One More Day sucks. One Moment in Time doesn't, even though it should. I know lots of people will disagree with me on this, but I feel like a large part of this comes from a misunderstanding of what the two stories have done to the Spider-Man mythology. By now though I'm sick of people hating One Moment in Time, a story with gorgeous art that is actually worthy of your time so you can understand the new status quo. 
 
       For those who don't know, One More Day was the story in which Aunt May rests in the hospital after taking a bullet through her stomach (Said bullet was shot at Peter, who dived out of the way). In an effort to save her life, Peter goes to find aid in Iron Man, Dr. Strange, Mr. Fantastic, and everybody he can think of to save her life. When nobody can help her, Mephisto, the devil, comes to Peter and Mary Jane and offers them a deal, their marriage will be taken away in exchange for the life of Aunt May. Pretty much, sacrifice their love in order to save her life. The two accept the deal and the world around them is changed so that the two were never married. The devil gets to know that a love so pure was taken away from them. 
 
       One Moment in Time explains how this changed the world around them and led to where we currently are. 
 
Here are the major changes: 

• Peter Parker and Mary Jane never got married. Peter got hit in the head by a cinder block and fell off a building the night before and ended up unconscious for the ceremony the next day. Instead, the two decided to stay together but not get married unless Peter could stop being Spider-Man. 
• When Aunt May was sick, Peter still went to everybody he could find for help. When that didn't work, he waited by her bedside and when he heart rate zeroed performed CPR and saved her life (Miraculously) 
• Peter willingly took back his secret identity with the help of Dr. Strange, Mr. Fantastic, and Iron Man. After this, only he and Mary Jane knew who he was under the mask, since he felt it wasn't fair to take that away from her. This has of course changed as he's revealed his identity to some others.

Excellent rant. OMIT doesn't deserve the crap it gets, but it's understandable why it gets it (it's tainted by OMD, and comics readers are annoyingly boneheaded sometimes).

Thank you! I was about to make a new topic to see if anyone could help me make sense of it. :) Now that I understand it, I completely agree. Great stuff.

good stuff....I'm actually really sick of all the people complaining about OMD still...it happened...get over it

I'm still in the process of reading OMIT, but I gotta say, the art is very subpar(when it shows the Present). I don't enjoy it at all. Heck, I'd rather have had Romita Jr. draw it. 
My reasons:
1) While the colors are great, the characters look very bad to me. Pete looks FAT in the first panel - I was shocked. So does MJ in a few panels in the first ish. She should be gorgeous like she is almost every other time. Pete just looks off. The panel in which MJ is holding the tray of coffee, she looks like a plus-size model, and we all know she is as far from that as anyone can be. 
2) The artists change every 10 pages or so. I can live with it but it is distracting because it doesn't seem consistent while reading. 
 
However, I love (Queseda?) the art of the panels just following the mind wipe, when they are in a dark room; it's fantastic compared to most of the other stuff in these few issues.
One gripe I have is the cinder block bit: how on earth can that disorient him to that extent? Sure, head trauma, but it's a bloody cinder block. Very bad PIS.
 
I thoroughly enjoy the dynamic he has between his women now though, so I don't mind the story. What I am confused about is what you tried to clarify above. Did Mephisto plant this memory of Peter going to Strange to give him the illusion that there was no malicious intent behind the mindwipe?

" good stuff....I'm actually really sick of all the people complaining about OMD still...it happened...get over it "

I have evidence to point the contrary from Linkara and the Last Angry Geek

OMIT is character assassination against Mary Jane. I can't accept how Mary Jane was treated in this story. She was made into a victim and was played as a weak character. When she has always been portrayed as a strong independent woman. 

I hate the character of Mary Jane anyways, so I'm cool with it.
