened to Spider-Man These are the issues that after twenty plus years of reading Spidey, finally made me give up on the character all together. This is the beginning of the end. Not only is it badly written, and is the art ugly as hell. It has Peter Parker make a deal with the devil, and has the devil actually win.
On top of that, it sets of Brand New Day, which is probably the worst series of Spider-Man stories ever written.
Avoid at all cost.
Complete and utter dog $#!t Marvel tells Spider-Man readers of the last 20 years to eat their poo.
'Nuff Said
must read the rest! y'all know what? you must read the brand new day, and so forth!
there's one story where MJ's back to new york (from paris), i forget which #, and as predicted, peter remembered nothing about MJ than an old friend of someone. At the end of the story, the part which is most interesting to me is that MJ actually DID NOT forget abut peter, as he forgot her. At the end page she said,"GO GET'EM,TIGER!" .
Seems like Mephisto only erased peter's memories and not MJ's!! That's quite a story, eh?
