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.
I know it's a sore spot for fans, but.. If you take the controversy away from the story, it's actually a well crafted story. You can't help but have your eyes water just a little when it fades to black on Peter and MJ. Not to mention that this story leads into Brand New Day, which to me is the Spider-Man book I've been wanting since I started reading comics.
Not a steady spider man fan but i liked it alot Well I'll be honest I don't read spider man often. or marvel for at matter, so the whole thing with revealing their identities for some law is new to me. I just randomly got this book and gave it a read. Though I love Dr. Strange and he shows up in here, which is a plus right away. I won't go into the story much since everyone else seems to have done that in their reviews. I just think that this is a good story about possibilities and fate and compromise. Giving up what you have to get back what you think you want, and refusing to let go of things that make you happy. But in the long run, wind up losing something that is going to be of more value than what you gave up. He makes a deal the devil and loses something very important to him (peter that is) and gets what he thinks is what he wants. He saves aunt may's life. But the telling of this story is really what is great. It's got a little of the "this could be your life" element in it, it's got dr strange in it, and then of course the devil himself. Definately worth a read. You may not agree with the ending, in fact I would hope you don't. He doesn't do something silly like sell his soul, and besides that's been done to death. He goes deeper and worse. And that's what may this a great read for me.
Not that Bad One more day wasn't that bad. It doesn't deserve all the one stars everyone gave it. You can't hate the writing skills of J. Michael. You may not like how it ended but I thought it was pretty good and the artwork was great. The ending was rushed and yeah, the conclusion wasn't the best butI think it's worth getting, especially if you just read Spiderman and Peter Parker Civil war TPB. Like I said, One More Day is good, but Brand New Day on the other hand...
Hard to get worked up about it one way or the other... So, Marvel's devil-baddie Mephisto made a deal with Spidey to rejigger his reality so that all the bad stuff that's happened to him (secret identity revealed, etc.) never happened, but the price is that Peter Parker "never married" Mary Jane? Golly, how long will *that* last?
Is Superman still dead? Are the Fantastic Four still broken up? Is the Hulk still banished into outer space? Do we still care anymore? These days it seems like Marvel is just ping-ponging from "big story" to "big story" trying to make every issue part of some mind-blowing story arc that you "have to" read in order to keep up. Yawn. Enough with the endless parade of gimmicks and reality-altering plotlines - that's not what's going to save the superhero franchise in the long run. If they'd just tell GOOD STORIES, I'd keep reading them. The "Ultimate" alternate reality stories were fun at first but now they, too are sinking into shoot-'em-up medocrity... All I want are fun, intelligently written, well-illustrated stories - big-concept "events" are a turn-off. (Slipcue book reviews)
One More Day The real shame about one more day is that in all the uproar over the ending of this story one of the great artistic turns in comics is missed. The story of One More Day serves only to get Spider-man to a place where editor in chief and Artist Joe Quesada Felt spider man needed to be and thats a single man. the real problem i see if the ending. To me the hero in the story is the one person who has to bare the brunt of the damage be it emotional or physical. It is the hero that gives something up and has to live with the pain brought by his choices. instead this book makes peter parker/spider-man look like a wimp, if this book was called the Amazing Marry Jane then the ending of this book would fit perfectly. The art is amazing But the ending is just a let down. credit Joe Quesada for the end not J. Michael Straczynski,who did an amazing job on spiderman. buy this book for the art its worth it...well maybe wait for the paper back.
