Even more Jealous.

And Peter is Amazing Bagman!


Okay, I'll stopt:

A lot people seem to think that nothing is going to really happen until #545.
At least their not dragging this one out to 5 parts.

And another thing that upsets me about fans. When the other was coming out, all I heard was complaints that the story was dragging, that it was taking too long to tell... four months. We basically got a comic every week or so. The story did perfectly fine in pacing as I believe I would shot myself if The Other came out every mouth, or only twice a month.

What i'm trying to say is that OMD will only take 1-3 months. Not a big deal.

I think we all DO know pretty much what's gonna happen with this ARC, which does stink...

Aunt May will die.

Personally I don’t think she will.

I would find this a lot more offensive than (inevitably only temporarily) severing the marriage. If May dies in hospital, then that means they make Peter responsible for the deaths of both his parent figures. That would be totally unacceptable, and unrealistic. There is no way this amount of crap would befall one superhero. You might say- ‘Well, he did reveal his id’. I’d say it was JQ/JMS who did that and defiantly NOT something the real Spider-Man would have done if they actually understood how to write him.

If they brought back Aunt May from the death, after dieing of natural causes in one of the greatest ever send offs just so she could be slain because of a mistake Peter made, then this is will be on the scale of The Other and Sins Past and I REALLY don’t want to consider that.

MJ (and many others will be tragically mindwiped-restoring the secret identity which is GOOD...but ruining other parts of Pete's life which he may or may not forsee coming...)

MJ won't know she is married to Pete, and possibly vice versa.

Time/reality will somehow be altered so that MJ is still alive but not the same MJ we've always known...she'll be a crime fighter named JACKPOT.

Pete will date people and JQ will restore love triangles to Spider-Man, which he feels is an INTEGRAL part of Spider-Man stories, where he feels MARRIAGE is not.

Some of this may turn out to be true, but I still think it is a little early to correctly predict the exact outcome. Back when ASM#509 came out in 2004 posters here were all raving about how cool the art was and pondering who the chumps were that attacked Pete in the graveyard. No one at that stage guessed the content of the issues that followed. I know JQ has blabbed about this arc more than many others, but he’s never completely revealed a story before prior to print. I just feel there may be more to this than meets the eye. Either that or I just really hope that's the case…

Also got Amazing Spider-Man #258 LOL

Really nice! I would love to have that Issue. My very special Issues are (the special Issues are just Issues that are part of my collection. They are not the full collection. I have MANY MANY other Spidey comics in my collection) ASM Issue's #'s 18, 50, 90, Web of Spider-Man Issue #1. Those are the most important Issue's I have. I forgot the other important Issue I have though.

Re-posted without spoiler tags!:heart:


Well, I went out and bought OMD. I haven't bought a Spider-Man comic in quite a long time... but I figured (as another poster pointed out) I may as well get the last few issues of MJ and Peter together. Lame, I know, but this arc seems to be the culmination of everything that has happened to my favorite character in the last 6 years... and I've enjoyed JMS' run up until right after Aunt May found out Peter was Spider-Man.





First of all, I was shocked by the price: 4 bucks?! HAHA, guess it has been awhile since I've bought a comic...

On the plus side: It was refreshing to visually see Spider-Man kick Tony's ass and put him in his place. No matter who argues it, I firmly believe Peter could kill Iron Man if it ever came to that. So BRAVO for that scene.

However: the dialogue pissed me off. As I noted in another post, I've never believed that Peter and Tony were good friends, much less that there was ever a "father/son" thing between them, and have firmly believed that Tony's relationship to him being ANY reason for Peter to unmask was utter BULL ****. But right here in this issue, Marvel CONFIRMED that they have been writing the Tony/Peter relationship as psuedo "father figure" one. Peter's complete whining about how his trust in Tony (You were like a Father to me! ) is what led to Aunt May's condition was utterly annoying and uncharacteristic.

The other gripe I had was the constant, neverending *****ing, whining, moaning, and complaining that Peter does... and here's the thing: he's been doing the SAME thing for the last 6 issues! Jesus Christ already, we get it! The entire issue (save for the Iron Man scene) is one long RECAP of Back In Black. And it seems like almost every other page we are beaten over the head with how Peter will do ANYTHING to save Aunt May. "I'd storm the gates of hell! I'd sell my puppy! I'd cut off my nuts!" Good god, you'd think he should be married to her instead of Mary Jane! Seriously, just slip her the salami and get it over with already!

And to echo other posters' annoyance: Peter is back in Red and Blue with NO EXPLANATION whatsoever. It wouldn't even be that noticable if it weren't for the giant "Back in Black" slogan that's been plastered on every cover of Spidey issues for the last 6 months. We've been constantly reminded of why Peter went back to the black costume for months (to be a scarier Spider-Man or some nonsense... ) and now he swings off in red and blue... Either lazy writing strikes again or "who knows, insert whatever other lame Marvel excuse here".

And finally, the artwork... utter crap.


Anyhow, Marvel got my 4 bucks, so shame on me. And in all honesty, I'll buy the other 3 issues as well. Cause a train wreck this big just shouldn't be missed.

Happy reading!

There's ANOTHER 4 bucks I can use for whiskey!
Thanks USMC!

 

[Green Goblin 1964]

Alrighty, I'm finished and like COMICBOY said it's a setup for later which I have no problem with...

So the issue kind of gave my theory a feeling like it will be a fact...

Especially at the end of the ish show Dr. Strange on Part 2 giving some more confirmation on my theory...

Can't wait for Part 2!!!!!!!

Also I'd like to add that the art was...........................OKAY.
Not all that great but good at times, not bad.

 

[Themanofbat]

Swing Shift takes place in continuity and Aunt May is alive and well in that story, so whoever is claiming that she dies in OMD is clearly wrong.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

And Peter is Amazing Bagman!


Okay, I'll stopt:

Wait.....I do have that Issue! I forgot I had it.

Here is the Cover For One More Day Part:2

 

[kguillou]

Ok what in the heck does Doctor Strange and "Hands of Death" and the " Necrophagous Nightstalkers" have to do with Spiderman and Aunt May dying in the hospital?? someone please tell me where this story is going??

Hell?

 

[Kaizer104]

Hell?

That's a good guess. I'm guessing Spider and Strange want to make a deal with the Devil or something..And the nightstalker is going to end up just being another Registration hero running around after Spider-Man. That, or it's a crazy plot twist that drags someone from the depths of comic-hades.. Or I could be wrong..

 

[Dangerous]

Here is the Cover For One More Day Part:2

That is only roughly 75% of the cover, you are missing the bottom part w/ Aunt May.

 

[Kevin]

Peter did say he was willing to go to hell.

 

[kguillou]

Who here wants to bet that this story's ending is gonna be very anticlimactic?

 

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

I was gonna buy part 1 only to find out I had $2.. I was so disappointed.

 

[SalaciousVC]

That is only roughly 75% of the cover, you are missing the bottom part w/ Aunt May.

sorry it's a screen cap i found

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

Who here wants to bet that this story's ending is gonna be very anticlimactic?

This time, im not so sure...

 

[SpideyZERO]

Ok what in the heck does Doctor Strange and "Hands of Death" and the " Necrophagous Nightstalkers" have to do with Spiderman and Aunt May dying in the hospital?? someone please tell me where this story is going??

Spoiler

If you read the Sketchbook, you can see sketches of Spidey traveling back to the time when Aunt May was shot, and he is attacked by Necrophagous Nightstalkers. So I think they are some time traveling monsters.

Are you joking?

You ask a good question though. What does all of that have to do with Aunt May dying? Well, that's why YOU BUY THE BOOK AND YOU FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not a genius or anything but I'm pretty sure that's why Marvel put that all over the book.

 

[SpideyInATree]

I read the first issue of One More Day and was extremely EXTREMELY impressed. I didn't really have too many high hopes for this thing because of all the Hype surrounding it but so far so good.

I have to say that I missed Ron Garney on this issue. He was really coming into his own on Amazing as the run went on and he did a bang up job during the Civil War tie-in's and Back In Black.

Anyway...back at the ranch. Quesada's artwork was definitely on the money. I'm going the minority route and gonna give some amazing props to Quesada for holding down the fort as Editor In Chief and doing fantastic art duties on One More Day. Don't let the rest of these nerds tear you down for being talented and in a position they never could fathom being in.

The scene between Peter and Iron Man was about as perfect as your going to get. Tony definitely was right in the end. Peter did betray him and he did break the law which makes it difficult for him to help. It's blatantly obvious that Pete would definitely take Iron Man in a one on one fight now, haha. Damn he tore Tony apart! t:

In conclusion I've been impressed and it's awesome seeing JMS tying a lot of things up from the six years in his run. I'm looking forward to Friendly Neighborhood # 24 and to see what Doctor Strange can do for Peter Parker and his dying Aunt. Should be getting interesting by next issue.

But even if the rest of the series sucks I have a nice cushion to fall back on knowing full well that the next creative team on Amazing Spider-Man will be Dan Slott and Steve McNiven...so, yeah...there's always something to look forward to, my fellow Spider-Man fans.
