Spider-Man: One More Day Conclusion

[samurainoir]

Maybe they plan on bringing back the Spider-clones in theri own title. Mepphisto comes to collect Peter's soul as payment and Pete shoves a clone over to him instead. It ends with him saying, " There's more where that cam from bucko!"

LOL! I love the fact that this solution kills two birds with one stone... One More Day AND the godawful Clone Saga.

If they wanted to erase people's memories of him revealing his secret identity why couldn't they just call on the Beyonder instaed. Not an obvious baddie like Mephisto but atill a better alternative.

The Beyonder is now revealed to be an Inhuman in the pages of New Avengers Illuminati.

Although I'm not sure how he was potrayed in the recent Beyond! miniseries by Dwayne Macduffie. I've been meaning to pick this one up.

Crash SIMPSON (stepfather figure) has his cancer cured by Mephisto (whom Johnny Blaze at the time believed to be "Satan"), before dying performing a motorcycle stunt.

Although the movie swapped out Barton Blaze in place of Crash Simpson.

So, if Harry's alive...and MJ was never married to Peter, does Venom exist? Remember when MJ first saw venom hiding in the closet with an evil smile? She thought it was Pete. But now, that never happened.

And what about Hydro-Man? Wasn't he diggin' on MJ too? Does he exist? What about the Kangaroo?

Every man's life touches another.
Petey, Janey, Zu Zu! Bert my mouth's bleeding!

AW YEAH TITANS!

I just finished reading that issue... "One more day?" How about, "Pull the plug!" JESUS. You mean to say we've been reading deadend sub-plots for all of this time? That Parker couldn't reason letting his Aunt May die to keep the love of his life? How long was he in her basement at home? That makes no sense. And what exactly does that do to the rest of the Marvel Universe? How can Cap still be dead? How can any part of the Civil War still exist? It can't! If Mephisto changes for one, he changes for all. This just fries every story I've been reading. I should have known the writers were going to panic and pull out the "FIX IT" button. I always said the entire Marvel universe was too far off it's axis to not have to be "reset" by a Godly power. I never knew how right I would be. It helps to be cynical about comic book writing. No matter how far out they take you, at the end of the day they always have to bring you back...so what's the point?

You just made tea come out of my nose reading this BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[mitchedwards]

Sheesh why doesn't Peter make like a 100 Aunt May clones, so ask one kicks off he can replace her.

Makes about as much sense as any Marvel plotline.

This just smacks of papering over the hideous cracks in continuity following the "civil war" debacle amongst other things ... it was almost writing by numbers, no1 save aunt may, no 2 get everyone to forget PP is Spidey, no 3 ...etc, etc. Obviously the changes made were not popular (like the clone saga) and it has to be changed and this was the quickest way of doing it..screw wether it makes sense or not or is well written.

I predict that MJ and Peter will eventually hook-up again....to prove to Mephisto that their love IS stronger than a deal with the devil. How they get to that point will probably unfold over the next few years...at which point no one will care anymore.

[palitoy]

I think I would have preferred hearing that Superboy's punching somehow affected the Marvel Universe....

Look for Peter Parker as the new Ghost Rider soon

Uh...Wouldn't that be Ghost Spider? LOL!

I'm not the biggest fan of Spider-Man, but I appreciate his history and continuity...I knew Joe Quesada has been trying to find a way to get rid of Mary Jane...This however, is the stupidest idea I've heard. Killing her off wasn't an option (it would make Peter a widower and in the reader's eyes...Older), divorce would have been just as bad (I can see Quesada's point on both of those counts)...But a deal with the devil to save ancient Aunt May and wipe their marriage from existance? Ugh!

What is so bad about letting the character stay married?

I've been checking out the Marvel Podcast every now and then. I think that at some time during every podcast I've listened to, someone from Marvel say's, "Just think how different the MU would be if Stan was still in charge." Which is a great point, because Stan was fearless with the characters. Stan would probably have killed off Aunt May and MJ years ago, but he wouldn't negate 20 years of stories with something as rediculous as a "deal with the devil".

Stupid stupid stupid.

[The Toyroom]

The Spidey books over the last several years have been one out-of-character-out-of-left-field-"event"-after-another. I'm so glad I haven't wasted my money on these.

Agreed..although I did buy the final part of "One More Day" to see the trainwreck for myself.

>The best follow up to this would be Aunt May having a heart attack and dying in a few issues. That's how deals with the devil usually go in fiction, ironic twist ending.

Wasn't that the origin of the Johnny Blaze Ghost Rider?
