"One More Day" To "One Moment In Time"...

Remember ONE MORE DAY? I sure do... and I'd rather forget it.

The 2007 controversial Spider-Man story that "rebooted" the Spider-Man universe in a way deemed unforgivable to long time fans has caused the webslinger to once again live the bachelor's life; No longer married to red head Mary Jane Watson, and his secret identity once again established as secret. Now how could something so unimaginable to continuity freaks happen just like that? Simple. Peter Parker made the proverbial "deal with the devil" to save his Aunt May's life after she was mortally wounded by a sniper's bullet meant for him in the aftermath of the Civil War. The devil himself turned out to be Mephisto, who wanted nothing more than to take what was most precious to Parker's life in exchange for saving the old lady's life - his marriage. So with the deal done and sealed, Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson were no longer a couple, and any trace of the public's knowledge of Spider-Man's identity was erased, leaving him a free spirit once more. However, what really happened to make that deal a possibility? What went through the sidelines, and what did Mary Jane whisper to Mephisto's ear before she gave her consent to erase her marital ties with Peter? All that will be revealed in July, as Joe Quesada finally goes back to Spidey's life with "One Moment In Time"...

Yes... The story I've waited for so long is FINALLY coming to Amazing Spider-Man, and what was once a convoluted way to restore Spidey's innocence will finally be explained in a handful of issues. Will we see resolution? Will there be absolution? Nobody knows for certain. Just wait for Marvel to cook the books, and check out their August solicits for the meantime at Marvel.com.
