REVIEW: Spiderman: One More Day.

Hello,

I finished Spiderman One More Day last night. So everyone I know who reads comics (or at least follows them) has said what a huge pile of shit this book is. I haft to disagree. I not only enjoyed the writing but the whole concept of Peter Parker & Mary Jane giving up there lives together & ending there marriage to save Aunt May's life was really thought out. It sets up a lot of story telling for the future cause you KNOW Marvel will have Peter & MJ “re find” there love. When this happens it’s going to be a HUGE deal in the Marvel universe. I know it will be special for me when I do read the “re finding” each other story line. In a few years it’s going to make me smile.

Now if you want an action packed, fighting story…this is NOT for you. This story is a drama/story telling focused book. Very little in the form of action, in fact the only battle lasts maybe 2 pages between Iron Man & Spiderman.

The art is really well done & looks nice but I do have a complaint. MJ looks silly to me. I just don’t like the way her face is done. Aunt May looks very creppy too. Kinda freaked me out a lil bit.

One thing I do as a reader is put me in the heroes’ shoes. I do this with almost every story I read & how I can relate. Also depends on what’s going on in my life determines what I read. With that in mind, now to the question; what would you do for one more day?? Me personally…I would have let the old women die. LOL. I’m an asshole I know but Aunt May would have wanted me too. She would have wanted MJ to be by my side & to let her move on into the after life. She would have said “Peter, I want you & MJ to be happy. I want you to be in love”. That’s what I think.

But this is Peter Parker & he will never let Aunt May go (not if he has something to say about it).

I look forward to reading Brand New Day (the following story). I would love to one day write the next chapter of Peter & Mary Jane’s life. Spiderman is a character I have always related to more than a lot of other hero’s. I take Spiderman very seriously & love his world. Some of my favorite memories as a kid were reading Spiderman @ my moms in the backyard hanging out with my only buddy, my dog.

So the verdict is in: 4 out of 5 stars.

Peace.

Now keeping inline with the Spiderman topic; here’s a song written for the Spiderman 3 soundtrack. This song is perfect for this One More Day theme & makes it a really nice addition. I love this song and you will to.
