Pencils & 50/50 Cover by JOE QUESADA

ONE MORE DAY PART 4
The riveting conclusion to the most-talked about -- and controversial -- comics event of the year. Brought to you by J. Michael Straczynski and Joe Quesada. Brace yourself, Spidey fans, after this, nothing will be the same for Peter Parker!
The stakes have never been higher. 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 will he do...what would you do, if you only had "One More Day?
48 PGS./Rated A $3.99
Yeh......i don't see many fans clamoring for an ending of the marriage and to turn MJ into a crime fighter instead.
Sheesh.

THAT'S IT!!! TMOB, you've given my life purpose! I'll invent a time machine, go back to 1970 and then invent the internet (with polluter #1 Al Gore's help, of course!). Then, I'll return to read my ALL NEW back issues! Then I'll come online and read about how much Joey wants to end Pete & Gwen's marriage simply because no one can truly love a Joey Q. Awwwwww....Remember, if the internet had existed in 1973, Gwen's death would have been retconned within 6 months...
Have you not been paying attention?!?I thought your purpose in life was 1) the destruction of Reed Richards, 2) world domination & 3) the liberation of your mother's soul from Mephisto's realm...
Before we all have JQ's head on the chopping block, let's not forget that MANY WRITERS have complained over the last 20 years about taking on Spider-Man writing assignments because they feel that they can't write the stories they want to tell with a married Spider-Man, including Roger Stern & Marv Wolfman, who have had the BEST runs on Amazing Spider-Man not including Stan Lee.
So perhaps this "controversy" is more an "in-house" problem than an actual fanboy problem.
Having said that, I want to be entertained with excellent storytelling, so I'll have to wait and read OMD before passing judgement. While I may not like the outcome, if it's a plausible explanation and within Peter's character (taking into account of how his life is pretty much destroyed), then I'll go along with it.

He basically said it going to be a VERY BAD new status quo. With bad plot ideas. 
All very good points, which makes me all the more worried.
It seems like JQ doesn't mind being yelled at, (as we all know,) so being the 1st major creator stating his point of view, more and more creators are crawling out of the woodwork agreeing with 'no marriage,' sentiment. Sadly.
Once again, saying all that, Stant the man has NO PROBLEM writing a married MJ and Pete very well, in his Spidey strip, why can't all the 'contemporary,' writers do that?
What I find most ironic, is that JQ has stated PLENTY of times, that compared to DC, the difference with Marvel and their characters, is Marvel treat their characters more as 'characters,' and less like 'icons.'
But funilly enough, he OPENLY says that Spidey needs to be treated as an 'icon,'
It'd be really tough for me personally, as whenever I'm asked by someone what's been so special about Spidey, I've said again and again, that I LOVE the development Spidey has had over the years.
NO OTHER MAJOR COMIC CHARACTER IN HISTORY has ever developed like Spidey has. IMO, that's EXACTLY why people are so attached to him. My own girlfriend, (who before meeting me, didn't hold much of an interest in comics,) noticed it too. She told me that compared to so many other characters, Peter Parker feels a lot more 'real,' to her.
I dunno, don't want to yell before anything has been published, but I've already heard some stuff from inside sources. I've been told some guys who hold a major comic con, that it's going to be one of the biggest piles of crap ever, and Spidey sales will reach a major low.
When I asked why, seeing as the fans don't want it, (bear in mind, these guys OBVIOUSLY have spent time a lot of time talking with JQ,) the only response I got was, 'he's a dick.'
Now, the guy may have been yanking my chain on Marvel's behalf to hold back on a a great story, but I got the feeling he was telling the truth.

I'm not buying it...I'm seriously contemplating not even giving this a shot, and reading it all in the shop. We all KNOW what they are going to do. MJ will be gone as Peter's wife. We've all read "Swing Shift", and everyone here noticed that Peter DOES NOT have on a wedding band, doesn't mention MJ, and we say a VERY horribly designed character in the form of "Jackpot", which is clearly the "New MJ".
I think I'm just going to drop all the Spider-titles...including Ultimate. I love Immomen's art, but the story in USM has just started to interest me less and less...and now ASM will follow an older single Peter Parker.
Great, I guess we'll just see how far Joey Q will go to alienate the long-time fans...
