    I can't believe Joe actually dug himself an even deeper hole after OMD he actually had the balls to say what happened with Mephisto never happened and it was Dr.Strange the wiped everyone's memories. why the hell couldn't he have at least had peter and Mj acknowledge they made a deal with the devil at that way something could have been salvaged the entire story was completely pointless and just added insult to injury. Long story short Joe Q when it comes to Spider-man is a idiot who could not pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were on the heel.

    To be fair, Mephisto's deal was that he wanted Mary Jane and Spider-man's love, not only his marriage so the story was about how their relation kept going down until their love was broken.
     
    That being said, for what I've seen the story is pretty much stupid

    @RozZzje:
    Exactly why I didn't read it. When they told me that everything was happening the original way it did before brand new day, I was like," WTF! Isn't sh#t supposed to be changed up. MAry Jane got shot!? WTF"! After that I refused to read it. Now the origin of the species arc, that I wanna read.

    I didn't even bothered trying to make sense of it. I gave up on that story a long time ago. Another thing that piss me off was the horrible art in the next issue compared to that awesome cover,

    I thought it was kinda cool. Everything happened because of Mephisto, but instead of goin' about sayin' "ooh, magic," it was just a series of events that led to what we have now. Gotta say, I went into this arc with some of the lowest expectations, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with how it turned out.

    Before I say anything about OMiT, I just want to say this. Marvel has done a great job with Spider-man. Its pretty much been a rollercoaster, they build us up with great storylines such as the recent Grim Hunt (awesome wasn't it?)  and then send us hurtling back down in an anticlimax with  a load of [insert appropriate word here] such as this whole "Brand New Day" crap, but still we keep reading... Anyways, all I can say about OMiT is: Urgh... why did they have to go and ruin it? AGAIN? Personally I don't like the way things went.... HOWEVER, like  ' aztek the lost'  said...there might be more to this arc?

    I hope what MJ says is true, or would I be placing too much faith in Marvel?

    I think they should have done it that way the FIRST TIME around. OMIT was basically a retcon of a retcon.

    And yet people will still buy the comics, rewarding bad writing and editorial mismanagement with their hard-earned dollars.

    Harry never died, if you had been reading ASM, you would know that. According to recent continuity, his testimony of "I'm dying" didn't mean much because he was high as a kite on Goblin Serum. Norman then took the "body" to Mysterio and had the death faked, then sent him to rehab in... (you guessed it)... "Europe". (I put that in quotes because they never really say WHERE in Europe.) 
     
    Spidey's other powers are still there, it's just that--- 
    A: They only show up in true life or death fights 
    B: They haven't made a story addressing it (but they have said they are still there, over and over, in the letters column)

    that's all correct and as you said...they've said that it's still a possibility that he still has his Other powers but he's forgotten that he has them

    All OMIT proved is that Joe Q couldn't write decent spider-man comic to save his life.

    @Alexander Anderson:  After this and the 1st two parts of Origin of Species I gave up on amazing spiderman for the 2nd time last time was after OMD and i stopped until they hooked me with Anti-Venom and if I do decide to buy this title again it will be in back issues so I'm not giving money to marvel and saying its okay to suck at writing
