Editorial Review:

The stakes have never been higher for Peter Parker. At his darkest hours - and he's had plenty - Peter has always had one shoulder to lean on, one person who'd remind him who he is, who he was, and who he can be. Now he's about to lose that person. What would he do... what would you do, if you only had "One More Day?" The most-talked about - and controversial - comic event of the year - brought to you by J. Michael Straczynski and Joe Quesada! Collects Amazing Spider-Man #544-545, Sensational Spider-Man #41, Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #24 and Marvel Spotlight: One More Day/Brand New Day.

Worst Spider-Man story ever!:

To start, I have always been a Marvel fan, also I have been a Spider-Man fan since I can remember first reading comics. Spider-Man has always been the hero that makes the hard choices and has been the morale compass of the Marvel universe.

I've just finished reading this story arc in the form of individual issues from last year. I was aware of the controversy surrounding "the decision" made by the Parkers, and hoped that reading it myself in full would give me some sort of insight as to why that decision was made (an inescapable cataclysm requiring their sacrifice, or a deal that was thought to be straight-up but was turned on its ear by Mephisto's trickery, or something along those lines). Unfortunately, it only increased my incredulity, as... more info

a good, hard hit on the head:

yes, this story is a hard hit on everyone's head.
yet, as the author explains in the direct version of the comic book, one that needed to be done to keep the characters alive and non-static. i had no idea that this turn of the story would be taken, and even if you know that straczynski considers himself a hired gun, the story is very emotional, dense, and most of all -- totally logic in terms of comic book logic.
