On July 21, in "Amazing Spider-Man" #638, fans will finally read the first chapter of a previously unrevealed event from Peter Parker's romantic life as writer Joe Quesada and artist Paolo Rivera kick off "One Moment In Time," an arc set to detail exactly what occurred on the day Peter was supposed to marry Mary Jane. " It's the story of what happened on the wedding day, and it's the story of what broke Mary Jane and Peter apart. It's a big story for us because it's the sequel to the giant story, 'One More Day,'" Wacker explained. "It's certainly our tentpole book of the summer. We've got beautiful art, both by Paolo Rivera and Joe (along with his partners in crime Danny Miki and Richard Isanove). We're running a chunk of the original Wedding Annual in there as well, because it spins out of that story. So the lovely Paul Ryan art from the 1987 Wedding Annual will be seen in the book.
"Like 'One More Day,' though, this story is ultimately a small, emotional character piece. It's big because of how it affects continuity and all that external stuff, but plot wise, it's not 'Siege.' If you're invested in these characters, that's what's driving this story," Wacker continued. "'O.M.I.T.' is a small story filled with big decisions; decisions that change two people's life dramatically. We've all had endless numbers of decisions that we've made - big and small - which affected the course of our lives. A decision to turn right when you're walking out of Grand Central Station affects you life in ways that you may never even know. So in my mind, stories like these are small
but if you care about the characters, you want to see how the choices they make in these stories shape them."
"O.M.I.T." will also include several revelations about some other long standing mysteries in "Amazing Spider-Man." Wacker revealed that readers will learn the secret behind the mysterious psychic blind spot that's been protecting Spider-Man's secret identity since the "Brand New Day" era begin.
