Message: [QUOTE="Luxfin, post: 569588, member: 271778"] This is Spider-Man One More Day. OMD is highly INFAMOUS for basically ruining main-line Spider-Man comics. It is the result of what happened when Peter revealed his identity during the highly controversial Marvel Civil War. The comic basically starts off with May quite literally taking a bullet meant for Peter. Afterwards it devolves from everyone of Peter's 'friends' telling him to either that they can't do it and let her die (Doctor Strange) or tell him to eff off (Tony Stark). Along asking Doctor Doom, the High Evolutionary, Reed Richards, and Doctor Octopus; none are able or willing to help him. This all to a head where Peter and MJ makes a deal with the LITERAL DEVIL to save Aunt May at the cost of his and MJ's marriage. Before completing the deal, Mephisto spitefully reveals that the little girl was in fact Peter and Mary Jane's future daughter, who will now never exist because of the choice they made. (AKA erasing Spider-Girl from existence in the Earth 616 timeline.) This story is so bad and dumb in how this story is executed that it permanently killed a lot of people's interest in Cape-Comics from either of the big two (DC and Marvel) or comics in general because it was such a huge middle finger to all the progress that Peter had went through since 1962 along with the damage that Civil War was causing to the other characters. It was basically the ultimate symbol of "WE DO NOT CARE ABOUT PROGRESS." The worst part is how stubborn Marvel is with making sure that this story stays even after all the backlash from over the years. Think of all the repetitive and infuriating moments that current amazing Spider-Man comics have made since then and it all traces back to THIS ONE COMIC. The writer of the comic hated it so badly that he even wanted to take his name off the last two books because of the deal with the devil moment before being talked out of it. It's even worst when it was tied back to how editorial back then really did not like Spider-Man married and had this laying in wait for two years before that. The writer was basically put into a no-win situation because this comic was going to happen one way or another with or without him and decided to it himself. The deal with the devil part was not his idea, editorial was the one to do that part. Originally OMD was going to be Peter time-traveling back to 1973 to stop Gwen Stacy from dying but because that would destroy the 30 years of comics stories that took place after her death, the devil taking the marriage was the result. OMD sucks and this is my Rants. [/QUOTE]
